With a history dating back to 1937, a completely renovated Crystal Bay Casino opened its doors on August 1, 2003. To get a feel for old school Tahoe with all the modern luxuries, check out the CBC. Crystal Bay Casino also is the home to the five-star Steak and Lobster House.
Set in an old bowling alley, the Crown Room has a state-of-the-art sound and lighting system, a hardwood dance floor and a capacity of 750. The casino hosts two clubs: the Red Room – with a small performance space – and the Crown Room, one of Tahoe’s premier performance venues. Renovated to maintain a bygone charm with modern luxuries, the 10 rooms of the Border House are furnished with antiques and retro pieces and have Jacuzzi tubs and plasma TVs, and a few rooms have fireplaces.
They’ve got rooms to rent out in an adjacent building called the Border House. The gaming includes blackjack, craps and roulette as well as slot machines and a sportsbook. Natural stones cover the walls of the casino and a giant (fake) oak tree grows from the middle of the pit, spreading its branches out over the gaming tables and giving it a surreal ambiance.
