Lakeside Inn (formerly Tahoe Sky Harbor, Fabulous Eddie's Stardust Club, Caesars Inn and Harvey's Inn) was a hotel and casino located in Stateline, Nevada.^[1] It had 123 rooms,^[2] as well as two restaurants, three bars^[3] and a casino with 17,852 square feet (1,658.5 m²) of space.^[4][5]

History[edit]

The Inn was originally a smaller casino called Caesars Inn, opened in 1969 with five table games and 100 slot machines and operated by Grover L. Rowland, B. A. Stunz, and Herbert Fisher.^[6]

In 1972, Harvey A. Gross (owner of Harvey's Resort Hotel along the state line about a mile to the southwest) bought Caesars Inn and surrounding land, including the old Tahoe Sky Harbor airport and casino^[7] site to the north (which also housed Fabulous Eddie's Stardust Club in the late 1950s),^[8] and expanded the property to include about 130 rooms.^[9]

During renovations to the Harvey's Inn in 1973, while workers were welding in the remodeled casino, a fire broke out, heavily damaging the new casino area and motel lobby and resulting in water damage to the restaurant area.^[10]

Following the death of Harvey A. Gross, Harvey's Inn was sold in 1985.

On May 24, 1985, Lakeside Inn opened, under president and general manager Rick Jorgenson.^[11]

On April 14, 2020, It was announced that Lakeside Inn would close permanently due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[12]

STATELINE, Nev. — Lakeside Inn and Casino will apparently not make it through the coronavirus crisis.

The casino affectionately known as “the local’s place” on Lake Tahoe’s South Shore announced Tuesday through an emailed newsletter, as well as a post on its website and Facebook page, that it is permanently closing after 35 years “of being a source of entertainment for thousands of guests.”

According to a Tuesday afternoon story from South Tahoe Now, Lakeside Inn President Stacy Noyes said the decision was made after the business was denied an emergency small business loan to help with finances.

Per the South Tahoe Now story, Noyes said Lakeside was denied a loan because the business was not qualified due to being a gaming establishment.

The closure is for all areas of the business, including the casino, restaurant and hotel.

According to South Tahoe Now, Lakeside’s 218 employees were being told on Tuesday afternoon of the permanent closure via texts, emails and through an employee page on the website.

“This decision was not made lightly,” according to the website post. “We hoped that we would be able to resume operations once this COVID-19 situation improved. However, that’s just not in the cards for us. We were able to stay open for 35 years because of our tremendous staff, loyal guests, and a supportive community.

“The relationships we have created with our guests are just incredible.”

According to the post, Lakeside is asking for guests to share memories by sending an email to newsletter@lakesideinn.com. Staff plans to post them on the website for all to read.

The casino featured 295 slot machines and six table games, including a poker room with four tables. It featured a full sportsbook, while the hotel offered 115 rooms arranged over two floors.

Lakeside said in the upcoming days to check the website’s COVID page at lakesideinn.com/closure-updates information on how to cash in slot tickets or table games chips.
