Caesars agreed to spend $40 million to complete construction of the hotel portion of the property,[3] which was renamed as Caesars Tahoe Palace[4] and later simply Caesars Tahoe. In line with the Caesars name, the property was remodeled with a Roman theme.

Caesers Tahoe was known for it's top entertainment offerings, and over the years played host to many famous artists, including Dean Martin, Cher, Mac Davis, Jimmy Buffett, Glen Campbell, and Tony Bennett. In its later years, the Caeser's showroom included appearances by comedians including George Carlin, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld, Gallagher, Rosie O'Donnell, and many other well known headlining comedians. Celebrities such as Michael Jordan, Randy Quaid, Kenny Rogers and others would play games in the Caesers Tahoe casino. Caesars was also the host hotel and title sponsor of the American Century Championship golf games at nearby Edgewood Golf Course every July, until 2004. After Caesars sold the hotel in 2005, the title sponsorship and host switched to Harrah's/Harveys Casinos. Also, in its earlier years, Caesars Tahoe was home to title fights for championship boxing events.
