Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe
There was a construction in the lobby area and the work started 7am with a lot of noise. Resort fee was to be paid fully although the pool wasn’t in use and the mess with the construction was a nuisance. Parking fee was high. Food in one of the restaurants was pretty plain.

I went with my Family. The staff was friendly and helpful. The kids loved the pool, especially at night. The hot tub was closed off though. And so was the Arcade.

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort
Property hasn’t changed much since the buyout. Room was okay, nothing to get excited for. Paying for parking while you’re staying in the hotel is a little much.

Very nice property lovely staff great rooms about a seven minute Uber ride away from the main strip, which makes it difficult to get back home if you plan on being out late past midnight
