Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville

We came to the 2023 Tattoo Convention here. They charged for parking this year, which was $9 per day. This year was a bit better not having to pay through the box office. The concessions were decent. We're able to get drinks and food there and the food was ready pretty quickly. Bathrooms were decent, but started running out of toilet paper by the end of the day,So they really need to have someone checking.

It was a great venue and a great show. They could probably use a little remodeling and the concessions staff could move a bit faster. But otherwise, it was easy in, easy out and pretty conveniently located. I had a great time.

I hope this venue is not the best that Asheville can provide because it sucks completely. ... I had read reviews that indicated this venue was past its prime and that is so true. The seating was in disrepair-- you can see evidence of that by the piles of seats in the back of the auditorium out in the open.The bathrooms are small and crowded and hot... and the sound was miserable. I've been to concerts from Florida to New York in high end theaters and the lowest dive bars and this venue has the worst sound of any place I have ever been in. Ever.It's epically stupid that Harrah's Cherokee Casino has bought the naming rights for this dump. The casino is not located anywhere close by and when you walk into that casino it's about 1 million times nicer than this place. I think all the people who are writing good reviews about this place need to take a trip to Atlanta and visit our Fox theater and see what a good venue was really all about.Asheville should be ashamed with this. Tear it down and start over.

This is a decent location for a concert. It's kinda old and needs some work to update things that have cracked or falling apart, but our concert was very good and enjoyable

I've been to Harrah's Cherokee Center probably 50 times and have seen many great concerts here as well as been to art fairs, food festivals, and crossfit competitions at this venue. All of my experiences have been great. I have so many fond memories that have taken place here.Yes, this is a large venue that has overpriced beer and mediocre food, but it is what it is. That being said, they serve local craft beers and they have a food vendor upstairs that is a local restaurant (I think it's Twisted Laurel?) and serves some awesome food items. They also have impossible burgers! That's a nice option since it's often hard for vegetarians to find something yummy at places like this.The positives of this place outweigh the negatives in my mind. Great concerts. Check their website calendar, so many awesome acts come through here all of the time.

Saw Magical! Nutcracker Christmas Ballet here on 11/20. Performers, costumes and backdrops were from around the world; were absolutely the most gorgeous I have seen. Did a VIP meet and greet with one of the performers before the show, received a free nutcracker ornament and 30th Anniversary book. Was the best Nutcracker performance I have ever seen as well as the costumes that were made. Even had local children in the performance!

Great venue for a concert. We saw Zach Bryan and the show was amazing. We sat in section 224. It was a higher seat but still a very good view. I would have a hard time imagining there is a bad seat in the house. It did take a while to get in the building due to security checks and the line was wrapped around the building. Like any event concessions were e expensive but there were plenty of options for food and drinks.

Gymnastic competition was held at Harrah's Cherokee Center. I love going to the Gala. It's our favorite competition.

It's okay...no luck winning. I'm used to seeing more people, more wins, more accommodations due to visiting Biloxi and Vegas.

The Nathaniel Rateliff concert was amazing!!!! Look forward to the next shows i can find here. Parking was easy too
