Affordable Comfort Steps from Heavenly Village

Modern convenience meets retro motel charm at Black Jack Inn, located right on the California/Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe. Just a short walk from Lake Tahoe’s most vibrant venues and casinos, this motel blends no-frills comfort with unbeatable access to nightlife and entertainment.

This smoke-free property offers all the basics you need—air-conditioned rooms with a microwave, fridge, and TV, plus a 24-hour front desk to keep your plans flexible.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a 3-minute walk to Heavenly Village and a 5-minute stroll to Stateline Casino makes this motel a prime pick for music lovers.

Plus, the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank
• Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list show at a nearby venue
• Couples planning a fun weekend of music and mountain air
• Fans needing a quiet, low-key space to recover after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want to spend more on tickets and less on lodging

Food and Drink Options

While Black Jack Inn itself doesn’t offer on-site dining, it’s just steps away from late-night eateries in Heavenly Village. Whether you’re craving pizza, pub grub, or something quick, you’ll find plenty of spots open after the encore. Start your next morning with breakfast at one of the walkable cafés a short stroll away—perfect after a late night.

Nightlife Options

• Stateline Casino is a five-minute walk, offering live entertainment, bars, and gaming
• Heavenly Village has bars, lounges, and seasonal live music just around the corner
• No on-site bar, but plenty of chill hangouts within walking distance for post-show drinks

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the amazing location—steps from the village, casinos, and the lake. Reviewers love the clean rooms and the friendly, helpful staff, especially for the price. It’s not fancy, but it’s exactly what many travelers need: a solid, affordable base near the action.

Areas for Improvement

This is a budget motel, so don’t expect luxury finishes or modern decor. Some guests mention the rooms could use minor updates, and the walls can be a bit thin—bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. But for the price and location, it's hard to beat.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in South Lake Tahoe and want to stay close without spending big, Black Jack Inn is a smart, walkable, no-frills choice that puts you right near all the music and nightlife.
