Century-old casino once owned by Frank Sinatra reopening in Lake Tahoe after sitting empty for decades

Start spreading the news - a 100-year-old Lake Tahoe resort and casino, once owned by Frank Sinatra, is set to reopen after sitting empty for decades.

The Cal Neva Resort & Casino first opened in 1926 along the northern shore of Lake Tahoe, straddling the border between California and Nevada. Over the decades, it became one of the most iconic destinations in the American West, particularly during its mid-century heyday when it attracted a mix of Hollywood elites and political figures. During the 1960s, the resort thrived under Sinatra’s ownership, hosting stars like Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., along with future president John F. Kennedy.
