Stateline, NV Hotels

Without a doubt, casinos are the main attractions for Stateline, but its convenient location on the border between California and Nevada makes this town accessible to a number of popular locations such as Lake Tahoe – a ski resort Mecca in the Sierra Nevada – and Carson City, the state’s capital. Five major casinos fuel the economy for Stateline, and they are all located in the proximity of Kingsbury Grade also called State Route 207. Stateline residents and tourists who are not heavy gamblers tend to gravitate towards the Lakeside Inn Casino, but the other four resort casinos in Stateline, would appeal more to high rollers. MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa is currently owned by Tropicana Entertainment, but it was once a Caesar’s Palace affiliate. Harrah’s Lake Tahoe resort offers entertainment venues featuring big Hollywood names and luxury accommodations as well as 24/7 casino operation. Harvey’s Lake Tahoe casino resort is less flashy but offers great food and reasonable rates. There is a wedding chapel and health club on the premises. The Horizon Resort Casino was once a venue for Elvis Presley (the real one), and the rooms he used are available as a special suite.
