Back to Work

Consider this an invitation to the biggest party around.

North Carolina’s Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort was already entertainment central. It had two distinct properties which, combined, offered more than 2,000 rooms, 200,000 square feet of Vegas-level gaming, 4,000 slot machines, top-notch dining (including new celeb chef spots opening soon), tons of meeting and convention space, and more. Not to mention awesome expansions in the works. The problem? People didn’t know much about the properties. With two rival casinos opening nearby soon, it was time for Harrah’s Cherokee to make it clear where the party was at. Enter: the “Put on Your Party Hat” campaign.
