Lake Tahoe Horizon Casino Resort is a resort casino in South Lake Tahoe at Stateline, Nevada. Formerly the Sahara Tahoe and High Sierra Resorts, it is one of four major casino hotels at Stateline, Nevada.

History

The property opened as the Sahara Tahoe in 1965. Elvis Presley performed here from 1971-1976, and his suite is still available for guests to book. Also hosted the group of techies who defined the CD-ROM standard [http://www.horizoncasino.com/hotel/suites.php] . In 1983 The hotel was given a western theme and re-branded Del Webb's High Sierra Hotel. In 1990 it was sold to Columbia Sussex who re-branded the hotel again as the Horizon Casino. As of 2005 Columbia Sussex (leaseholder) is in a contract dispute with Park Cattle Company, the landowners of the Horizon Casino and the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa (formerly Caesars Tahoe), which Columbia Sussex acquired from Harrah's Entertainment.

Horizon Casino and the nearby MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa appeared as the "Nomad Hotel" in the 2007 film "Smokin' Aces" [http://www.tahoedailytribune.com/article/20070112/NEWS/101120077 Tahoe Daily Tribune, Director puts Tahoe in spotlight, January 12, 2007.] .
