Along with its stunning architecture, Emerald Bay offers trails leading to remarkable vista points and tranquil waterfalls.
Add to this the excitement of paddle boarding or kayaking in the glimmering Lake Tahoe, or hiking and biking on surrounding trails designed for all skill levels. The Tahoe Rim Trail and Mount Tallac Trail are particularly noteworthy draws, offering heart-stopping views from their high vantage points. After a day of thrill and excitement, the neon lights of the casinos beckon visitors to a vibrant nightlife full of entertainment and cuisine from all across the globe.
