Caesars Entertainment is transforming one of its storied Lake Tahoe properties via a $160 million renovation that will result in Harveys Lake Tahoe being reborn as the luxe Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino.
Set to unveil the rebranding July 1, the project will include upgrades to its accommodations, dining and gaming options. The full renovation project is expected to wrap in the summer of 2026. Caesars Entertainment said the property will include updates to its meeting space later this year during the second phase of the project.

“Lake Tahoe is a stunning destination, and we’re elated to bring a new world-class resort worthy of its allure to the lakefront,” said Anthony Carano, president and COO of Caesars Entertainment, in a statement announcing the project. “The property transformation has begun and 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, and we know our guests will be blown away by this tremendous transformation.”
Located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, the resort will be the second Caesars Republic to open in two years, following Arizona’s Caesars Republic Scottsdale, a Hilton Hotel.
“Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe is making meetings and events successful with its beautiful scenery, family-style service and redesigned facilities," said Michael Massari, chief sales officer for Caesars Entertainment. "We're here to give meeting planners great service and flexibility, ensuring every event is unforgettable. We are excited about the complete rebrand and redesign, turning Harveys Lake Tahoe into a modern luxury resort that keeps its rich history while offering new experiences and amenities. This transformation promises to set the stage for a new era of luxury in Lake Tahoe."
