History

Sahara Tahoe (1965–1983)

Plans for the casino hotel were announced in January 1963 by the Del E. Webb Corporation, a real estate development firm that also owned casinos in Las Vegas, including the Sahara.[5] Webb leased Script error: No such module "convert". of land for the development from the Park Cattle Co., a ranching company with large land holdings in the area.[6][7] Construction began in April 1964.[8] The property opened as the Sahara–Tahoe on June 30, 1965.[9][10] Developed at a cost of $25 million, the Sahara had a 14-story hotel with 350 rooms, and a 1,000-seat theater restaurant.[9]

The Sahara expanded with a second hotel tower completed in late 1968, with 224 rooms on 8 floors.[11][12]

Elvis Presley performed at the Sahara Tahoe from 1971 to 1976, and his suite is still available for guests to book.

High Sierra (1983–1990)

In 1983, the Sahara was given a Western theme and rebranded as the High Sierra Hotel/Casino.[13][14][15]

In 1985, it hosted the companies who defined the High Sierra Format, the basis for how computers access CD-ROMs today.

Horizon Lake Tahoe (1990–2014)

In 1990, the High Sierra was sold to Columbia Sussex, which re-branded it again as Horizon.

In 2005, Park Cattle Co. moved to evict Columbia Sussex from the premises, alleging that they had allowed the Horizon to fall into disrepair.[16][17] The ensuing lawsuit lasted until 2008, when Tropicana Entertainment (successor of Columbia Sussex's casino business) agreed to pay $165 million to Park Cattle and end the lease for the Horizon as early as 2011.[18][19]

In 2009, Tropicana Entertainment transferred the lease and the operating business of the Horizon back to an affiliate of Columbia Sussex.[20][21] Tropicana was undergoing a bankruptcy reorganization and hoped to focus its efforts on its neighboring MontBleu Casino.[20]

In 2014, NevaOne LLC, a Park Cattle affiliate, acquired the Horizon's operations.[22] NevaOne closed the Horizon for renovations on April 1, 2014, with plans to rebrand it as the Park Tahoe Casino Resort.[23][24] Warner Gaming, which operated several casinos, including the Hard Rock Las Vegas, was retained to manage the property.[22]

Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (2014–2023)

In July 2014, the Park family announced that the Horizon would be rebranded as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe, instead of the Park Tahoe.[25] The name was used under license from Brookfield Financial, which owned the rights to the Hard Rock brand in the Western United States.[26] The property reopened as the Hard Rock on January 28, 2015, after $60 million of renovations.[27]

Paragon Gaming acquired a majority stake in the property in 2016.[28][29]

In 2023, Fertitta Entertainment bought the property from Paragon, and announced that it would be rebranded as a Golden Nugget casino.[30]
