For being a casino that needs some TLC it's seems a bit pricy. Though it was still cheaper by a few bucks then Quality inn, but they came with breakfast so it's a real toss up. The good news is we finally made it to South Lake Tahoe. So, all is well. The pool is indoors. It looks dated as the whole resort does. But it's still nice. The water is cool, but not cold like it is at the lake. They had a lifeguard on duty while we were here. The outdoor space is really run down. Someone also needs to work on the landscape as it's over run by weeds. The room is dated. We do like it for the size and location. It doesn't have an odd smell to it. It doesn't smell old or stale so that is good. It is a very good size room. The 2 queen option was cheaper then the king do we got it. The downside of the room is they don't have a loveseat or couch to sit and watch tv. They do have a single desk chair. The gym is good, we didn't use it, but it is a good size and many pieces of equipment. They even have a recumbent bike which my husband loves. They have one restaurant on site. A diner of sorts that serves all day long. Including bottomless mimosas for brunch, happy hour tacos, and a special $19.99 or approximately priced prime rib dinners. We've eaten there. Nothing special, but works. For us location really matters. We want to be close to the Heavenly village and South of North.

Very disappointing experience at Bally's Lake Tahoe…read more The service was lousy and definitely did not match what I expected from a resort in Lake Tahoe. On top of that, they charge a $25 parking fee, an additional resort fee, and the casino slots felt extremely tight. To make matters worse, the elevator wasn't working, which made getting around the property even more frustrating. When you're already paying resort and parking fees, you expect better service, functioning facilities, and an overall experience that feels worth the money. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. Overall, very disappointing and not a place I would be in a hurry to return to.

The pool and gym area are greatly improved! The paid garage remains dirty and therefore unwelcoming. The arcade area and hallway appear underused and needs an update with the "don't leave your child unattended" warning wise but lacking obvious security. Our biggest concern was the confusion within the housekeeping unit. We asked for daily housecleaning during check-in but every day of our 4 night stay we had an issue. Front desk seemed to say that I was talking to the wrong housekeeping staff member when attempting to get service. Excuse me, but we ordered daily service and the confusion was not ours but the limited English speaking staff. In fact, we had one staff member knock on our door at 6:30 pm wanting to service. We were getting ready to go out and told her service had been completed earlier. She insisted on coming in. She finally had to pull up "Google Translate" on her phone to understand that we did not need service at that time. We wonder how she applied for her position or was able to fill out an employment application if she knows no English. The furniture was ready for replacement and was dusty but the view as always is amazing! Probably more positive than negative and we will likely return . We do miss Harveys however!

This is a great place to stay for dog lovers. There's a dedicated floor for dogs. I will say if you…read moreplan to bring your dog do not leave them in the room by themselves. Security will be called on you, and I'm here for it. Especially if I'm trying to sleep and your dog is going off the rails. Plus, the casino floor is dog friendly minus the tables. Just take your dog with you. We've been to several Caesars resorts, and by far Nevada resorts are the most dog friendly. California and Colorado are not dog friendly. As far as dog friendly goes, there are several green areas for your dog to go to the restroom. If you exit the lobby, it's right on your left and there are two patches across from each other as well as a very small dog relief area that is gated. If you're looking to get a workout in this is probably one of the more impressive gyms you'll encounter. They have two full squat racks. Not Smith machines, squat racks. They also have TRX, cable machines, free weights, medicine, balls, and a dedicated restroom to that space. The gym is also very clean and is across from the pool on the CC floor. As far as customer service goes, we didn't have any issues, but we're very rarely needing any assistance. Check-in was smooth and it might be because we are diamond plus so we get a separate check-in counter. Hells kitchen is a great place to grab a dessert, and I recommend the sticky toffee pudding. We ate it right on the casino floor and played video poker. There are a ton of dogs that stay here so just keep that in mind if you are traveling with your pup there at least 3 to 4 dogs in the casino floor at a time and many will pass you. Tahoe itself is a really big dog friendly spot. Subtracting one star because the pet fee is a little ridiculous compared to all of the other dog friendly places. Especially for the fact that we have to get into the elevator and go down stairs to a relief area. Other resorts like the Coachman, you can just leave your door and it's there. Just keep that in mind as your pricing things out and weighing convenience.

