I think this is the correct answer. I've never been there, just talked to people that have, so take what I say with a grain of salt. From the pictures, I'd recommend just chillaxin at Tahoe.

I think it's fair to say that Indians who live on reservations in states where gambling is legal are a little pissed off and best avoided.

I had that bullshit happen to me in Colorado.
