Noted inventor Charles Kettering, who is credited with perfecting the electric starting motor, said “Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas and progress.”
A new year can also be a chance to change your fortune, and the casinos in North Carolina are offering several opportunities for their guests to do just that in their New Year’s Eve celebrations.
Even if you don’t win a cash prize or contest on NYE, being a guest at Harrah’s Cherokee, Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River, or Catawba Two Kings casinos on Sunday, Dec. 31 can be a superb way to put an exclamation point on 2023!*
Here’s our annual end-of-the-year roundup of New Year’s Eve promotional offers and celebration plans at North Carolina’s three casinos.
Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort
New Year’s Eve Chance to Win a Million Contest
Someone could win $1 million from Harrah’s Cherokee. How do you enter? Swipe your Caesars Rewards card during play or swipe it at a Promotions Kiosk to enter.
Your latest swipes to enter must occur before Dec. 31 at 3 PM. Drawings will be held hourly starting at noon and run through 4 p.m. You must be present to have a chance to win a prize.
If your name is called, report to the first-floor Rotunda to claim your place as a finalist. All finalists will have three spins on the wheel. Their three spins must total exactly $10,000 to win the $1 million cash prize. If it does not match $10,000, they win the sum of the three spins.
A representative of Harrah’s told NCSharp that their casinos see many people on New Year’s Eve who are coming together with friends. “Many of [our] regulars make a night of it,” the representative from the membership program said. The most popular activity around this time of year, according to Harrah’s is slot play.
Other Special Offers
- Freebie Frenzy: Every Sunday and Monday, guests can swipe their card and be eligible to boost their rewards points to exceed the usual limit of 250. On Sunday, New Year’s Eve, anyone who swipes into the Freebie Frenzy will also be entered to win a Bella Russo Executive Luggage Set.
- Rooms are currently discounted to $89 (from the regular single room rate of $109).

Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River
One thing you realize quickly when you visit a Harrah’s casino is why the Caesars Rewards program is the most popular in the industry. Every time you visit, every time you swipe, every purchase you make at a Caesars resort, you earn. And earning feels good.
On New Year’s Eve, Harrah’s Cherokee Valley River in Murphy ends the year with giveaways, boosted offerings, and entertainment.
Roll Into A Million
The casino is running a Roll Into a Million contest in December, culminating in a grand prize drawing on Jan. 1, 2024. You can enter by swiping your loyalty card on Dec. 31, but you must be present Monday between Noon and 4 PM to claim a spot as a finalist.
