OverviewTravel to the past and enjoy a string quartet and a five-course dinner in an elegant wilderness. Beginning in the 1880s, the beauty of Lake Tahoe enticed entrepreneurs to build the most opulent resort hotels in America catering to the wealthiest from California and Nevada. Baldwin's Tallac House, the Tahoe Tavern and Brockway Hot Springs Hotel fought to outdo each other as they took luxury to new heights with musical entertainment, movies, horseback excursions, and five-star dining. Tahoe Tavern even featured its own private railway, while Brockway spawned America's first gambling casino resort, the Cal-Neva Lodge, where celebrities mingled with mobsters. By the 1960s, the golden era began to fade as the tourist demographic shifted, but a splendid legacy endures. Author Paul Nelson brings to life the intrigue and opulence of Lake Tahoe's earliest resorts.
