Local fun and restaurants

Create your own magical moments and hone future Olympians at Squaw Valley, USA..

http://www.tahoecountry.com/oldtimetahoe/olympics.html this one is about the Olympics that were at Squaw Valley in 1960.

You can skate at the Olympic Ice Pavilion from noon to 4 daily, or try the indoor climbing wall….or maybe some wonderful moments by the fire with someone special. Upcoming holiday movies are great fun at our theaters…the popcorn is really good. For those who would love to see something VERY different, try watching for Tahoe Tessie…or own lake Nessie.

Our area features fantastic restaurants close by and as far away as two miles! Our favorite sushi place in the world is here (Hiro's) and from all the pics of stars, I’m guessing we are not alone. The Mexican restaurant (Las Panchitas) is all home made authentic food with the best beans, fajitas, taquitos etc and fastest service around. We have a new owner at Captain Jac’s who is cooking up some very fresh stylish fare or try a lakeside table for steak and seafood at Garwood's. And breakfasts are just as fantastic! Log Cabin Café has a bit of a wait and most people are repeats because they have amazing breakfasts…like Salmon Eggs Benedict with fresh home fries and fruit as well as fresh squeezed orange juice and very fresh coffee A lot of people like a little gaming and head up to our casinos three miles up the road…
Of course they do have the kind of casino meal specials everyone has come to expect but not get in Las Vegas…Tahoe is a foodie’s heaven and since so many people are active here, we all look forward to a little reward for our efforts. The casinos also have live music and comedy and we have live music at several places like Garwood’s…
