One thing that stands out is a beautiful bronze statue that graces the front of the casino. Sadley the plaque is fading and not very readable. Yet, the statue is so detailed and stunning.
Chief Joseph was in 1840 and became the leader of the Nez Perce tribe, whose lands were in what is now Oregon and Washington in the western United States. In 1877 he led his tribe in a 1400-mile retreat from U.S. troops in 1877, which ended in the Battle of Bear Paw Mountains in Montana. Joseph is now especially remembered for the statement he made then: "From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph is often said to have died of a broken heart after spending the last two decades of his life on reservations. He died on 21 September 1904 of heart failure.

What makes this resort so special among all the others is, the Lady of the Lake is built right on the California and Nevada state line. If you venture into the Indian Room wonder over to the fireplace you will see the line that divides the room from the California and Nevada side. Take some time and wonder around the room and checkout all the historic photographs.
Called Lady of the Lake," was built originally by wealthy San Francisco businessman Robert P. Sherman in 1926 as a guesthouse for friends and clients. It was modeled after the log cabin in the Broadway play "LIGHTNIN," with Will Rogers. The Cal Neva Resort and Casino soon became a favorite of celebrities and socialites. Unfortunately it burned down on May 17, 1937, but was rebuilt in just over thirty days by Norman Biltz and Adler Larson, both Tahoe pioneers.
The Cal Neva Resort. Spa & Casino has seen many revamps and has had many owners such as "Pretty Boy," "Bones," and "Baby Face" during the 1940's and 1950's. Frank Sinatra was probably the most notable of its many owners from 1960 to 1963. Sinatra added the famous Celebrity Showroom and entertained celebrities from around the world. Such celebrities as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Juliet Prowse, and Marilyn Monroe sang in the Celebrity Showroom and the Indian Room.
