Lake Tahoe- both Nevada and Cali sides- July 2024

At over 100miles in circumference it is a task to try to see all of Lake Tahoe in one trip. However we managed to do pretty well.

We flew into Reno- a couple hour flight from Denver, then rented a car and drove an hour first to South Lake Tahoe right on the border of Nevada and Cali. The difference between South Lake Tahoe and where we ended up – Sugar Pines State Park area- is stark. Like different worlds. We spend the first few days staying in a casino (Bally’s) and going to a celebrity golf tournament across the street at Edgewood resort.


Breakfasts:

Driftwood café in the Marriott- about a 20min walk from Bally’s. Good diner food, fast service, patio seating- solid spot.

Basecamp- 7 min walk from Bally’s, great breakfast sandwiches, smoothies to go

Tahoe Bagel co- 15 min drive from Bally’s, really really good bagel sandwiches


Dinners in South Tahoe:

Wolf by Vanderpump- across the street in the Harvey’s casino. make a reservation, dress up, and prepare to drink some sugary cocktails and be wowed by both the people watching and extra sparkly décor. This place is a scene and I loved it. However sugar bombs and very pink- the cocktails were great and the food was actually decent (but extremely overpriced).

Café de sol- quick dinner in Bally’s – decent sweet potato fries and onion soup

Riva Grille- 30 min walk from Bally’s. Great views on the water, large patio, really good food and good drinks.

Drinks at Margaritaville

Drinks at Bally’s casino- cover band

 

Meals in Sunnyside:

The Dog and the Bear- very good pizzas, higher end cuisine, great atmosphere. Casual but elevated food

Where we met- coffee, muffins and bagel window- good on all

Tahoma Market and Deli- offer sandwiches, and grab and go things

Tahoe house bakery- decent spot for breakfast sandwiches, pastries and coffee

Cult burgers- amazing fries, huge burgers

 

Other stuff we did:

  • Walked to Sugar Pines state park

  • Hiked Tahoma to Sugar Pine Point state park loop- 45mins

  • Walked to the mansion for a swim- 40min walk

  • Speed boat ride from Sunnyside marina- 4 hours, saw so much, did some rock jumping and swam
