Harrah's Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this hotel. Room was wonderful."

Basecamp South Lake Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing I can say is the light over our door to the hotel didn’t work, and we arrived during the hotel front desk break time made it hard to check in"

The Village at Palisades Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the loca! Convenient to many towns, parks and lakes. We were there during Made in Tahoe. It was Amazing to not leave the property and have so much accessible. My only suggestion…,take out the carpet in the rooms."

Edgewood Tahoe Resort

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel overall, but the pillows are extremely uncomfortable. My family and I slept poorly and woke up with headaches. The bathrobes were also very wrinkled and looked as though they had been pulled straight from the dryer. A hotel of this caliber should provide comfortable pillows and neatly pressed bathrobes. Everything else was lovely."

Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"I wasn't expecting $262 in added taxes, resort fees and parking for only 2 days."

Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Quickly check in. Easy. Free parking."

Tahoe North Shore Lodge

10/10 Excellent
