After the demolition of so many historic places like the 'American Sound Studio', the 'Aladdin' Hotel or lately the New Frontier Hotel, the former Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe now called the 'Horizon' will close its doors forever on June 5, 2009. At this time there is no specific date for a re-opening or a demolition. There were rumours for a while that it was planned to close the hotel in 2010 but we just got the sad news from Sue McCasland that they already started to remove the gambling tables and slots. Sue McCasland & Joseph A. Krein wrote a critically acclaimed, definitive book about the Lake Tahoe engagements of Elvis Presley. This release does not only feature the Elvis concerts but also gives you a lot of information about the 'Lake Tahoe' and the complete history of the Hotel itself. It is really sad to hear that this famous building in the Elvis History will soon be no longer there.