We often stay at the Golden Nugget when we are in South Lake Tahoe. We started staying there…read morebecause it is very inexpensive while they are remodeling/rebranding the casino hotel. We have only been in one unremodeled room in the last 3 years. I wouldn't recommend staying in one of those rooms, but the newly remodeled sunset Tower is very nice. The Golden Nugget doesn't have a lot of amenities, but it is well located within the South Lake Tahoe casino area. It is within walking distance of every restaurant and casino that you want to go to. We go to Lake Tahoe to bike. The Golden Nugget is a great location to start a bike ride. You can leave right from the parking lot and go at least 30 miles on trails around up to Camp Richardson, Tallac, Baldwin Beach, Fallen Leaf Lake, etc. It makes for a great day of riding. It's also fairly simple to drive to Incline Village and do several rides there and to ride the Truckee River trail out of Tahoe City. The Golden Nugget doesn't have a lot of restaurants in it, but it does have Salt Grass Steakhouse, which is a solid restaurant. I will continue to stay at Golden Nugget as long as their prices are reasonable.

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. Small things keep this from getting five stars: * No true desk area with plugs if you have to work * Lights in bathroom are dim making it harder to shave * Bed is very comfortable but pillows are mid Spa is very nice. I appreciate the steam room and the shared quiet room with snacks. The heated outdoor jacuzzi is epic -- I may have stayed in it for 30 mins. Massages are resort priced but excellent. Food is high quality and good variety. (Will review separately) Lots of onsite activities, especially during summer. Almost all of the staff are over the top friendly. Despite asking every time, I've never been able to get a late checkout. I guess they are always busy.

From what I see, they have tons of activities for guests. Bike rentals, heated pools year round, and fun activities. Rooms were clean and looked really nice. Semi full kitchen, fridge, microwave, counter top stove, plates utensils. Everything looks great! Except... The major! The bed! As we first walked in, I thought it was a one-bedroom. As I walked into the bathroom and noticed it wasn't a one-bedroom, we noticed the couch was actually a Murphy bed! I was really impressed with the usage of the space and the Murphy bed.. until we slept on it. The bed was HORRIBLE! It was actually a sofa bed. Thin mattress with the bulge of where it folds. We did not get any sleep! My shoulder would hurt after 45 minutes and I'd had to turn. It was an all-night ordeal. Not sure if all beds in this hotel are Murphy beds, but I certainly would ask before checking in again. 3 stars because this is essentially what the hotel is for... sleeping!

My all time favorite game is Skee-ball. My husband was already to play, but learned he'd have to buy a card to play and the instructions weren't that clear on how to put the exact amount of money in the card just to play one game. If they allowed you to put cash in or even use a credit card we would have been all over it. I'm really sad the we didn't get to play. There is also a prize counter that we didn't exams closely.

There are a few soda machines and dip n dot machines around. They also have frozen yogurt and Cinnabon around the corner.

