Hotel overview
Harveys Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino is situated right on beautiful Lake Tahoe. Blocking the view from some of the rooms at its lakeside 'cousin' Harrah's across the street, Harveys offers additional restaurants and facilities that nicely complement any stay in Lake Tahoe, no matter which property you choose. (You can walk between the two properties by way of an underground passageway, or simply walk across the street.)
There is a special Diamond check-in (opposite the front desk and down the hallway on the left) that has a small bar offering bottled water, but it's open only on weekends and for special events. Self-parking in an adjacent garage is complimentary for Seven Stars cardholders (see below), but it's a bit of a walk if you have lots of luggage. Take advantage of the complimentary valet parking instead.
Hotel guestrooms
Request a lakeside view in the newer tower at Harveys. While rooms in both the original tower and the newer tower have been renovated, rooms in the newer tower are larger and offer better views of Lake Tahoe and/or the surrounding Sierras. Rooms do not have coffeemakers, but you can request one at no charge.There is nothing particularly distinctive about Harveys, and its small two-level casino features all the usual slots and table games, as well as a Poker Room. The Poker Room is open Thursday to Sunday, with the first freshly sanitized table starting at 3 p.m.
Complimentary drink service in the casino is relatively frequent; and dealers, slot attendants and servers all are extremely friendly and helpful.

Harvey's Lake Tahoe Poker Tournaments
Except for the small Cabaret Theater – home to The Improv at Harveys– there is no showroom, but Harveys has the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena that in the summer that attracts a somewhat more stellar roster of performers than Harrah's (Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Phish and the Dave Matthews Band, to name a few).Harveys Lake Tahoe Reviews
Fitness center - Seven Stars cardholders and a guest receive complimentary entry to Harvey's fitness center overlooking the outdoor pool. The fitness center also has a sauna, but whirlpools are located outdoors.
Tahoe Star cruise - Explore the beauty of the largest alpine lake in North America on Bill Harrah's private yacht, left. Seven Stars cardholders get four tickets per year and Diamond cardholders get two. [Seasonal - Check for valid dates.]
There is no Seven StarsLounge, but the Laurel Lounge (formerly Diamond Lounge) -- hours change seasonally – offers priorityentrance to Seven Stars cardholders. To reach the lounge, look for the employee-operated elevatorin the high limit slots area. (Alternatively, some days entrance is from the top floor of the Mountain Tower.) Sit at therelatively large bar, enjoy the view from seats along the windows, or relax inthe lounge's comfy overstuffed leather chairs.Food service is extremely limited (salads, sandwich fixings, soups, potato chips, pretzels, etc.) and comes out in late afternoon between 4 and 6 p.m.Once it's gone, it's gone, though you generally can find assorted dry snacks and cookies after the 'main' food is gone.Drinks may be taken out of the club into the casino.
Caesars Rewards Center
The Caesars Rewards Center shares space with the Main Cage and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Should you choose this for your Annual Retreat?
Lake Tahoe is an absolutely gorgeous place to be during any time of the year. But, remember that weather may make it difficult to get there during the winter, so plan accordingly. You will probably fly into Reno and take a limo or rent a car to get to Tahoe. Depending on what time your flight arrives, and your originating location, you may want to consider spending the night at Harrah's Reno before making the trek to Tahoe. With Harrah's (and its selection of restaurants and Reflections Spa) across the street, skiing in the winter/boating and swimming in the summer, Harveys should be a popular destination for Seven Stars retreats. It would be easy to spend four nights (and $500) here – especially since you can 'cross charge' to your room any meals, spa treatments, etc., even if they take place at Harrah's.Jolly joker slots online, free. When you check-in, be sure to verify that your $500 comp account has been set-up. Alcohol charged to the room counts toward your $500 in expenses, but not gratuities for meals and spa treatments. Any taxes on food, liquor and spa services are waived, and are not counted toward your $500 in allowable expenses. Best advice is to keep all your receipts until you settle your final bill.
