The signs have been down for weeks, and now the rumors have been confirmed —Harveys Lake Tahoe in Stateline will become Caesars Republic.
Caesars Entertainment made the announcement Wednesday morning.
Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe is the oldest ongoing casino operation at Lake Tahoe. Founded by Harvey Gross in 1944 as a small café and gas station with three slot machines, the casino grew to become Lake Tahoe’s largest casino. With approximately 88,000 square feet of gaming space. There are now more than 1,200 slot machines, and nearly 100 live-action table games.
The casino has been undergoing an extensive remodel that included the expansion of Chef Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen and the addition of Lisa Vanderpump’s Wolf by Vanderpump. When completed, the $160 million renovation will include state-of-the-art upgrades, luxurious accommodations and elevated dining and gaming options while immersing guests in a new, contemporary resort designed to embrace the look and feel of Lake Tahoe.
The name change and transition is expected to be completed by July 1, 2025, and the hotel and casino will remain open through the transition.
“We are thrilled to usher in a new era with the transition to Caesars Republic,” said Karie Hall, SVP and General Manager of Harrah’s and Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. “This transformation honors the storied history of Harveys while introducing modern amenities and elevated experiences that will redefine luxury in Lake Tahoe. We look forward to welcoming guests to a resort that blends the best of our past with an exciting vision for the future.”
Caesars owns another Caesars Republic branded hotel in Arizona.
The resort is also remodeling all of the rooms in the Remus Tower, formerly the Mountain Tower, and will introduce butler service for select suites in both of the destination’s hotel towers for an unmatched luxury stay. Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe’s other hotel tower, the Romulus Tower, previously the Tahoe Tower, is also being refreshed after a full remodel in 2020.
Guests will enjoy a newly designed lobby bar, Cleo’s Coffee and Cocktails, that transforms from a café by day into an upscale lounge by night, offering a stylish and sophisticated space to relax and unwind.
