The Tahoe Biltmore is a closed hotel and casino in Crystal Bay, Nevada. It opened on June 30, 1948, after several years of delayed construction, a result of design changes and rising costs. Upon opening, the Tahoe Biltmore encountered further financial problems. It closed after a year, and would later change ownership and names several times.
In 1953, it reopened under new owners as the Cal Neva Biltmore. Three years later, the property was sold again and reverted to its original name. In 1957, it was sold to casino owner Lincoln Fitzgerald, who renamed it the Nevada Lodge a year later. Another ownership change took place in 1986, when the Tahoe Biltmore name was revived once again.
In its final years, the Tahoe Biltmore had a 10,398 sq ft (966.0 m2) casino and 113 rooms, including cottages. EKN Development Group purchased the property in 2021, with plans for redevelopment. The Tahoe Biltmore closed on April 30, 2022, and demolition of its main building is expected around early 2025, following delays. EKN intends to replace the Tahoe Biltmore with a Waldorf Astoria hotel, expected to open in 2028.
