Caesar's Tahoe sorta doesn't spread any games.  They were recently purchased by 
sussex who owns the Horizon (called "the ho") across the street.

Harvey's spreads 3-6, 4-8, 15-30 (sometimes 10-20 1/2 kill) LHE.  Typically the 
15-30 games only goes on the weekends although through the summer on holidays 
it sometimes happens during the week.  Many days of the week and the weekend 
there will be a 3-5 (500 max) NLHE game (this game often runs 'opposite' the 
15-30 and will canabalize it).  On the weekends we sometimes get a 5-10 (no 
max) NLHE game.  And roughly 12 times a year (holidays, mostly saturdays) there 
is a 25-25 (sometimes 25-50, has been 100-200) NLHE game (2k min when 25-25).

The ho spread 2-6 spread limit holdem, some small NL game (2-3 200 max I 
think), and on the holidays and sunday afternoons we sometimes get a 2-3 
dealers choice PL game (see www.tahoepitchandroll.com for the most popular 
local game).

Outside of south lake:
Reno: lots of games at various casinos

Carson city: 3 places, Poker Palace (rarely a game), Fandango's (I really 
dislike this management but they do have nice facilities; have a fair number of 
small games), and a casino on East 50 (towardss the brothel's) whose name I 
forget and the one time I stopped in was spreading 1-2 LHE.

Minden: Carson Valley Inn, 2-4, 3-6, small tournaments, nice drive just over 
SR207 from South Lake.

North shore: Hyatt (whacked out limit crazy pineapple game sometimes, the rest 
of the time 3-6 and the like), Kelly's nugget (small blind NLHE, 2-6 spread 
limit he, maybe some spread limit stud?)

I live in Stateline, NV.  Say hi if you see me in the casino.  The staff and 
the players in both casinos know Michael Hunter, 'mph' or by the fact I wear 
tiedie a lot.

Have fun in Tahoe.
