Caesars Entertainment has announced plans to transform Harveys Lake Tahoe into the Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino this summer. The $160 million renovation will feature state-of-the-art upgrades, luxurious accommodations, and enhanced dining and gaming options, immersing guests in a contemporary resort designed to reflect the beauty of Lake Tahoe. The property will remain open during the transition, with July 1 marking the official change to Caesars Republic.

“Lake Tahoe is a stunning destination, and we’re thrilled to introduce a new world-class resort that matches its allure,” said Anthony Carano, President and Chief Operating Officer of Caesars Entertainment. “The property transformation has begun and will continue through 2026, starting with a new hotel tower, lobby, exceptional restaurants, and a reimagined casino opening this summer for guests to enjoy right away. The second phase will commence in the fall, with the entire project scheduled for completion next summer. With its bold new look and modern energy, Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will usher in a new era of luxury in the region, and we are confident our guests will be amazed by this remarkable transformation.”

Spanning 1.6 million square feet, the resort, designed by the renowned Marnell Companies, will undergo a comprehensive transformation beginning with the hotel lobby and extending throughout the casino and hotel. The 88,000-square-foot casino floor will be revitalized with new carpeting, lighting, tables, chairs, and cutting-edge digital displays, offering a modern and dynamic gaming experience. The destination will feature new slot machines, a High Limit Room, and a World Series of Poker Room®, blending sophisticated gaming with high-stakes excitement.

All rooms in the Remus Tower, formerly known as the Mountain Tower, will be remodeled and butler service will be introduced for select suites in both hotel towers, providing an unmatched luxury experience. The Romulus Tower, previously the Tahoe Tower, will also receive enhancements after a complete remodel in 2020.

Guests can anticipate the opening of Cleo’s Coffee and Cocktails, a newly designed lobby bar that transforms from a café by day into an upscale lounge by night, offering an elegant space to relax and unwind. These additions, along with WOLF by Vanderpump and the recently expanded Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN, will further establish Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe as a premier destination for upscale dining and luxury experiences.

“We are excited to herald a new era with the transition to Caesars Republic,” said Karie Hall, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s and Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. “This transformation pays tribute to the storied history of Harveys while introducing modern amenities and elevated experiences that will redefine luxury in Lake Tahoe. We look forward to welcoming guests to a resort that elegantly melds our rich past with a vibrant vision for the future.”

Nearby, Harrah’s Lake Tahoe, connected to Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe via an underground passageway, is also undergoing improvements, including renovations of the resort’s iconic Summit Suites. The highly anticipated Brew Brothers restaurant has recently opened, bringing a vibrant craft beer and dining experience to the property. Additional technological advancements and property-wide improvements are underway, further enhancing the guest experience.

Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will be the second Caesars Republic to open in two years, following the successful launch of Caesars Republic Scottsdale, a Hilton Hotel. Renovations at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will continue throughout 2025, with a pause during the summer season, and the entire project is expected to be completed by mid-2026. Further updates will be announced in the future. For ongoing updates and more information, visit www.CaesarsRepublicTahoe.com.
