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 | edit source]

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]

The shuttered casino was purchased in May 2021 by Barton Health for $13 million, with plans to demolish it and build a healthcare facility.[13]
