HARRAH'S turned the building it into their Youth Recreation Center throughout the 60s'. You would be signed in by an adult and picked up by the same adult. I loved it and often spent 4 to 5 hours a night playing pinball with ashtrays under the 2 front legs. Even as a 13-year old I thought it was very classy for their youth center. It had a dance floor with cocktail tables, music from a jukebox, (playing all the 50s' and 60's hits), a full bar (severing sodas, juice & snacks), two rows with 20 pinball machines each, and a large theater continually showing youth movies and cartoons. It was not until many years later I learned it used to be a GAMBLING CASINO. It was a teenager's dream. That means I can say "I was in the Tahoe Plaza & Tahoe Palace building, had a drink at the bar, saw shows in their showroom, and danced with cute girls on their dance floor. I do LoVe Lake Tahoe. Having BIG fun with great memories, Steve.
