Description :
Transcendent lake Tahoe landscapes and a fervent gambling economy were first conjoined in an odd mid-20th century partnership. After 1947 Tahoe's residents attempted to limit change brought by easier access. The resultant political alliance recognized a need for throttling development near southeastern Lake Tahoe. The outcome was an interdiction of gambling, with ensuing zoning ordinances that restricted heavy commercial and gambling establishments to the Stateline area.
