'''Stateline''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) on the southeastern shore of [[Lake Tahoe]] in [[Douglas County, Nevada|Douglas County]], [[Nevada]],  United States. It lies next to the border with [[California]] and is conurbated with [[South Lake Tahoe, California|South Lake Tahoe]]. The population was 595 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]]. The population swells considerably during the busy winter and summer seasons, due to the high number of hotel rooms and rental accommodations available.

==Attractions==
{{unsourced|section|date=January 2023}}
[[File:2015-10-28 14 37 08 View west along U.S. Route 50 about a quarter mile east of the California state line in Stateline, Nevada.jpg|thumb|left|Westbound view along [[U.S. Route 50 in Nevada|U.S. Route 50]] in central Stateline, October 2015]]
Stateline is home to four casino resorts: [[Bally's Lake Tahoe]] (formerly Caesars Tahoe and MontBleu), [[Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe]] (formerly Horizon and Hard Rock), [[Harrah's Lake Tahoe]], and [[Harveys Lake Tahoe]]. Until its closure on April 14, 2020, the [[Lakeside Inn (Stateline)|Lakeside Inn]] catered to locals and modest gamblers.

Many of the [[hotel]]s in the neighboring city of [[South Lake Tahoe, California]], organize buses to take residents to the [[casino]]s in Stateline. Stateline and South Lake Tahoe are effectively a single settlement, with the state line intersecting with [[U.S. Route 50 in Nevada|U.S. Route 50]] immediately after the Harrah's and Harvey's casinos. As commercial gambling establishments are illegal in California unless built on [[Indian reservation]]s, the casinos are extremely popular with California residents due to their strategic location right on the state line.

The [[Edgewood Tahoe Resort]] golf course lies along the Lake Tahoe shoreline. The [[Heavenly Mountain Resort]] ski area is on the California–Nevada border.

Another well-known feature of Stateline is [[Kingsbury Grade]], which runs up and over a mountain pass, rising from Lake Tahoe and dropping down to the Carson Valley on the other side. Most of Stateline's residential and seasonal accommodation, amenities and services are located on or near Kingsbury Grade. The route can be difficult in the winter months and [[snow chains]] are essential during this time. Larger vehicles are required to allow traffic to pass when five or more vehicles are queued behind them.

Another new attraction is the brand-new [[Tahoe Blue Event Center]], an arena that plays host to many events and is home to the [[Tahoe Knight Monsters]] hockey team of the [[East Coast Hockey League|ECHL]].

==Notable events==
* The [[Harvey's Resort Hotel bombing]] occurred on August 26–27, 1980. The event ended when the bomb was inadvertently detonated during an attempt to disarm it. As a result, the north side of the building was destroyed.
* On the afternoon of January 5, 1998, the [[Heavenly Ski Resort]] was the scene of the death of musician and politician [[Sonny Bono]]. While skiing alone, Bono struck a tree on "Orion", an intermediate slope high on Heavenly's Nevada side, in Stateline.
* The 2007 film ''[[Smokin' Aces]]'' was filmed (known at the time) at the [[Golden Nugget Lake Tahoe|Horizon]] and the [[Bally's Lake Tahoe|MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa]] (fictionalized in-film as the "Nomad") featuring many views of the shore from Aces' suite at the casino.

==History==
Most of the town and surrounding land has been maintained by the heirs of the historic [[Friday's Station]] of the [[Pony Express]]; it is leased to the casinos. The duplex naming of the community originated in part because of an [[Lake Tahoe#Interstate Boundary Dispute|interstate border dispute]], resulting from differences in several boundary surveys.<ref name="CA v.

The [[Stateline Country Club]] operated in the 1930s.
