Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe
Air conditioning didn’t work, they were in the middle of construction. Staff were excellent! We didn’t win and didn’t see anyone win anything during our stay. The oyster bar was sooooo delicious!

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort
No breakfast included. The pool and hot tub were out of service. This was one of the biggest reasons for picking this hotel because my daughter wanted to use the indoor pool but we couldn’t.

Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe - A Caesars Rewards Destination
Room was extremely nice and clean. The staff was wonderful. Only problem is the construction going on inside it makes navigating the hotel a little difficult but I understand it’s to update everything and it takes time. I would definitely recommend and stay here again
