 Tahoe from the air |
Highway 50 (at Emerald Bay Road) Lake Tahoe, NV 96151 United States +1 530 544 1221 http://www.laketahoeballoons.com/ |
If you wish to view Lake Tahoe from a different perspective, try the gondola of a hot air balloon. These F.A.A. certified and registered balloons are piloted by well-experienced commercial and instructor-rated aviators. Your leisurely three-hour flight begins at dawn; so be sure to bring a jacket. And don't forget your camera for the most spectacular pictures you will probably ever take in a lifetime. You can meet at site of departure, or a shuttle can pick you up at your hotel in South Lake Tahoe. Advance reservations are an absolute must. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The name of this casino pays homage to the crystal clear lake that has made this region so special. Abandoning the typical casino vibe, MontBleu has created a fresh, more serene feel to its gambling presence. The 40,000-square-foot gaming area invites players with many of the usual suspects: tables and slots. Flat screen TVs decorate The Zone sports book, for all the gamer's fancies. Nightlife options within the casino are copious, including the high-energy nightclub Blu, Opal Eurasion Cuisine & Ultra Lounge, and numerous live performances; this is a place you can take a group and satisfy everyone's mood. The accommodations are simply luxurious with amenities by Aveda and Bleu Cloud Beds. Onsen Spa, an Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa, is a perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes. The numerous dining options include Ciera Steak & Chophouse, del Soul, and a 24-hour diner. You may never have to leave the building, if it weren't for the infinite beauty outside.
