Live Entertainment has returned to the Carson Valley Inn with a variety of bands and musicians performing in the Inn's all-new Cabaret Lounge. Flanked on one side by a modern new sports book, and the other side by a popular new casino bar, the Cabaret Lounge brings the entertainers up close to the audience as they provide music for listening or dancing.
According to Carson Valley Inn Entertainment Coordinator Stew Stewart, "We are committed to providing live entertainment seven-nights-a-week. We'll have a diverse mixture of acts and music, from talented singles and duos to full bands and tribute groups."
Entertainment hours at the Carson Valley Inn are 6-11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 p.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday. All CVI Cabaret Lounge entertainment is presented with no cover change and no drink minimum.
