South Lake Tahoe
Spectacular Lake Tahoe is an incredible experience no matter what time of year you visit or what section of the lake you end up at. But, for amenities like unbeatable alpine skiing, impressive championship golf, non-stop events, world-class nightlife and good old-fashioned, Nevada-style gaming, South Lake Tahoe is the way to go.
The community of Stateline, is just that, a burb that straddles the Nevada-California border. While North Lake Tahoe is on more of a laid back, take it as it comes sort of pace, Stateline is full of action and in full Nevada-style swing. In fact, Lake Tahoe has enjoyed the distinction of being the nation’s number one booked ski destination on Orbitz.com, one of the biggest online travel websites in the world.
While most areas adjacent to Big Blue offer boundless recreational bliss, South Lake Tahoe in particular kicks it up a notch with more than 180 trails stretched across more than 8,800 skiable resort acres. During the summer months, take advantage of the panoramic views Tahoe is known for with a ride in the gondola, or take a leisurely stroll through the Heavenly Village. Located one-half block west of the California/Nevada Stateline, the Heavenly Gondola is a mere step from most lodging and puts the serenity of an alpine mountain within minutes of six casinos and nearly 5,000 hotel rooms.
