Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort sits 139.7 miles straight-line from Charlotte, 419.5 miles straight-line from Washington DC, 500.5 miles straight-line from Chicago, and 621.4 miles straight-line from NYC. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
The fixed point this article is measuring from
The venue is in Cherokee, North Carolina, at documented coordinates 35.46983, -83.304807. Publicly published reference sources also place it on the site of the former Frontier Land theme park.
Those coordinates are the stable part of the question. If you are trying to understand where the property is, the useful starting point is its fixed position in Cherokee rather than any guessed route from an unstated origin.

How to read these numbers correctly
A straight-line figure answers one narrow question: how far apart two fixed points are over the earth's surface on a great-circle basis. It does not tell you what a car, bus, or other real trip must do to reach the venue.
Real routes are longer because roads do not pass through mountains, private land, rivers, lakes, or built-up areas in a perfect line. They also bend around local street patterns, cross state lines at available crossings, and follow the route network that exists rather than the line a map ruler would draw.
That difference matters especially when a venue is in a mountain region or when the reference point sits across major water or urban barriers. So the table is useful for orientation and comparison, but it is not a substitute for checking a live route in a mapping service on the day you travel.
Where the venue sits within North Carolina
The property is in Cherokee, North Carolina. From its documented coordinates, it sits in the western part of North Carolina, because its longitude is far to the west within the state, and it is in the northern hemisphere because the latitude is positive.
Using only the documented coordinate pair, the venue can be understood as a fixed western North Carolina point from which the listed reference places are measured. That is the safest way to interpret the geography without inventing unsupported route detail.
Facility scale at the documented point in time
Publicly published reference sources describe the venue as having 320 hotel rooms, 22,025 square feet of gaming space, and over 100 table games. Those figures describe a documented point in time rather than a guaranteed current count, because casino properties are expanded, renovated, and reconfigured over time.
The same source trail dates the opening to November 13, 1997 and identifies the owner as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Ownership, operation, and branding can change over time, so readers using this article for trip planning should still confirm current property details through the venue's own official channels.
What this article can and cannot measure
This article can measure only the venue-to-reference pairs listed in the table above, and only as straight-line distances. If the place you care about is not one of those listed reference points, this article cannot measure that pair.
In that situation, the practical method is simple: use the venue's documented coordinates, 35.46983, -83.304807, or its documented city and state, Cherokee, North Carolina, in a mapping tool and compare your own starting point there. That gives you a route based on your real origin instead of a guessed one.
What to confirm before you go
Before spending money on travel, confirm the changeable items this article does not publish. That includes current road routing, parking arrangements, hotel availability, room categories, event schedules, food service availability, and any property access rules that may affect your visit.
The authoritative current answer for those items is the venue's own official website, its booking path for rooms, and its guest-services or contact page. For routing, use a live mapping service from your exact starting point, because your road mileage will be longer than any straight-line figure shown here.
FAQ
Is Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort close to Charlotte?
The documented figure is 139.7 miles straight-line from Charlotte. That is useful as a geographic reference, but it is not a road distance. If you need the real trip length from Charlotte, check a live mapping service because road miles are always longer and can vary with the route chosen.
Can this article tell me how far the venue is from my location?
Only if your location matches one of the listed reference points in the table. Otherwise, no. The venue's position is fixed at 35.46983, -83.304807 in Cherokee, North Carolina, while your starting point is personal to you, so the right way to measure it is with a live map using your own origin.
Does the straight-line table show the best way to travel there?
No. A great-circle table shows geographic separation, not the best route. Real travel depends on the road network, terrain, water barriers, and other routing constraints, so the shortest line on the table is not automatically the simplest or shortest real trip on the ground.
