Harrah's Lake Tahoe

Las Vegas

Her 1963 tour with Liberace took Barbra up north to Harrah's Hotel in Lake Tahoe, Nevada for two weeks of shows. During the engagement, Barbra and Elliott Gould found time to get hitched in nearby Carson City. Barbra appeared at Harrah's between Sep. 9 - 22, 1963.

Harrahs Lake Tahoe, 1963
Once their engagement at The Riviera in Las Vegas had come to an end, Barbra and Liberace took their show on the road. They headed up to Lake Tahoe for two weeks of performances between September 9 and September 22, 1963 with Barbra still carrying the distinction of being the "extra added attraction."

Barbra's first week in Lake Tahoe was quite eventful. On Monday, September 9, she gave her first performance at Harrah's.  Four days later, on Friday the 13th, Barbra was off to Carson City for an intimate occasion, her marriage to Elliott Gould. Unless she was given the night off, the short 30 minute drive back to Lake Tahoe would have allowed Barbra plenty of time to make her 8:15 show.
