Top hotels in Pioneer Trail
Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe
The hotel is under renovations, the room we booked didn’t look like the pictures posted online. It’s still the older rooms and we had problems with our AC but the front desk helped with it. Construction started very early around 7:30ish am. You can hear the bagging noises.

It was a great family place with activities and cute little store. Pool has family movie nights. A great location for walking and shopping. I would definitely come back.

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort
The pool and hot tub were closed for cleaning. The waiter at night (works during the week)in the restaurant Café Del Soul went out of his way to make me honey mustard for the chicken tenders. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean.
