The lights are back on in the Mountain Tower at Harvey's Lake Tahoe after a fire in the hotel casino's electrical room Friday evening kept guests in the dark for about four hours.
According to the Front Desk Supervisor on duty at 12:30 a.m. Saturday, the rooms now have power but the elevators are not operating, so all guests must access their rooms by the stairs.
NV Energy is still on the scene.
Firefighters from Tahoe Douglas Fire kept the fire contained to the spot it started according to Fire Marshal Eric Guevin.
No further details are available at this time.
