Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra enjoy an evening out at the Cal Neva. She spent her last weekend there before her death.
The resort at Cal Neva will remain open, but industry experts say it's going to be hard to find an operator for the casino because gambling business has fallen off so dramatically.
In this photo taken in the early 1980's, The Cal Neva Lodge in Crystal Bay, Nev., is seen. Before the Las Vegas Strip ruled the gambling world, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. helped make the Cal Neva Lodge one of Nevada's coolest casinos in the 1960s. Sinatra's old resort straddles the Nevada-California border on Lake Tahoe's north shore at Crystal Bay.
