Caesars Entertainment has announced plans to transform Harveys Lake Tahoe into Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino, with work to begin this summer.
The estimated $160 million renovation project will include upgrades across gaming, dining and accommodations. Caesars reported Harveys Lake Tahoe will remain open throughout the revamp.
Detailing the project, Caesars said the 88,000-square-foot casino floor will be “reimagined”. New carpets, lights, tables, chairs and displays will be installed alongside new slot machines, a new High Limit Room and World Series of Poker Room.
All rooms within the Remus Tower, formerly the Mountain Tower, will also be remodeled. In addition, the Romulus Tower, previously the Tahoe Tower, will be refreshed after undergoing a full remodel in 2020.
As for dining, Cleo’s Coffee and Cocktails will open in the resort’s lobby. This will run as a café during the day and transform into an upscale lounge at night. Other on-site dining amenities include Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN and WOLF by Vanderpump.
Meanwhile, Caesars will also make improvements to Harrah’s Lake Tahoe across the street. Connected to the resort, the facility will see improvements such as renovations to its Summit Suites.
Work at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino is slated to continue throughout 2025, pausing for the summer season. The entire project is to be completed in mid-2026.
Caesars Talks Up ‘Tremendous Transformation’
Anthony Carano, president and chief operating officer of Caesars Entertainment, said the new-look resort will bring in a “new era of luxury” for Lake Tahoe.
“The property transformation has begun,” Carano said. “It will continue throughout 2026 with the all-new hotel tower, hotel lobby, stellar restaurants and the start of a completely reimagined casino coming online this summer for our guests to enjoy right away. Our second phase will begin in the fall, with the entire project completing next summer.
“With its bold new look and modern energy, Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will set the stage for a new era of luxury in the region.”
Karie Hall, senior vice president and general manager of Harrah’s and Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe, said: “We are thrilled to usher in a new era with the transition to Caesars Republic.
“This transformation honors the storied history of Harveys while introducing modern amenities and elevated experiences. We look forward to welcoming guests to a resort that blends the best of our past with an exciting vision for the future.”
Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe is the second Caesars Republic to open in two years, following Caesars Republic Scottsdale, a Hilton Hotel.
