MontBleu Resort Casino and Spa, South Lake Tahoe, Ca.
At the MontBleu Resort and Casino and Spa, you’re going to enjoy the best that civilization has to offer amidst the incomparable beauty of the surrounding Lake Tahoe area! Every comfort, luxury, and service awaits your pleasure here in this towering, magnificent resort.
Enjoy your pick from 437 luxurious hotel rooms; many of these rooms 
have a spectacular view of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. Some of the larger suites are designed for entertaining and feature a living area with big screen TV, dining and wetbar. We found everything we could possibly need to enjoy Lake Tahoe at the MontBleu!
Now let’s talk about entertainment! The MontBleu has some of the biggest names in show business. My photographer and myself went to see ‘The Straits’, formerly the Dire Straits. What a fabulous showroom that took my breath away when I walked in. Escorted by the professional staff to my table, we were treated like Kings! Needless to say, the show that night, received a standing ovation. And, being a Recording Artist in my previous years, I appreciated the superb sound system and stage lighting that made the whole experience unforgettable! Other names that have appeared in this historical showroom are: America, Three Dog Night, Sinbad, Ray Charles, Richard Marx, Dean Martin, Cher, Tony Bennett, and at times, on the casino floor, you could have bumped into Michael Jordan, Randy Quade and Kenny Rogers.
The next night, we went to ‘Ciera Steak & Chophouse’, which is in the MontBleu and is Lake 
Tahoe’s only Four Diamond Restaurant. It has won the 4 Diamond Award 2011-2014. When we entered the restaurant, the hostess took us to a private booth, all in red leather, that has drapes for you to close for your privacy! The service was impeccable. Our waiter Chris, has been with the restaurant since 1981. The Executive Chef, (shown here in the picture), has made all the difference in the cuisine. The food is exquisite in taste and will appeal to all of your taste buds. We started with a ‘lemon drop martini‘ and my photographer had a ‘pomegranate martini‘. For starters, we had ‘shrimp scampi‘, 4 large pieces of shrimp with a sauce that melts in your mouth. Also, a sample of the ‘lobster bisque’ soup, made with aged sherry, lobster medallion, and a touch of cognac. For dinner, we had the ‘Cowboy Rib-eye’ a 24oz. certified angus beef, and the ‘New Zealand Rack of Lamb’, pistachio 
encrusted, served with 
pomegranate balsamic demi-glace sauce. The side dishes we sampled; creamed of fresh sauteed spinach, white truffle mac and cheese, and white cheddar scalloped potatoes, of which you could split the side orders. Then to top off this fabulous meal, we had a sample of their ‘Pina Colada Cheese cake’ and ‘Chocolate lava cake’, which was superb!
Don’t forget the amazing, Weekend Buffet at the MontBleu. On Fridays, it’s the ‘Seafood Buffet‘, all you can eat shrimp, fish, seafood of all kinds,crab for $19.99 and Saturday, ‘Prime Rib Buffet’ for the same price. It opens from 5p.m. – 9p.m.
We highly recommend staying at the MontBleu whether its Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall. You can’t go wrong with the MontBleu Resort, whether it’s fine dining, entertainment or just a suite with a gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe. For more information go to: www.montbleuresort.com.
