ABOVE: LADY ANTEBELLUM PERFORMS AT THE NEW EVENTS CENTER AT HARRAHS-CHEROKEE.

They're one of the hottest musical groups in the country right now and the appearance of Lady Antebellum as headliners for the Labor Day opening celebation at Harrah's-Cherokee Casino & Hotel was expected to pack the house. They did not disappoint.

Singing their box-office hits "I Need You Now,"   "I Run To You" and others, the group had the audience on their feet for most of the action-packed concert.   Many had been on hand the night before for Hank Williams Jr. and his kick-off celebration.   They were "ready to party" on through Saturday night!

Harrah's-Cherokee has announced a whole slew of star performances for this new 3,000-seat Events Center, with four VIP suites, box seating and more than one thousand seats in the balcony.   They expect conventions, banquets and special events to make full use of the plush seating and the full banquet kitchen.  

The Events Center is just one of the projects underway as part of a $633-million expansion, scheduled for completion in 2012.   It's the biggest hospitality developments underway in the southeast and one of the largest in the U.S.   Situated on a 56-acre property, Harrah's Cherokee has a master plan to add 532 luxury guest rooms and suites, providing the greatest number of hotel accommodations in North and South Carolina.   And, in addition to the new Events Center, they're planning new entertainment and VIP lounges, an 18,000-foot spa, all new state-of-the-art poker room, an Asian gaming room, and a variety of new restaurant and retail outlets, including plans for a new Paula Deen's Kitchen and retail outlet.   With all this, who needs Vegas?
