Casinos on Lake Tahoe's North Shore
The Nevada side of the North Shore has only a few casinos, and none of them is a big resort floor. In Crystal Bay, right at the California line on Highway 28, Crystal Bay Casino and Jim Kelley's Nugget sit a few steps apart; one is known for its concerts, the other for its patio grill. A few miles east in Incline Village, the Grand Lodge is a small casino inside the Hyatt Regency.

How the ranking works. Venues are ordered by their Google rating, weighted by how many people left one: every rating is blended with a neutral 4.0 as if the venue had 200 more reviews at 4.0, so a 4.6 from thousands of reviews ranks above a 5.0 from a dozen. Sponsorship has no effect on the order. Ratings last checked October 2026.
