Cherokee Casino's Fixed Location and Straight-Line Distances

The Venue Sits at 35.46983 North, 83.304807 West

The query mentions Siloam Springs and Cherokee Casino, but the venue's position is fixed while the reader's starting point is not. The documented coordinates place the property in Cherokee, North Carolina, on the site of the former Frontier Land theme park. Straight-line distances to reference cities are supplied below, each labelled as great-circle measurement.

Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving mileage, travel time, highway numbers, or exit information. A reader measuring from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, or any other origin should use a mapping tool with the venue's coordinates and their own starting point.

Documented Straight-Line Distances from Cherokee

The table lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance is documented. The measurement type is identical for all rows: straight-line, also called great-circle or as-the-crow-flies. No road distance appears anywhere in this article.

Why Straight-Line and Road Distance Diverge

A great-circle measurement follows the shortest arc across the earth's surface between two coordinate pairs. A road route cannot do that. It follows engineered corridors shaped by terrain, water crossings, and political boundaries.

The Cherokee venue sits in the Blue Ridge region of western North Carolina. Any route from the west, including one from the Siloam Springs area of Arkansas, crosses multiple state lines and encounters ridge-and-valley topography. Interstate and state highway alignments bend around mountains, follow river valleys, and connect population centers rather than cutting directly toward a single property. Water barriers such as the Mississippi River and the Tennessee River system add further detours that do not exist in a straight-line figure.

The gap between straight-line and road distance is not constant. It depends on the density of the road network, the number of natural obstacles, and whether a route must pass through urban congestion. A reader should treat every straight-line figure above as a lower bound, not an estimate of a drive.

The Venue's Position Within North Carolina

Cherokee is in the far western part of North Carolina, near the Tennessee border. The coordinates place the property north of Atlanta, west of Charlotte, and east of Nashville's longitude. The venue is owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and operated by Caesars Entertainment, with a documented opening date of November 13, 1997.

Documented facility figures include 320 hotel rooms, 22,025 square feet of gaming space, and over 100 table games as of summer 2014. These figures come from publicly published reference sources and are revised as properties are rebuilt and expanded.

What to Confirm Before You Go

The query asks about leprechaun games, but this article does not hold a game inventory. A machine or table-game mix changes frequently and is not part of the documented geographic record supplied here. The reader should check the venue's own published game listings or contact guest services through the property's official channel for the current floor selection.

Before traveling, confirm the following through the venue's own booking and information pages: current operating hours, any entry or parking policies, hotel availability and rate for the specific dates, and whether a particular game title is presently on the floor. Road conditions in the Blue Ridge region also change with weather and construction, so a mapping application should be checked close to departure.

FAQ

Does this article give the driving distance from Siloam Springs to Cherokee Casino?

No. Only straight-line distances between documented coordinate pairs are published here, and Siloam Springs is not among the documented reference points. Road mileage is always longer than straight-line mileage and depends on the route chosen. Use a mapping tool with the venue's coordinates and your own starting address to obtain a road distance.

Where exactly is the casino located?

The venue sits in Cherokee, North Carolina, at 35.46983 north latitude and 83.304807 west longitude. The documented location is the site of the former Frontier Land theme park. It is owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and operated by Caesars Entertainment, with a documented opening date of November 13, 1997.

Can this article tell me which games are currently on the casino floor?

No. A current game inventory is not part of the documented geographic record. Game titles, machine counts, and table mixes change as properties update their floors. The venue's own published game listings or guest services channel is the authoritative source for what is presently available.
