Caesar’s Tahoe
Caesar’s Tahoe is one of the four big hotel/casino/resort establishments that dominate the casino strip right at the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe. The others are Harrah’s, Harvey’s and Horizon.With regard to comfort, convenience, beautiful views from the rooms, access to gambling and entertainment, and proximity to outdoor activities, the four hotels are very similar. You can be sure of a pleasant experience at any one of them. However, your tastes and pocketbook may dictate that you choose one rather than another. Caesars and Harrahs are the most expensive, followed by Harveys, with the Horizon the definite value leader. Harveys has the largest casino at Tahoe, but the other casinos are quite diverse and perhaps more pleasant for their smaller size. All of them have health clubs and spas, but Caesars has perhaps the most extensive amenities including an indoor lagoon-like swimming pool.Generally, I rate Caesars as the least desirable of the four because I just don’t like the campy pseudo-Roman theme. However, if it’s your thing, Caesars may be a good choice for you.The Casino
By Tahoe standards, Caesars casino is one of the biggest, but it’s only modest by Las Vegas standards. However, the dealers, waitresses, and other help seem much more friendly than they are in Vegas or Reno. If you don’t find what you’re looking for at Caesars, take a quick walk to one of the other nearby establishments. For some cheap entertainment, including free drinks, spend some time at one of the $5 blackjack tables. Those familiar with blackjack will find that Caesars, like almost all casinos, is taking more and more countermeasures against card counters, most significantly the almost universal use of mechanical continuous shufflers. But, it’s still fun!Most of the luxury-kitsch rooms and suites at Caesars have oversize tubs, king-size beds, two telephones, and a view of Lake Tahoe or the surrounding mountains (some, however, overlook the parking lot). Famous entertainers perform in the 1,600-seat Circus Maximus. Stone Street Bar & Grill is the best sports bar in town and also has shuffleboard and occasional open-mike nights. 328 rooms, 112 suites. In-room: ethernet, dial-up. In-hotel: 5 restaurants, room service, tennis courts, pool, gym, spa. AE, D, DC, MC, V.