We stayed in a three-bedroom so my son and daughter's family could have their own space and bathrooms while sharing a living room and a kitchen. We were able to cook breakfast while the kids slept in and heat our leftovers from dining out, with the stove, dishwasher and full size refrigerator. 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. There were 8 of us. The pool is so much fun for the kids. There's also a splash pad, and plenty of room with lounge chairs. There's two or three barbecue areas with tables with several barbecues to use. There's two best part is not having to clean it, because staff are there to keep it clean. Activities are provided for guests in the lobby or at the pool. There's a game room with several video games and we took advantage of the fitness rooms. I enjoyed the crafts we made and cookie decorating in the activity room. There is only one restaurant, Fire + Ice, on the property, but there are so many restaurants and stores right outside the gate from the pool and the lobby. The Gondala is right next to the hotel as well. So convenient to in the evening when there may be music and activities going on. We enjoy making s'mores, which the sell for $5, in the evening by the fire pit.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at this Margaritaville resort. I'm glad that I hadn't read most…read moreof the reviews prior to visiting, since many of the other reviewers commented about their frustration on issues that I knew about in advance.. I knew that the mandatory valet parking fee was expensive, and I knew that the resort fee was uncomfortably high. I also knew the Margaritaville brand, and that there would likely be a disconnect between the lake/ mountain experience of Lake Tahoe versus the traditional Margaritaville palm tree vibe. All of that said, there's a lot to like here. The rooms are large, with a separate living room area from the bedroom, there's a dining table, mini fridge, safe in the room, and the water pressure is pretty decent from the handheld shower head. The location is also wonderful, just feet away from the major casinos on the Nevada side, lots of restaurants and retail, the marina, Heavenly village, Edgewood, etc. We spent more time outside the room then we did inside. The TV channels having pretty basic cable was a bit of an annoyance, but since they do have Chromecast, I was able to cast my own TV apps from my phone to the hotel TV. The hotel had a musician come in daily (nice touch), and from their position in the lobby, their voice carried throughout the entire hotel. The hotel itself gives off a layout vibe of an Embassy suites - about eight floors of rooms around a middle courtyard that has the breakfast restaurant on one side, the bar and other seating on the opposite side, and lots of foliage all over. There's also a lot of colorful seating with umbrella covering around the outside of the hotel, which makes indoor / outdoor living easy. That said, I am disappointed with the management/leadership of this hotel, as all of the biggest frustrations are simple fixes that have come up in recurring complaints on this review site. People complain about the lack of engagement at check-in, and I experienced the same thing. Teaching people in hospitality on how to engage with traveling guests is part art and part operational science, but despite all the people who have complained about it, it's still not fixed. I pray that somebody from Margaritaville leadership would take over and start training on how to speak to a customer. I've experienced far better engagement from the cashiers at my local supermarket than I did at this hotel. I've personally trained hundreds of customer service representatives in my 30-plus year career, I was tempted to start teaching people on the spot. Come on Margaritaville, please be better. I've also been trying to come up with a better word for the shuttle management, but I just have to use the word dumb. Before we arrived, I received a text from the hotel informing me of the available shuttle to take us around the local area, and encouraging me to ask the front desk when I arrive. I did ask the front desk agent, and she shared "I don't know when the shuttle runs - it just kind of goes around in a loop. We don't have anything to do with it, you should ask the valet." So I then went to the valet booth, where they said "yeah, it's here when it's here, it picks up and drops off on its own schedule, you should ask the guys who park cars if they've seen it yet today." So when we wanted to go to the marina, we stood out in front and asked the parking attendant, and he encouraged us to stand by the trash can and wait. We waited about 5 minutes (the shuttle was there with hazards flashing, they just couldn't find the driver) at which point we decided to just walk the 1.5 miles on our own. This hotel motivated us to get a lot of steps in over our 4 days.. we never did get to use the shuttle as it never seemed to be available. Even if the hotel has made the strategic decision not to put the shuttle on a fixed schedule, a true "resort" would say, "how about you enjoy our lobby comfortably, and when the shuttle arrives will come get you" (or something similar). To have a plan of putting customers next to the trash can, as a hospitality business, it's just bad leadership judgment. So overall, everything about this Margaritaville gives off the Embassy suites vibe (not a bad thing), from the rooms and layout to the amenities, even down to the "we clean your room when we feel like it" experience (for us, they randomly cleaned it after day 3 of our four-day visit)... And that all comes at a premium price, with additional fees. There's nothing that for me felt like a "resort." All of that is balanced against a great location and the laid-back Margaritaville appearance which I personally enjoy. I keep asking myself if I would stay there again - the best answer I have is probably not at these prices, but if the price was right I would give it another shot.
