The Tahoe Biltmore Lodge & Casino in Crystal Bay dates from 1947 and offers a convenient location on Tahoe's north shore (the lake is across the street), a lobby with period charm and a basement-level restaurant and casino.
Pets are welcome in a limited number of rooms in the older "cottage" buildings out back.The Biltmore is scheduled to be razed in a few years to make way for a new hotel to become part of the Boulder Bay health and wellness resort now in development.
The nearest dog-friendly shoreline is Coon Street Beach in the nearby community of Kings Beach.
