Breakfast at Cascades.. Resort at Squaw Creek, Lake Tahoe 6/6/2021
Grey R.

Cascades Sunday 6/6/2021 Breakfast Tremendously enjoyed amazing breakfast spread at Cascades on a Sunday morning following my arrival to Resort at Squaw Creek in Tahoe. Reminded me of Sheraton's breakfast & brunch buffet in Rome, Italy. Cibo molto gustoso! It's all about freshness, ambience, presentation. Molto saporito! Cheeses & fruits to begin with.. strawberries, pineapple, honey dew.. smoked salmon slice with a dab of chive-onion cream cheese, fresh cucumber slice, capers.. without the bagel, no carbs! Laughing, let's see if I have enough willpower:) Whet that appetite! Omelette station! Freshly cooked savory omelets & eggs over easy.. or scramble, in front of your very eyes.. mmmm, delectable! May I please add a piece of bacon to that! Pancakes & waffles at the chef's station, cover them in blueberries, add strawberries, these are my yummy toppings, skip the syrups & caramels! Freshly squeezed grapefruit & a cup of French press Java please, no cream! Morning started.. A cocktail, anyone?! Here are your buffet choices at Cascades: Fresh Start Fresh sliced seasonal fruits, whole fruit baskets Selection of assorted cereals, house-made granola Seasonal yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, Chef's daily smoothie Charcuterie & cheese platter Smoked salmon with accompaniments, bagels Chef's Station Chef's daily special omelets & eggs any style, made to order Breakfast potatoes Bacon & local pork sausage Pancakes, waffles, assorted toppings Chocolate, maple syrup, caramel topping Baker's Oven Selection of freshly baked Danish pastries Breakfast bread Fresh baked muffins Daily baker's pastry choice Assorted croissants Cream cheeses Orange marmalade, strawberry jam Selection of juices, freshly made coffee, and gourmet hot tea selections, cocktails, french press, or specialty coffees The honey bee that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb Never tired of ever buzzing to and fro Because they take a little nip from every flower that they sip And hence (And hence) They find (They find) Their task is not a grind Ah, ah, ah!

Warm sticky buns. The best I've ever had!
Haylee M.

Best breakfast buffet I've had! They had so many options, and all of the food was great! I made sure I tried some of everything. Sticky buns: Show stopper, a MUST HAVE. I had like 3 of these my first day there, and had no regrets! They're warm and have just the right amount of cinnamon. I can't even find the right words to describe this heavenly dish. French toast: Perfectly cooked, another must try. Waffles: Were a little cold and not crispy at all. I didn't even finish the quarter piece I took. Scrambled eggs: Great! Bacon: Crispy, soft, you can have your pick! Smoked salmon: It was really good the first day, but didn't seem fresh the second time in. Omelette bar: I don't think its possible to go wrong with a build your own omelette place that has about 15 topping options! Pasties: The cheese danish was good, buy my favorite was one that had a sweet filling and powdered sugar on the top. Probably had a hint of cinnamon too. I couldn't stop having them. Frittata: the usual. Oatmeal: Tried to be healthy, so I had some of this, definitely made the right decision. Strawberries: Some were fresh some weren't, but I guess that always happens.

