Abstract:
Martin describes the nearly completed new casino complex owned by the Cherokee tribe in Western North Carolina. It will feature the largest hotel in the state with over 1,000 rooms, four restaurants, an increase in size of the gaming floor to 150,000 square feet, and a 3,000-seat live entertainment center. It will add 700 jobs to the already 1,700 people employed and have a great financial impact on the local economy.
