Lake Tahoe stirs such fond memories from my childhood. The fools' gold in the lake, the crisp clean mountain air and bicycle rentals. Parasailing in Lake Tahoe is an experience that should be enjoyed by everyone - to view the depths of the lake and the height of the sierras while feeling the freedom of flying is beyond words. Lake Tahoe offers golf, skiing, casino gambling, a wide array of restaurants, dinner cruises on the lake, horseback riding, boating and so much more. Come see for yourself.

Restaurants:

Many casinos offer great prices on a wide variety of food choices. There are buffets at Caesar's and Harrah's casinos. Breakfast buffets are in most of the larger casinos at very reasonable prices.
