Harveys Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino

Great place to gamble and have fun, it was my friends birthday weekend and we had a great time playing on the pai gow, black jack and three card poker tables. Drink service was great as well. Casino is clean

We stayed at Harvey’s for 2 nights. We paid for an upgraded room on the 18th floor with a view of the lake. Win we checked in we were given room 1811. We opened the door and were immediately disappointed with the condition of the DIRTY room. (I wish I would have taken pictures but we didn’t want to be in there and just left without thinking to take them.) Old milk and food in the mini fridge, furniture falling apart and in really bad condition only thing good about the room was the view but we could not stay here for two nights so went back down to the desk and got assigned another room on the lower floor which they said was remodeled room 911 and was still not that great. We have stayed here before but now realize we will not stay again until the remodel the hotel which I believe is in the plans for the next year or so. Pay the money and stay Nextdoor at Harrah’s or the Marriott Timber Lodge. You will be much happier. Pictures are of room 911 which was supposedly remodel.

My wife and I booked 3 nights in Reno, after 2 nights in Reno we had enough of the biggest little city so we decided to check out of our hotel in Reno and head to South Lake Tahoe/Stateline. In hindsight we should have stayed in Lake Tahoe two nights but next trip out there I guess. I did a quick online check of hotels and availability for Stateline and looking at photos decided on Harvey’s as it appeared closer to the lake than the other Harrah’s hotel across the street. We wanted a lake view and were willing to pay the price for one. Harveys did not disappoint, our lake view room was great, large room with large bathroom as well. Best of all we got what we wanted, a spectacular view of the lake from the 14th floor. Sunset was awesome against the snow packed mountains and calm lake. Staff we encountered from front desk to casino floor and sports bar restaurant were helpful and friendly, really a nice change from our staff experience in Reno. A pleasant surprise was Harveys is part of the Total Rewards hotel/casino properties and so I got to use my players card that I normally only use on my Las Vegas trips. Just a few things to expect when booking a room here. First off expect to pay an additional $50 per night in resort fee’s, taxes, and parking above the advertised room price. So if your room is say $100 advertisement add an additional $50 for the fee’s, I don’t gamble enough to get the higher level of Players card for parking fee’s to get waived but you do get $3 off of parking if you get a Total Rewards card. The only other minor issue with my room was the lack of power sources to charge your devices such as cell phone and laptop. Hotel management should update the lamps on the bedside nightstands to include the USB/electric outlets for charging phones. Other than that we enjoyed our one night stay in beautiful Lake Tahoe. Next trip I’ll stay at Harvey’s again.

Used to go here in the 1990s and it was a nice place but it is seriously needing a makeover.DO NOT stay in the old tower if you can help it. The rooms are tiny, smoky, dingy and straight out of the Reagan years. Try to get a room in the newer tower or stay elsewhere.Sad to see it is shell of its former self.

I have been staying at Harveys since my boys were small (they re now in their mid-30's) It is convenient and close to everything. I now meet a friend there twice a year . ( children are grown)We have known each other 40 years but live 500 miles apart .It has become a tradition and I have never thought to stay anywhere else. This time I arrived and valeted as I always do. My friend arrived and did the same. She was told there is a $13.00 per day charge to valet and a $5.00 per day charge to self-park. we had 2 cars so double that! What???I do understand non guests having to pay for parking but hotel guests?? Really?? When I checked in I was not made aware of this charge. The next day I questioned this and was told it is a new policy. Our room was fine however starting to show signs of wear. The view is great and the room was VERY clean. Room service was great but rather pricey. Our server David was very pleasant and friendly. Prior to writing this review I checked with another resort across the street and they DO NOT charge for parking. We will be staying there in the future unless there is a change in policy. Also what about the valet staff? Who wants to tip when you pay $13.00 per day for parking? Many of those people have been there for a VERY long time!
