Anybody been to the Harrah's at Cherokee in the last decade? I've got a boys trip planned to head up there one night in November, and then go to Asheville for the Avett Brothers concert the next night. Its a Thursday-Saturday trip, which my buddy suggested, and might be the most genius thing ever. You have to use two PTO days for work but coming back on Saturday and having the rest of the weekend to recover seems like a game changer.
This trip is going to take the place of the Vegas trip I mentioned earlier. The crew is a little different and much more committed than my Vegas boys who we're too wishy washy for me to follow through on booking anything. Plus its just a much easier and less expensive trip.
