South Lake Tahoe recommendations?
I was thinking about South Lake Tahoe at the end of March. I'm
knowledgeless about this area. Does anybody have any recommendations about places to stay, etc? Evidently, it's not a conventional ski town, being more spread out, etc. Specifically, I'd be interested in hotels within walking distance to reasonable restuaurants and bars, plus easy shuttle transport to Kirkwood and Heavenly. I'd like to avoid the extra expense/hassle of car rental. Dave |

Dave,
I just returned from a week in Stateline, NV/South Lake Tahoe, CA. I stayed at the Horizon Casino & Resort, just across the street from Caesar's and Harrah's. It is a convenient location for everything. All of the casinos are within one block of each other (on the Nevada side of town). The town is not as spread out as you may have heard. FREE shuttle busses run constantly to Heavenly and Kirkwood, as well as Sierra. In addition to the larger casinos/hotels, there are numerous "Ma & Pa" hotels/motels all throughout the area. All of the casinos have the usual buffet meals. Food is plentiful down the "strip", US 50, running the gamut from fast to sophisticated. By the way, the skiing was excellent at Heavenly.

I thought you _had_ to be gambling. |

I'd like to avoid the extra expense/hassle of car rental. Dave Fly into Reno. There is a shuttle from the airport to the casino/hotels in South Lake Tahoe. There are other buses from town to Heavenly (you can also ride the gondola from the middle of town to the ski area), Kirkwood (great open skiing, the Wall yum), Sierra (cruiser's paradise, lots of blues, trails cut through trees, makes you feel like home (east coast)), and even a bus to SquallyWood on the north side. I went this route two years ago and found it adequate. The bus to Squaw even played a movie for the ride. This year (both times) I rented a car so I could ski a few other places, like Alpine with LAL, which I will continue to return to. Other areas on the north side look very good and I'd like to try those too. Diamond Peak in Incline, Northstar, etc. VtSkier |

Then you are a total clueless loser. Wow, good thing I don't gamble,,, Good thing I'm not going there. If they're all like Harry over there I'd have a horrible time. Dave's right, who needs a car when hitching with your skis is soooooo easy ! |
