Western Nevada Adventure Holidays

Great time with the family

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid, traveling with my folks. The place is definitely showing its age. I come back every year because it is convenient to south shore activities. But on Tues 7/1/25, I woke at 6:50am to drilling noises directly above my room. Clearly there was construction activity, which is totally understandable in an old building. But why so early in the morning? Maybe wait till 8 or even 9am when most people will be awake. I think I’ll reconsider our future stays and instead opt for newer properties on the California side of the state line. As for the casino? Well, clearly it is still the realm of the smokers. Despite the trend toward lower smoking rates in the US, smokers still rule in casinos. In Vegas, I suppose, newer ventilation systems make the smoke pollution less obnoxious. But Tahoe casinos haven’t caught up to their flashier cousins to the south. Bring extra changes of clothes if you plan on even just passing through the Harrah’s casino.

It wasn't bad. The beds were comfortable and the hotel clean and old, but in a good location. In my opinion, for the price of the hotel, they could of at least provide a couple of bottled waters, a plastic bag in the closet for dirty clothes, which is normally included even at cheaper motels) and maybe an extra pillow or blanket in the top of the closet, all of which were nowhere in sight. Also, no one was available to even grab a clean towel from. We tried calling the front desk a couple of times, as suggested if housekeeping was needed, but no one EVER answered the front desk phone. There was a coffee maker, but no paper coffee cups, only plastic ones. Luckily there was what looked like a maintenance man in the hall walking by to get some paper coffee cups, but no one was in sight for housekeeping in the halls in the mornings to get a couple of clean towels the second day.

This is the only place I will stay in Tahoe. Beautiful amenities and wonderful staff.

I was a little surprised how outdated and rundown parts of the hotel/casino are. It is due for an update . However, our room was very nice.

Staff was very friendly, even put us near the pool
