Harveys Lake Tahoe Resort & Casino Review Jump to comments

Owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment, Harvey's Lake Tahoe holds the distinction of being the first casino resort built in Lake Tahoe (Stateline) way back in 1944. The sprawling property is situated on the Nevada side of the border with California, on the south shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe—North America’s largest alpine lake. It is an incredible location and the original owner had great foresight. This property gives some of the finest views of Lake Tahoe and offers visitors a true resort vacation experience.

 

Located across the highway and connected to Harrah’s by an easy-access tunnel, Harveys Lake Tahoe is the oldest ongoing casino operation at Lake Tahoe. Founded in 1944 as a small café and gas station with three slot machines, Harveys Resort Casino has grown to become Lake Tahoe’s largest casino. With approximately 88,000 square feet of gaming space, guests at Harrah’s & Harveys will find more than 1,200 of the most exciting slot machines; nearly 100 live-action table games as well as Northern Nevada’s first restaurant by Chef Gordon Ramsay, HELL’S KITCHEN and Lisa Vanderpump’s Wolf by Vanderpump. Additional benefits to playing and staying at Harrah’s & Harveys Lake Tahoe include Caesars Rewards, the famed Caesars Entertainment national casino players’ card program that rewards guests for playing at all Caesars Entertainment properties, including Harrah’s and Harveys Lake Tahoe.
