Nightlife & Entertainment
Great places to eat, drink and play while you are waiting for the sun to come back.
The Crystal bay is the best casino on North Shore in my opinion. They have a 700+ capacity concert venue that draws some big acts (tickets often sell out!). There is also a smaller lounge area with a stage for late night live music with no cover. I've seen everything from Bluegrass bands to EDM DJ's play at that loungs.

Just the facts, the restaurant here is sad, pathetic even. A decent sized gaming floor attracts moderate numbers of players on the weekends, it's usually just locals on weekdays. They do have a really cool lounge with mirrored walls and crushed velvet bar stools.
Overall it definitely doesn't have the vibe that Crystal Bay does but it's worth stopping in if you are making the rounds.

The smallest and most humble of the North Shore Casinos. The people are friendly, the drinks are cold and the transactions are CASH ONLY! You were warned.

There are lots of great beaches on north shore, but this is one of the very few on the California side that allows you to enjoy an adult beverage while on the beach. Just be sure not to bring glass bottles. The giant granite sculpture of the lake is a well known photo-op too!
