Tahoe is drop dead gorgeous, has lots to do outside the casinos, and is
one of my favorite places to visit. Take the Tahoe Star for a tour of
Emerald Bay. Walk over to Heavenly Village and ride the gondola. Be sure to get
off at the first stop and enjoy the view. Gondola doesn't stop there on
the way down.
If staying at Harrahs, try for an Executive Room or nicer. The rooms
facing south have the better view. I've never stayed at Harveys but my mom
enjoyed her stay there. I've had better luck in Harrah's casino while my mom
did better at Harveys. We both preferred Friday's Station over 19 Kitchen.
UMMV as others prefer 19 Kitchen to Friday's Station.
Rent a car for a day and explore. Have an excellent yet casual lunch at
the restaurant located at Camp Richardson or an excellent and slightly more
formal lunch at the Lone Eagle Grill, Hyatt Regency, Incline Village. If
you rent a car in Reno, take the scenic route via the Old Mt. Rose Highway
to the lake. If you don't rent a car, the South Tahoe Express is an
efficient and affordable way to get to the south shore and back.
If you're looking for a vacation, go to Tahoe. If you want to play
machines 24/7, stay in Reno.
