    This place looks like the backrooms. Come for the drinks- stay for the liminal vibes.

    2 Titos mules for $11

    Cheapest drinks at stateline, and the nicest staff. Everytime I come to Tahoe, i always end up stopping here multiple times a night mainly for drinks, but the vibes here are unmatched. Definitely a little more smokey than other casinos but worth a check out!

    Second time here in a month and I gotta say if you want better odds less smoke, food at your machine, and super nice staff-this is the place! While everything on the menu wasn't available. I had several good choices and the food is soooo cheap it's insane. Mini corn dogs for less than $4 and lots of old school gaming made it an amazing visit for me. Shout out to Rachelle for explaining how things work and being so welcoming and friendly

    Very unique gaming establishment. You have to see the place in person to believe it exists. This was once Bills gambling hall. I always assumed that it was part of Harrahs years back - as in Bill Harrah owning it all. Today its Dotty's. As you walk in there is one step up - be careful - it should be marked better with some yellow tape. Inside it looks like grandmas house. Very cozy and inviting. Not at all institutional... Plastic checkered tablecloths and potted plastic plants - its like grandma put a few slot machines and a bar in her living room. You are either going to love it or hate it - again - its so unique I love it for that. This is a locals casino. This is for people who hate big Walmart and Amazon. Interestingly enough Dotty's is fairly large corporation and I think the business model is to make it look 'mom and pop' when its not. Maybe you just moved here to this city and don't know anybody - this is your new second home. This is going to have a lot of the same crowd all the time. Out the back there are more exits and it goes around to the burger bar's backyard outdoor seating area. Boom!! I could be there as you turn the corner. Thats a cozy backdoor spot nobody knows about... and I think the lure of this place is probably few people know it even exists.

    Excellent service from her!!

I had to stop the flooding myself, getting soaked in dirty water contaminated with urine and feces. Reaching anyone for help was nearly impossible--the front desk and operator didn't answer, and housekeeping took 10 minutes to pick up. After engineering temporarily repaired the toilet that was on its way out, housekeeping barely cleaned the bathroom. They wiped up the visible mess with towels but never mopped or disinfected the area, despite us traveling with children and a baby. I went down to speak with the front desk manager, Kayla Smith at 5:00 a.m. after losing an entire night's sleep, the only compensation she offered was some resort credit. I asked for a late checkout so we could at least get some rest, but I was told the hotel was "fully booked" and couldn't accommodate the request. On a Monday, that explanation was difficult to believe and felt like an excuse rather than a genuine attempt to help. Beyond the great location, the property feels old, poorly maintained, and unclean. Between the lack of responsiveness, inadequate cleanup, and poor customer service, I can't recommend staying at Harrah's Lake Tahoe. There are better options nearby.

Check-in was fast and easy. We paid an overnight parking fee and resort fee, which we felt were reasonably priced. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed, and the shower was large and comfortable. Our room did not have a microwave, which we didn't mind, but if that is something you need during your stay, I recommend checking with the staff to see if other rooms offer one. The hotel has a steakhouse, restaurant, casino area, children's arcade, game room, pool, and gym. We especially enjoyed the gym! It was well equipped with weights, different machines, workout stations, treadmills, and more. We also appreciated having towels, disinfectant spray, and water available. The only downside during our stay was housekeeping. At 10:20 a.m., with checkout at 11:00 a.m., they opened our door without knocking and yelled, "Housekeeping." I found this very unprofessional. A simple knock would have given us a heads-up before entering. Overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay at Bally's. The location is also very convenient and within walking distance of other casinos, shops, restaurants, and stores such as Target and CVS. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing given the expectations we had for the property. When we arrived, I noticed that the trash can still contained garbage from a previous guest. There were also noticeable stains on the floor. The balcony sliding door opens properly, but it does not close as it should. In order to close it, I have to lift the glass door off its tracks, which is clearly not how it is intended to operate. The most concerning issue was with the towels. Before taking a shower, I noticed that one of the towels had a stain that appeared to be fecal matter. It was extremely unpleasant and raised serious concerns about the cleanliness and inspection of the room. I immediately notified the front desk and requested clean towels. Approximately an hour and a half later, I was still waiting for them, meaning I had not yet been able to take a shower with clean towels. What makes this especially disappointing is that the room itself is very nice and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and maintenance issues significantly took away from what was supposed to be a special 20th anniversary stay. I'm disappointed to say that, based on this experience, I don't think I will be staying here again. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, because with better attention to housekeeping, maintenance, and guest service, this could be a much better experience.

The champagne at check-in is a nice touch. If there's a line, sit by the fire in the lobby or the one outside while you wait. Rooms are good sized, especially the mini suites.

I had never stayed at the lodge before, but several of my friends have and could not recommend it enough. We had a ground floor two-queen bed room. Everything about this hotel speaks luxury. The room was spacious and had all of the comforts you could ever want: soft, plush beds, a large bathroom with ample vanity space, large walk-in shower, and massive bathtub. The grounds of the hotel are absolutely breathtaking and we enjoyed sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the beach watching the sunset over Lake Tahoe. I love that they offer fun activities such as board games and s'mores around the fire. They offer morning, yoga classes by the lake as well as lawn games like cornhole. The pool looked wonderful, although we did not partake. This is definitely a spot you would want to come if you were celebrating a wedding or an anniversary. And I intend to bring my husband here for our wedding anniversary in October!

We also took advantage of washing the kids swimwear in the washer and dryer in our room so they could rewear for the next day. I stayed in the 3rd bedroom with an adjoining door and had my own sink, microwave and small refrigerator when I wanted to sit on the loveseat and watch a different TV show in my room.

Forced Valet- There is no other parking option other than $50 subpar valet which is insane. It's a margaritaville not the Ritz. Just one example of how they take any chance to squeeze money out of you. Dirty Hotel- The hallways walking to the room are gross, it looks like they don't ever vacuum. We checked into our room, and instantly I was disgusted. Hand prints on the walls, sheets and pillows visibly dirty and stained. All of the tables and surfaces and crumbs and dried up crusty residue. We called the front desk and all though she kindly switched us to another room and said "This rarely happens" (which is BS, look at all of these reviews), we were switched to another room that wasn't clean. We slept on our own blankets and felt like we couldn't relax in our room. The Ambience- The room was very dark and lacked light and was overall just depressing. Not to mention you could hear everything going on next door and outside. They don't even have a smart TV, it's cable only which I've never experienced at a decent hotel. Another example of their cheap budget cuts. Price- Overall with the total prices, and resort fee's and valet, you do not get what you pay for. At first glance the hotel may look decent but the more you inspect, you'll see its run down, dirty, and these is giving motel environment for a hotel price. From the looks of the responses, the owner does not care. It's a crap apology and no changes clearly. I'll never stay here again. RUN. I gave it two stars because at least the staff and valet was nice, and it was close to heavenly village.
