Matt & Andy at the Cal Neva Resort
Located smack dab on the California/Nevada state line at Lake Tahoe's north shore, the Cal Neva Resort has a fascinating history dating back to its original contruction in 1926. The original building burned to the ground in 1937 and was re-built in just over 30 days (you see what that gambling money can do?).
Frank Sinatra owned Cal Neva from 1965 to 1968, along with his associates "Wingy" and "Skinny." Hollywood followers were enamored with Sinatra and the "Rat Pack," an unforgettable fraternity that linked itself with the White House through Peter Lawford, brother-in-law to then president-elect John F. Kennedy. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Juliet Prowse and Marilyn Monroe (among others) "sang for their suppers" in the Celebrity Showroom and the Indian Room while politicians and Hollywood stars played at the tables and in the private cottages overlooking Lake Tahoe.
