[edit] History
The property opened as the Sahara Tahoe in 1965. Elvis Presley performed here from 1971-1976, and his suite is still available for guests to book. Also hosted the group of techies who defined the CD-ROM standard [1]. In 1983 The hotel was given a western theme and re-branded Del Webb's High Sierra Hotel. In 1990 it was sold to Columbia Sussex who re-branded the hotel again as the Horizon Casino. As of 2005 Columbia Sussex (leaseholder) is in a contract dispute with Park Cattle Company, the landowners of the Horizon Casino and the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa (formerly Caesars Tahoe), which Columbia Sussex acquired from Harrah's Entertainment.
Horizon Casino and the nearby MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa appeared as the Nomad Hotel in the 2007 film Smokin' Aces[1].
