5. Historic Sightseeing: The Lake Tahoe area has plenty of historic landmarks to check out. Anything from museums to log cabins and a Scandinavian castle, there is plenty to see in Tahoe. For more info check out Tahoes Best Sightseeing.
6. Bicycle Riding: Just as fun as hiking but you can cover more ground in a shorter time span which allows for viewing of more Tahoe scenery. For a family tour check out the Tahoe Adventure Company.
7. Casinos: Cross over from California to the Nevada side and you are practically in Vegas. From high end luxury casinos with full buffets to low scale casinos where you might hope the slots are a little looser. Don’t forget the live entertainment, dining, and shopping that come along with casinos. The MontBleu Casinois a big hit in the Stateline area.
