STATELINE, Nev. – Building on the momentum of the resort’s rebrand and summer 2025 debut, Caesars Entertainment has announced the launch of Phase Two of the $200 million transformation of Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe Hotel & Casino, formerly Harveys Lake Tahoe. Phase Two introduces elevated enhancements to the resort’s pool experience, meetings and conventions space, and a new bar and lounge inspired by a local legend in partnership with Clique Hospitality.
Slated for completion in summer 2026, Phase Two continues the resort’s evolution into a modern alpine escape, blending luxury with the spirit of Lake Tahoe.
Tessie’s Cocktails & Chords
Inspired by the mythical creature said to inhabit the depths of Lake Tahoe, Tessie’s Cocktails & Chords is where live music and legend intersect. The new bar and lounge, located in the heart of the casino floor, will offer a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere with a creative cocktail program, an extensive beer and wine list and live music. Tessie’s, opening this summer, is Clique Hospitality’s second venture with Caesars Entertainment, after the opening of Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar at Caesars Palace Las Vegas in late 2024. Tessie’s will join a lineup of five new bar experiences that will all be available at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe with the completion of the next phase, including Alto Bar, Bar Centro, Celeste’s and a new home for Dueling Pianos.
“We conceptualized Tessie’s to capture the heartbeat of Tahoe, great music, strong cocktails and rock and roll energy from the moment you walk in,” said Andy Masi, founder, Clique Hospitality. “It’s a place for anyone ready to trade an ordinary night for something legendary.”
High Dive Pool and Lounge
Guests will discover a year-round alpine oasis at High Dive Pool and Lounge when renovations are complete this summer. Featuring a heated pool, bubbling hot tubs and a vibrant indoor/outdoor bar and lounge, the redesigned pool area will offer premium cabana rentals, plush loungers and seasonal beverage service.
Expanded Meetings and Conventions Space
Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will unveil 25,000 square feet of flexible indoor event space designed to energize and inspire groups both small and large. Whether hosting intimate executive retreats, large-scale conferences, or elegant weddings, guests will find a dynamic setting to inspire creativity and progress or celebrate once-in-a-lifetime moments, all framed by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada.
Enhanced Wellness
The resort will also be home to an all-new state-of-the-art fitness center for guests to stay on track with their fitness routines. The fitness center, which will be relocated to the same floor as the High Dive Pool and Lounge and meetings & conventions space, will offer cardio and functional training along with studio space for yoga and other group exercise.
“We’re thrilled to continue the transformation of Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe with Phase Two of construction,” said Karie Hall, SVP and General Manager of Harrah’s and Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. “From the reimagined High Dive Pool to our expanded meetings space and the addition of Tessie’s, this next chapter brings even more ways for guests to relax, connect and celebrate in style.”
Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe will be completely reimagined by summer 2026. With updates that started in the hotel lobby and carried throughout the casino floor, the property now boasts new furnishings and an entirely refreshed gaming experience with new slot machines, a new High Limit Room, a new World Series of Poker Room®, as well as state-of-the-art upgrades across the casino floor. Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe also offers stellar food and beverage options, including Wolf by Vanderpump and Gordon Ramsay HELL’S KITCHEN, as well as a completely reimagined hotel lobby and guest room experience. Renovations are currently ongoing and will continue throughout the first half of 2026.
