Top Emerald Bay Hotel Reviews

Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe

8/10 Good

"We booked two rooms through Expedia, but the hotel had only reserved one room for us. It took the staff over 30 minutes during check-in to identify and resolve the issue. Because the second room had not been reserved in advance, the rooms were not close to each other and were actually located on different floors. This was extremely inconvenient for our group, especially since we were traveling with a child and seniors. We expected the hotel to have both rooms properly reserved and, ideally, located near each other as part of the same booking."

Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We went last year for our anniversary. My husband and I and we loved it. So we win this year again with our two younger boys and we went to the pool and escape Room and it was Amazing. We love. It will be back next year."
