Ski Resorts Where Lifts Go Directly to Hotel

I am looking for (affordable) ski resorts in the Western US or Canada that
meet these criteria:

- The resort's ski lifts go directly to the hotel or condos (or within 100
yards)

- There are shops and restaurants within walking distance of lodging. A
place where non-skiiers could have something to do would be great.

- A group of 10 could get by on around $200/day (so no $700/night rooms
unless its a suite with lots of separate rooms).

Basically we are trying to avoid the hassle of needing to rent and drive
cars....

What locations / resorts come close to these requirements for a February
trip?

Just to clarify this, I meant a group of 10 could get by on $200/day *per
person*.

Glad we clear that up.

That describes a lot of ski resorts. The one I am most familiar with
is Squaw Mountain near Lake Tahoe in Calif. You do have to drive
there, unless you want to take a longish shuttle ride from Sacramento
or Reno airport to the resort.

Actually that is Squaw Valley. $200/ person may do it, but would be close.
Kirkwood you could rent a condo or two. Heavenly Valley at South Shore
Tahoe. reasonable motels in the area, and if you get lucky at the casinos
you could make money. :) A package to Whistler in Canada, or Steam Boat
Springs in Colorado both meet the criteria.

Maybe Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe? Not my cup of beer, but maybe it's
your. Free shuttle from Reno airport to Casinos; cheap rooms in the
Casinos; lots to do for non-skiers; lift right to Casinos; big mountain.

Most of the other places with slope-side lodging and non-skier
entertainment are phony, more akin to carnivals than real living towns
- Vail and Park City (and most of the Colorado and Utah places) are
quintessential examples.

Which Casinos at South Lake Tahoe are directly connected to the lifts?

Harrah's is right next door and the Embassy Suites are even closer. Maybe
200 yards.
