Project Overview

Gephart provided design-assist services for this expansion that featured a 20-story high-rise hotel tower and convention space. Nestled in the beautiful Smokey Mountains, the property has luxury amenities such as multiple restaurants, fitness center, and rooftop swimming pool.

Our Work

Gephart provided early-participation design-assist electrical construction and low voltage systems for this fast-track project with a focus on safety, quality, and prefabrication.

Success
  • Gephart’s bench strength was on display, powering through the pandemic and a very challenging labor market with our partner Cherokee Electric to ensure this tremendous project opened on-time.
  • Developed numerous alternate solutions to reduce cost and overcome pandemic-related supply chain disruptions.
  • Concurrently completed 5 renovation projects within the casino during this same period of time including the Wicked Weed Brewpub, Caesar’s Race & Sportbook, Myst Entertainment Bar, Connector Bridge, and Gordon Ramsey Food Market.
Testimonial
"Harrah's Cherokee Resort Expansion required world-class commitments and Gephart Electric delivered in all aspects."
