Harvey's Top of the Wheel
Stateline, Nevada, United States
This was the restaurant on the top floor of Harvey's Wagon Wheel Hotel and Casino, also known as Harvey's Lake Tahoe. The Top of the Wheel featured a Polynesian lounge with decor by Eli Hedley, and had a logo "Sneaky Tiki." Mugs from Harvey's are still quite easy to come by.
The lower floors of the casino were heavily damaged by a bombing in 1980, part of a failed extortion attempt. The Top of the Wheel closed sometime in the early-to-mid 1980s. Harvey's Lake Tahoe has since rebuilt, but there is no tiki bar there today.

Harvey’s is now Caesar's Republic, but you can still make it to the top floor where they now have a steakhouse to see these framed posters from the Top of the Wheel. We also went to the Mountain Tower’s 11th and 12th floors to stand where the Sneaky Tiki had been, and it is under construction as of 7/2/26.
