| Tahoe | |
| Lake Tahoe is a mecca for vacationers and outdoor enthusiasts. While the westside, north lake, and eastside (in Nevada) are quiet and laid back, South Lake Tahoe is definitely the \"big town\" on the lake. No longer the \"Honky Tonk\" of years past, older establishments are being replaced with upscale high rise hotels and condos, especially in the Heavenly Village area (to the chagrin of some, lamenting the loss of \"Old Tahoe\"). South Lake has the shopping, services, and amenities. There is a hospital, but most travel to Reno for elective procedures. Next to South Lake is Stateline NV, home to high rise hotels, casinos, and top name entertainment. Savvy retirees retire to the nearby Carson Valley NV, south of Reno, then cross the mountain passes to Lake Tahoe to take advantage of the recreational and entertainment opportunities there. | |

| Lake Tahoe in Placer County? | |
| Also of note Lake Tahoe is NOT entirely in Placer County, the Central and southern area is in El Dorado County. Response to readytoplay although somewhat dated, I just found this site as I\'m planning MY retirement. Tahoe has roughly 4 distinct and they all seem to differ in live style. North Shore more touristy and quieter than South Shore but VERY congested with traffic during the tourist season and holidays. East shore \"Nevada side\" a quiet area but very expensive. West Shore more \"Old Tahoe\" feel to it. Then there is South Shore which has many outdoor activities and the Casinos right at Stateline. The casinos and Big Money seem to drive what goes on in South Shore, sometimes referred to as the \"Coney Island of the High Sierras\". There is ALOT of history here which is quit interesting, but most folks don\'t even think about Tahoe\'s history, only the Scenery, Lake, Skiing and the Casinos which seem to draw patrons with less \"class\" then they did 40 years ago. People come up to South Shore to leave their brains and manners at home to see whatever they can get away with. | |
