Stateline is home to four casino resorts:Bally's Lake Tahoe (formerly Caesars Tahoe and MontBleu),Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe (formerly Harveys),Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe (formerly Horizon and Hard Rock), andHarrah's Lake Tahoe. Until its closure on April 14, 2020, theLakeside Inn catered to locals and modest gamblers.
Many of thehotels in the neighboring city ofSouth Lake Tahoe, California, organize buses to take residents to thecasinos in Stateline. Stateline and South Lake Tahoe are effectively a single settlement, with the state line intersecting withU.S. Route 50 immediately after the Caesars Republic and Harrah's casinos. As commercial gambling establishments are illegal in California unless built onIndian reservations, the casinos are extremely popular with California residents due to their strategic location right on the state line.
TheEdgewood Tahoe Resort golf course lies along the Lake Tahoe shoreline. TheHeavenly Mountain Resort ski area is on the California–Nevada border.
Another well-known feature of Stateline isKingsbury Grade, which runs up and over a mountain pass, rising from Lake Tahoe and dropping down to the Carson Valley on the other side. Most of Stateline's residential and seasonal accommodation, amenities and services are located on or near Kingsbury Grade. The route can be difficult in the winter months andsnow chains are essential during this time. Larger vehicles are required to allow traffic to pass when five or more vehicles are queued behind them.
Another new attraction is the brand-newTahoe Blue Event Center, an arena that plays host to many events and is home to theTahoe Knight Monsters hockey team of theECHL.
Most of the town and surrounding land has been maintained by the heirs of the historicFriday's Station of thePony Express; it is leased to the casinos. The duplex naming of the community originated in part because of aninterstate border dispute, resulting from differences in several boundary surveys.[3][4][5] The erroneous 1872 Von Schmidt survey of the California–Nevada boundary found the stateline crossingU.S. 50 on the west edge of present-dayApplebee's, and the east edge of the Ashley Marcus Gallery in Tahoe Crescent V Shopping Center in California.[5][4] The community ofStateline, California, contended to be in Nevada, emerged just east to benefit from Nevada law—including tax-free status and later gambling which was legalized in 1931. However, an 1893 United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (C.G.S.) placed the border several thousand feet east of 1872 Von Schmidt line, creating a discrepancy which left the community in legal jeopardy. TheStateline Country Club operated in the 1930s. By the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, gambling development moved east across the 1893C.G.S. line to a new adjacent community of Edgewood, Nevada.[6][7] After a 1980US Supreme Court ruling,[3] the east-migrated gambling community of Edgewood formally regained its name Stateline, this time in NV.; theCalifornia portion which had been contested by Nevada was dissolved into the city of South Lake Tahoe.[5][8][9] The currently accepted interstate border is marked by the 1893US CGSFederal Survey Monuments No. 1,[10][11][5] No. 2,[12][5] and No. 3.[13][5]
