If gambling isn’t your scene, worry not - you can enjoy the casinos’ other diversions. You can bluff your hand as you sit under a full-grown (and fake) oak tree or spin the roulette wheel as neon lights flash around you. Lake Tahoe casinos’ themes range from upscale to a reflection of the area’s wood and stone landscape, Old West saloons to hip and edgy nightclubs and rock n’ roll to ghostly. And there are also the newer casinos that trade on luxury, fine dining and amenities galore.

There’s still the cherished bygone sense of style in the nightclubs and personalities of some of these Lake Tahoe casinos. There’s one Incline Village casino and one in Crystal Bay (with a history that started in 1937), but all the others are Stateline casinos. You will, however, find these Nevada casinos in a variety of venues, including resorts, restaurants or just their individual establishments.

All the Lake Tahoe casinos are located on the Nevada side of the lake, so don’t plan on finding any slot machines in the Californian towns. After a day of swooshing down the ski slopes or sunbathing on the beach, put a spin on your evening by paying a visit to a Tahoe casino.
