Tahoe or Bust

Tons of snow (9 of 10 seasons)and and 8 destination ski resorts! Even if it's a bad snow day - always something to do! The casinos and their games, food, lounges, and shows abound. If not - there's even more in Reno.But remember - if you're looking for money for tomorrow's lift ticket, craps and blackjack have your most favorable odds. Getting there - most major airlines fly into Reno International. From there, if you stay in Reno, casino hotels have cheap rooms during the week, a FREE shuttle to and from the airport, and most of the major ski resorts operate a daily FREE shuttle to the resorts. If you plan to rent a vehicle, get a 4x4. Both Nevada and California strictly enforce chain controls where you will be forced to chain - up or turn around! Even with a 4x4, occasionally over-exuberant troopers may check to see if chains are being carried (the law). You can buy chains at most automotive stores, and if not used can be returned with a receipt for a refund. IF 4x4's ARE REQUIRED TO CHAIN UP - YOU SHOULDN'T BE HEADING TO THE MOUNTAINS ANYWAY!!! AND, REMEMBER - 4 WHEEL DRIVE DOESN'T MEAN 4 WHEEL STOP!!!
