The North and East Shore keep it low-key, with one lakefront casino-resort and the vintage state-line clubs at Crystal Bay. The big-name casino towers are down on the South Shore at Stateline.
The North Shore's lakefront resort-and-casino — a private beach and full resort amenities with a casino on site. The most refined casino stay on this side of the lake.
The North Shore's historic state-line corner, where small vintage casinos and live-music venues cluster. Some properties have closed or are being redeveloped — see our guide for what's there now.
If you want the full high-rise casino-resort experience — big-name hotels, showrooms and nightlife — it's an hour south at Stateline, right at the base of the Heavenly Gondola.
