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.

Cal Neva Resort & Casino, previously known as the Calneva Resort and Cal-Neva Lodge, is a resort and casino straddling the border between Nevada and California on the shores of Lake Tahoe. The original building was constructed in 1926, and became famous when the national media picked up a story about actress Clara Bow cancelling checks she owed to the Cal-Neva worth $13,000 in 1930 ($227,700 today). After burning down in a fire in 1937, the structure was rebuilt in only 30 days. In 1960, entertainer Frank Sinatra purchased the resort with several others, including singer Dean Martin and Chicago mobster Sam Giancana. Under Sinatra, the Celebrity Room was added alongside a helipad and it opened year round. His ownership gradually increased over the following two years until he owned 50% outright. Giancana's attendance at the property first provoked a rift between Sinatra and share holder Hank Sanicola, and later resulted in Sinatra's gambling license being suspended by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Sinatra initially leased the property to Jack L. Warner and later in 1968 to a group of investors. It passed through the hands of a series of investment groups until 1976 when it was bought by Kirk Kerkorian. The property closed for renovations in 2013 and has not reopened since. Larry Ellison purchased the property out of bankruptcy in 2018; in 2023 it was sold to McWhinney, a real estate company in Denver, who announced plans to convert it into a hotel.

Brockway (formerly, Hot Springs) is an unincorporated community in Placer County, California. Brockway is located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe on State Line Point, adjacent to the Nevada state border. It lies at an elevation of 6266 feet (1910 m).The Brockway post office operated from 1901 to 1966. The name honors Nathaniel Brockway, uncle of the first postmaster.Brockway was one of the first places settled at Lake Tahoe by American immigrants to California after the first Trans-Continental Railroad, which passed 12 miles north of the lake, through Truckee. The first road built to transport tourists from the Truckee railstop to Lake Tahoe was over Brockway summit (Highway 267), and ended at the Brockway pier, where steamers could take visitors to other locations. Soon afterwards, a spur railroad was built to Tahoe City from Truckee, and it became the first real resort community at the lake. (The old railroad grade is now a bicycle path along the Truckee River.) Brockway has the only hot springs at Lake Tahoe, right at the shore. Old "grain grinding holes" (Washo: gámuŋ ) are visible in massive talus boulders along the shore. A "commodious" hotel was constructed around 1869, shortly after the completion of the road over Brockway Summit. Brockway was once located in two different states as surveyors establishing the California-Nevada border (which makes its turn to the north in the middle of the lake) mistakenly placed the line a half mile west of its proper location, placing Brockway in Nevada. It was eventually corrected. The Brockway community grew and numerous homes were built in the 1920s and 30s. In the 1930s and 40s, Brockway attracted Hollywood celebrities.

Mount Baldy is located in Washoe County, Nevada in the Mount Rose Wilderness. The summit is at 9,271 feet (2,826 m), and it is 3.1 miles (5.0 km) north-northwest of Kings Beach, California and 2.4 miles (3.9 km) northwest of Incline Village, Nevada, both of which are on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. The highest point in Placer County, California is on the west ridge at elevation of about 9044 feet (2756 m) and about 0.3 miles (0.48 km) west-southwest of the summit. So, Mount Baldy West Rim is right at the interstate border in Placer County (California), and Mount Baldy is in Washoe County in Nevada, and Mount Baldy is merely 0.3 miles from CA-Nevada border. To make things more confusing, Mount San Antonio, the highest point in Los Angeles County, California, is called Mount Baldy locally in that county.
