Sinatra’s old Cal Neva to suspend casino operations
By Dale Kasler, Sacramento Bee
Cal Neva, the legendary but faded Lake Tahoe resort once owned by Frank Sinatra, is closing its casino temporarily.
Canyon Capital Realty Advisors, the firm that has owned the Cal Neva since last spring, said Wednesday that the casino will close Wednesday. Canyon said it is in discussions with several licensed gambling operators, and the plan is to reopen the casino by year’s end.
The rest of the property, including restaurants and a showroom named for Sinatra, will remain open.
