The property was founded in 1944 by a Sacramento meat wholesaler and his wife, becoming one of the earliest gaming establishments in the Tahoe area. This opening marked the beginning of organized gaming in the region.
Martin Stern Jr designed the Mountain Tower, introducing modern architectural elements that influenced subsequent casino resort developments across Nevada.
