Harrah's Lake Tahoe, hotel and casino in Stateline, Nevada
Harrah's Lake Tahoe is an 18-story hotel in Stateline, Nevada, sitting right on the California border at the southern shore of Lake Tahoe. The property has over 500 rooms, many fitted with angled windows that face either the lake or the surrounding mountain ridges.
The hotel was established by William Harrah, who began operating casinos on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe in the 1950s and helped turn the area into a popular destination. The tower that stands today grew out of that original venture as the business expanded over the following decades.
The name reflects the well-known Harrah's hotel brand combined with Lake Tahoe's popularity as a destination. The hotel serves as a gathering place where visitors from around the world experience gaming, dining, and mountain scenery together.
The hotel sits right on the Nevada-California state line, so crossing into the other state on foot takes only a minute or two. Visitors planning to walk to the lake shore or nearby trails should wear comfortable shoes, as conditions vary by season.
Stateline is one of the few places in the US where a state border runs directly through the middle of a small town, putting two different legal systems side by side. This means that gambling is legal on one side of the street and prohibited on the other, which gives the area its own character.