Located on the bottom floor of the main resort building, the view is fantastic! We came here because we had a breakfast voucher for the breakfast buffet. The buffet is from 7AM - 11AM so you have plenty of time to fill up before heading to the slopes or whatever big activity you have planned for the day. We went around 11AM on a Sun and luckily there wasn't any wait. Since it wasn't too busy, we were able to request to sit next to the windows (which I highly recommend). Buffet Pricing: $24 Adults / $12 Children *~Fresh Start Station~* Sliced Seasonal Fruit Fruit Baskets filled w/ Apples, Oranges, Bananas Assorted Cereal Hot 9 Grain Cereal House-made Granola Assorted Greek Yogurt *~Chef's Station~* French Toast Omelets & Eggs (Any Style, Made-to-Order) Pancakes (Assorted Candy Toppings, Whipped Cream, and Sweet Breakfast Syrup to top) Waffles Breakfast Potatoes w/ Tri-colored Bell Peppers & Onions Bacon Local Pork Sausage Traditional Eggs Benedict *~Baker's Oven Station~* Fresh Baked Danish Pastries, Muffins, Banana Bread Daily Baker's Pastry Choice White & Wheat Sliced Bread Regular & Chocolate Covered Croissants Wild Flower Honey Comb Regular & Strawberry Cream Cheese Orange Marmalade & Strawberry jam *~Continental~* ($18) An assortment of Fresh Fruit, Greek Yogurt, Hot Nine Grain Cereal, and Pastries made fresh in house *~A La Carte Breakfast~* $24 Adults / $12 Children *Includes Continental Items +2 Eggs (Any Style) w/ Bacon or Sausage, Breakfast Potatoes & Toast +Make Your Own Omelet: ham, Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, Tomatoes, Spinach, Choice of Cheese +Traditional Eggs Benedict +Buttermilk Pancakes +Belgian Waffles w/ Fresh Strawberries +Cinnamon Dusted French Toast w/ Fresh Strawberries & Sliced Bananas Drinks: Selection of Juices, Fresh Brewed Coffee & Gourmet Hot Tea Selections Mimosa Bar: $12 Bloody Mary Bar: $10 Note: 18% Gratuity for parties of 6+ They have a Make-Your-Own-Bloody-Mary Bar and a Mimosa Bar if you'd like one with your breakfast but it's not included with the buffet. I love how you can customize your omelets (yes, they have egg whites only as well). They didn't skimp out on them and were very thick and fluffy. The waffle was crispy and very airy. The bacon & pork sausages were crispy but not burnt. I also loved the fresh honeycomb as I put that w/ my hot water and on a bit of toast. They had an interesting assortment of toppings (Crumbled Oreos, Candy, Jams, Chocolate Syrup, etc) for your pancakes which were way too sweet for me. Lots of pastries were available if that's what you like for breakfast. A bunch of artisan breads with cold cuts were also laid out along side the fresh fruit. A good assortment of choice that were constantly re-stocked. Dishes frequently cleared and drinks re-filled. Definitely a great way to start the day.

This place gets a thumbs up!

Beautiful views, super friendly staff and relaxing. The home made Pico de Gallo was tasty and went great with the made to order omelettes. Eggs benedict were a little dry but they had lots of other options. They had a very good selection of pastries as well as fruit my son definitely approved.

The Bloody Mary Bar is creative snd delicious!

I was blown away and slightly overwhelmed by how big this buffet was. There were so many options and different cuisines to choose from! We tried a bit from each station and the food was decent but one complaint I would have is that everything was really salty. One place that stood out to me was the pho station. I had no expectations and didn't think it would be as authentic as Vietnamese restaurants. However, it was pretty legit in my opinion! It had a good flavored beef broth. The rice noodles were cooked perfectly, al dente and not soggy. It's basically a DIY pho bar. The sever working the station was pretty rude though. I was a bit confused on how to place the order and instead of helping me, she gave me an attitude. The staff comes by regularly to take away any empty/dirty plates. I highly recommend checking this place out. Definitely come hungry!

If you're Diamond status and up, it's free. There are two parking machines to feed your ticket by the stairs. You can also feed it at the gate when you leave. Best to do it beforehand in case your card needs assistance. The location is central and walking distance to everything. CVS is outside on the main street to pick up water or what you left at home. You can get coffee at Starbucks downstairs in the lobby or outside next to CVS called Noel's. Access to Ceasar Republic is connected underground to go across the street. You can casino hop very easily. The casino itself is out dated and small that the air circulated with cigarette smell. I had my mask on but the cigarettes were so strong.

