Tuesday, after my workday was done, had to leave for Reno to run some calls because the normal tech for the area had the rear-end go out in his pickup. I called in some favors and was able to get DHL to stay open until I got there.
After recieving my boxes, I was off to Truckee, and then finally to South Lake Tahoe. Finishing up around 10:30 pm I decided to book a room at Harrah's. And what a room I got!
They decided to give me a suite for their lowest rate! Turned out to be the nicest room I've ever had.
This thing had a living room with tv, couch, coffee table, and table by the window on the 8th floor. The bedroom had a kingsize bed and tv. Then there was a walkin closet. There were also 2 bathrooms...each with a small tv. One had a shower and the other had a really nice jacussi.
As far as eating goes...at that time of night the only thing open was a 24 hour cafe in Harveys.
Coming into Tahoe on the East side I could see many great views of the sunset across the water. In the morning, after 4 hours sleep, my next call was in Tahoe City (the other side of the lake) so I drove up the entire West side of the lake yesterday morning. Then it was back to Reno to run calls and then drive home.
Got in around 10:30 last night.
As far as Nightlife in Tahoe...go there in the summer when the rates are cheaper and less tourists. A lot of rooms had vacancy signs up. Go when you can plan on staying for at least a couple of days as there are lot's of things to do and explore. Oh an bring plenty of film.
