Whether traveling with friends, family, kids or adults, Lake Tahoe offers some of the most satisfying recreation for all ages, year-round. What can make or break a great vacation is the quality of lodging and finding the right fit for the right traveler. Consider your needs: Lake Tahoe travelers should ask themselves a series of questions before deciding on vacation accommodations, among those quandaries, "Continental breakfast, or a full kitchen to cook in;" "Housekeeping or laundry room;" "Valet parking or driveway;" "Close proximity to a casino, or alone in the woods?" The right answer depends on personal preferences, number of traveling companions and lifestyle demands. Click here to read the full story...

It's good to be a local if the locale is Reno Reno.com editor Megg Mueller writes Reno 360º, a blog for those who love Reno and aren't afraid to admit it. I haven't done this in this space before but I'm going to recommend a place that is giving locals a total steal. Grand Sierra Resort's Lodge Buffet is normally about $18 a person. For buffets, that's about standard, and if you're my boyfriend, you still get your money's worth; the man can eat. Especially seafood. But for the time being, GSR is offering locals the chance to chow for just $7.77. Even on weekends. All you have to do is swipe your local ID in one of the kiosks around the casino, and you get a coupon good for four people. That's it. No signing up for anything.
