History[edit]

The Inn was originally a smaller casino called Caesars Inn, opened in 1969 with five table games and 100 slot machines and operated by Grover L. Rowland, B. A. Stunz, and Herbert Fisher.[6]
In 1972, Harvey A. Gross (owner of Harvey's Resort Hotel along the state line about a mile to the southwest) bought Caesars Inn and surrounding land, including the old Tahoe Sky Harbor airport and casino[7] site to the north (which also housed Fabulous Eddie's Stardust Club in the late 1950s),[8] and expanded the property to include about 130 rooms.[9]
During renovations to the Harvey's Inn in 1973, while workers were welding in the remodeled casino, a fire broke out, heavily damaging the new casino area and motel lobby and resulting in water damage to the restaurant area.[10]
Following the death of Harvey A. Gross, Harvey's Inn was sold in 1985.
On May 24, 1985, Lakeside Inn opened, under president and general manager Rick Jorgenson.[11]
On April 14, 2020, It was announced that Lakeside Inn would close permanently due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[12]
