Harrah's Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino.

Standing tall at the Nevada-California border, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe has been a Stateline anchor since 1973. The 18-story resort pairs its high-altitude setting with a massive 65,000-square-foot casino, offering an all-in-one base for travelers who want both mountain recreation and nightlife. Angled windows throughout the 512 rooms are specifically designed to frame views of the Sierra Nevada and the lake, while the lower levels house a full-service spa, an indoor pool, and a sportsbook. Dining is a central draw, highlighted by the high-altitude views at Friday’s Station Steak & Seafood Grill and Italian plates at Sapori. Best of all, the resort sits within walking distance of the lake’s beaches and remains just minutes from the Heavenly Ski Resort slopes.
