Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort - The city that never
sleeps is the place to visit if you're looking for
skiing and fun. Snow capped mountains frame a
crystal blue lake and valleys that make up South
Lake Tahoe and its Nevada neighbor, Stateline. South
Lake Tahoe offers the skiing--Stateline offers
"never sleeping".
Rising 3,000 feet
above Lake Tahoe, Heavenly’s scenic beauty is
enhanced by over $250 million of mountain and
village improvements – a gondola, new resort hotels,
new lifts, better snowmaking, improved grooming,
extensive lodge renovations, a world-class ski
school facility, and a family adventure center that
lets non-skiers join the fun! A subsidiary of Vail
Resorts, Inc., Heavenly has enjoyed an infusion of
interest and improvements that allow it to not only
compete with other ski resorts, but offer something
more with the Nevada border literally at its
doorstep. Few ski resorts in the US offer casino
gambling, late night shows and entertainment that
make this destination an “Open 24 Hours” attraction.
From ‘round-the-clock poker tournaments to all-night
dance clubs and the only stateside Cabo Wabo, you've
got to keep moving.
