Caesars Entertainment is transforming Harveys Lake Tahoe into Caesars Republic Hotel and Casino.
The official name will change July 1. It's a $160 million project that is completely renovating both hotel towers and the gaming floor.
The Remus Tower, formerly Mountain Tower, will have butler service in select suites, while the Romulus Tower, formerly Tahoe Tower, will also have fully remodeled rooms.
But Caesars Republic's Senior Vice President Karie Hill says she's particularly excited to see how the new hotel lobby turns out.
"We certainly want to respect everything Harveys has been," she said. "But, transforming into Caesars Republic when you walk in its just breathtaking and it really encompasses the entire brand with our iconic she-wolf, and it's just a beautiful entry, and it really sets the stage for everything you'll encounter as you walk through."
One of those encounters will include Cleo's Coffee and Cocktails, which is a cafe by day and upscale lounge by night.
Guests will also get to enjoy a whole new gaming experience.
"Our WSOP poker room has been unveiled, and we're really excited about bringing that online," Hall said. "We'll also have brand new high limit rooms, more table games, and new slots coming this summer."
She says they're also completely refreshing their casino, from lighting, to furniture, displays, and more.
People can still expect the same future events including their summer concert line up.
Some locals told us how they feel about the rebrand.
"To see more restaurants come in, which will be real exciting to the area. I think we could use a few more of those up here," said Sue Kottke. "But overall, I think it's a great idea."
"Well, I hope it's good for the economy and the folks that have been working here, and the employees and stuff and give them their opportunities," said Tony Gooding.
The resort will remain open during construction. Construction will pause at the end of June to allow easier access during the busy summer season but then will resume with finishing touches in the Fall.
