The Spotlight on Black Jack Inn

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. Whether you're here for a quick concert getaway or a low-key weekend with friends, Black Jack Inn keeps things simple and convenient.

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. You won’t need a car to get to the show, and post-concert eats or drinks are right nearby. The motel’s location offers easy late-night access to South Lake Tahoe’s entertainment strip while still giving you a quiet, no-fuss place to crash. 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.

Quality lodging in its price...

Liked: Convenient, surprisingly quiet room considering location, helpful staff, self service Keurig coffee in the reception area (in the morning only), good bed, excellent shower, plenty of outlets, luggage rack (not always found in more pricey hotels), exit from parking requires some extra maneuvers.
Disliked: Room size, watery shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, exit from parking.

Good value for money.

Liked: The location was great, plenty if restaurants and close to the lake (you need to pay to get to the beach). The bed was comfortable. There was coffee and tea in the morning, and free parking next to the room. Good value for money.The motel is near the road but it was quiet.
Disliked: The toilet was dirty when we got there. There was no room for the bathroom, only a slide door.
