The Hot Box
History of MontBleu
Caesars Tahoe was opened in 1980 and was recently purchased from Caesars Entertainment in 2005 by the Columbia Sussex Corporation. The property has been completely renovated and it looks and feels good. Columbia Sussex owns Horizon (formerly the Sahara Tahoe) right over highway 50 as well as Tropicana Las Vegas and Tropicana Atlantic City.
The new Montbleu is a fabulous place in Lake Tahoe and has really raised the bar in town. We can't wait to see what they've got planned for Horizon (soon to be Tropicana Tahoe) and The Tropicana in Las Vegas.
How are the rooms at MontBleu?
Really nice rooms, which all have (except lowest floors) a view of the Sierra Nevada mountains and/or beautiful Lake Tahoe. Prices range from $90 during the spring, fall and summer to close to $200 during winter months. If you wish to head out during winter, it's best to book as early as possible. Once the snow hits, prepare for room rate sticker shock.

Exclusive Tips for MontBleu:
Montbleu has continued Caesars Tahoe's ability to booking top tier entertainment - even if the name isn't HOT right now, they're still kick ass. At a recent view of the Montbleu entertainment schedule had bomb reggae shows, Howie Mandel and the Killers.
Montbleu has two new nightclubs to keep you bumpin the bottle service till the dawn. blu features hot dj's, bottle service and dollar drinks on Mondays. blu opens at 10pm every night. Opal ultralounge also has great drink specials, bottle service and a Hookah room. How about that eh? Opal is open Wed-Sun at 8pm.
Montbleu is certainly better now than when it was languishing as Caesars, but don't be fooled by their fancy website. The rooms and the hotel tower still - years later - have Caesars decor... the only thing they've upgraded is the mattresses. Same salmon pink marble bathrooms, rusty faucets and the toilet that is 10 inches from the ground. It's not a dump, it's just not as fancy as their marketing team makes it out to be.
