Top places to visit

1. Heavenly Ski Resort

Heavenly Mountain Resort lives up to its name; it is the place to be in Lake Tahoe in winter. This is the biggest ski resort in the area, with the highest peak, the longest vertical drop, some of the best terrain parks, and the best views. Thanks to its rocky trails and lakeside location, it offers plenty of activities in summer too. Daredevils, partygoers and nature lovers flock here year-round.

2. Peppermill

With so many amenities on site, there is very little reason to ever leave the Tuscan-themed Peppermill resort. Spend your days exercising in its state-of-the-art gym, swimming in one of its two pools and pampering yourself in the 33,000-square-foot (3,000-square-meter) spa. Then gamble, dine, drink and listen to live music in the evening.

5. National Bowling Stadium

The National Bowling Stadium opened in 1995 and is one of the largest bowling centers in the world. It’s much more than a bowling alley, with 78 lanes and stadium-style luxury seating for more than 1,000 spectators. During events and conferences, thousands of bowling fanatics congregate here from all over the world. Try to catch one of the tournaments here as the stadium isn’t open to the general public for bowling. Even if you’re not a bowling enthusiast, the sheer size of this place is amazing to behold.
