History
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.
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 site to the north (which also housed Fabulous Eddie's Stardust Club in the late 1950s), and expanded the property to include about 130 rooms.
During renovations to the new 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.
Following the death of Harvey A. Gross, Harvey's Inn was sold in 1985.
On May 24, 1985, the new Lakeside Inn & Casino opened, under president and general manager Rick Jorgenson.
