Harveys began as a cabin in 1944, and now it's Tahoe's largest casino-hotel. Premium rooms have custom furnishings, oversize marble baths, minibars, and good lake views. Although it was acquired by Harrah's and has lost some of its cachet, Harveys remains a fine property. At Cabo Wabo ($-$$), an always-hopping Baja-style cantina owned by Sammy Hagar, sip agave-style tequila while munching on tapas and shouting across the table at your date. Harveys Cabaret is the hotel's showroom. Pros: Hip entertainment, just a few blocks south of the Heavenly Gondola. Cons: Can get loud at night.
