Caesars Lake Tahoe hotel-casino gets a makeover

This past summer, the Columbia Sussex Corporation bought the Caesars Lake Tahoe hotel-casino for $45 million. This occurred when Las Vegas-based Harrah's Entertainment purchased Caesars Entertainment Inc. The hotel-casino will now be called the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa.

The Columbia Sussex company plans to renovate everything in the hotel and casino to give a French Alps sort of feel to them. Seven new restaurants and four nightclubs will be added. A luxurious spa will be built as well. The hotel and casino will not be close during the renovations.
