I worked at Harrah's Tahoe in the late 70's. Back then, it was fun to go to Harrah's. They had a cabaret with excellent down and out bands (those who were big but them dropped out of the limelight) and an excellent Headliners Room for the big names. We had 4 keno games and when we visited Lake Tahoe last year, we were disappointed to find all keno games were removed, the cabaret was a makeshift lounge that offered a locals type quality of bands. The atmosphere was depressing. The town of Lake Tahoe is a total dump. It has become too commerial and has lost it's getaway atmosphere. Gary Loveman, the former CEO, turned Harrah's into grind shops. The first Harrah's in Reno was the class of Reno but was so neglected, it closed and was sold to a real estate development company.