We could hear people on the hallway and next door. Elevator screens didn't show what floor you were on or going to. So that made things a little confusing. Lots of areas undergoing construction, like the arcade. And pretty expensive too. The resort fees ($30 a day) and the self parking ($20 a day) make this stay something like a 5 star hotel, but it isn't that. Location is great. Quick walk to Heavenly Village. Love that it's connected by an escalator to Caesar Republic (formerly Harvey's). I probably wouldn't stay here again. I would stay across the street at Caesar Republic which seemed to be newer and fresher.

A couple things: it was definitely not as packed which was nice! The selection was a lot more seldom which I understand it not being a holiday, but some of the food I could have sworn was from Sunday (the fruit lost color and was gross, the cobbler dessert had shells in it) I will say the catfish was DELICIOUS!! What I liked was even doing a lap with the catfish on my plate back to my table it was still piping hot! They do clean your dishes really quickly once you're done with them which I still love. My main concern and I would love to get in contact with someone about this- Last night was a Pho station which they have on Wednesday's, I really came for THAT! Huge anticipation. It's absolutely delicious but to a fault. Unfortunately if you don't eat meat (vegan or vegetarian) they will still put your noodles in the same meat broth. The person before me got pork, and when it was my turn I said no meat and it went into the same pot, when I got back to my table I was picking meat out of my pho. I think it would be considerate to have a separate pot with vegetable broth and possibly even like shrimp for those of us who don't eat meat or are vegetarian / pescatarian. Just something to be a little more considerate of. Otherwise everything was great! The dessert could have been fresher some of the cupcakes were hard and there was a fly on one of the desserts, maybe be more mindful like you are on holidays!

The buffet spread is pretty small compared to other buffets, and aside from the desserts, nothing really stood out. I tried to make the most of the all-you-can-eat crab, but the legs were watery and tough to get meat out of. The "sushi" options were limited (only two) and tasted stale, same with the shrimp & mussels. Basically any seafood or main meat dish had that "sitting out too long" flavor, and even the salad toppings tasted stale, which is never a great sign. The dessert station was the highlight.. much more variety, fresher, and genuinely tasty. That said, it was oddly set up with many items behind glass, requiring staff assistance, while everything else is self-serve. The ice cream station could also use more topping options. On a positive note, the service was great - friendly & attentive. Overall, while the discount and service are nice, I couldn't find a main course that would bring me back. Probably a one-and-done for me.

We spent five nights at the Everline, with no expectation of decent food in the area...a drive to Truckee maybe but knowing Tahoe is mostly miss and miss. But something about Six Peaks intrigued us, so menu unseen we showed up on our first night. Immediately we knew the old school late 20th Century decor wasn't the vibe this place was doing...this was fine dining at its best. As if writing, they do a $95 four course prix fixe which is actually five courses (four plus dessert).

I did not request a cancellation and still have no idea how this happened. To re-instate the reservation, I had to be charged the same amount again. They informed me I would receive a refund in 3-7 business days from the initial payment. I did not receive a refund, nor any confirmation of a refund from the hotel. Upon reaching out to customer service again after the 7th business day, they couldn't find any note of a refund. I had to report the double charge to my bank as fraud. Now onto the actual stay...our room was disgustingly dirty. There was a thick layer of dust along every surface in the entire room. It looked like the room had not been cleaned in weeks. Every piece of bedding and every single towel was filled with static. After just sitting in the bed, you would get shocked by anything you touched. There are no outlets near the bed and very minimal outlets in the room at all. Our room was supposed to be directly across from the other room in our party, and instead it was down the hall. This was after several confirmations from the hotel that it would be directly across. When we booked this room, there was a special going on for a $25 food and beverage credit per room, with 25% off the bar at the hotel. We did not receive this credit, nor did we receive any discount at the hotel. This advertisement for the credit and discount was also a complete scam. Prior to this hotel switching from Hard Rock to the Golden Nugget, it was one of our favorite places to stay. After trying it out post-switch, we will never be staying here again.
