Fodor's Expert Review Harveys Lake Tahoe Resort Hotel and Casino

This resort began as a cabin in 1944, and now it's Tahoe's largest casino-hotel, where premium rooms have custom furnishings, oversize marble baths, minibars, and excellent lake views. No rooms have refrigerators (request one if desired), and only some have coffeemakers. The hotel amenities include a full-service spa, a 24-hour business center, a ski shuttle, and plenty of shops. Hell's Kitchen, one of lauded chef Gordon Ramsay's outlets, delights diners seeking fine food with an entertainment connection, as will Wolf by Vanderpump, the new-in-2024 restaurant by Bravo celeb Lisa Vanderpump. For a thick steak, head to the always dependable Sage Room, which opened in the late 1940s on the casino floor and is still going strong in its perch on the 19th floor. Harveys Cabaret is the hotel's showroom. In summer check out the popular outdoor concert series.
