A few years ago I was at the Crystal Bay Club and ran into Howdy Herz and Larry Hollibaugh. The CBC's new owner, Roger Norman (an avid collector, by the way), took us on a tour of the bowels of the building, including where the Ta-Neva-Ho bowling alley used to be in the 1930s and '40s. It was fascinating.
There is a lot of amazing casino history on Tahoe's north shore, much of it from this place.
