This one looks at Frank Sinatra and the Cal-Neva Lodge & Casino, a unique Lake Tahoe property built directly on the California–Nevada border.
In the early 1960s, Sinatra wasn’t just performing in casinos — he was a casino owner. Under his involvement, Cal-Neva became a private, celebrity-focused resort known for entertainment, exclusivity, and its unusual state-line location.
This video focuses on documented history, covering Cal-Neva’s early years, Sinatra’s ownership, the resort’s role during Hollywood’s golden era, and the Nevada gaming regulations that ultimately ended Sinatra’s involvement with the property.
If you enjoy Nevada casino history, Lake Tahoe resorts, and stories from the classic era of gambling and entertainment, you’ll enjoy this one.
