Every year, tens of thousands of visitors come to South Lake Tahoe to celebrate New Years. The influx of visitors even tops our 4th of July goers! The main event for New Years Eve would have to be the downtown casino area which is on the California/Nevada state line. With thousands of people celebrating in the streets, it takes on the appearance of a miniature Times Square, complete with road closures to accommodate all of the celebrators. After midnight hits, they retreat into the casinos to party the night away in the clubs and lounges. Although the casino strip New Years celebration is exciting and an experience not to forget, there can be the odd incidents of flying debris, fights and arrests (see video below). It is definitely not an activity I would recommend for families! Aside from the casino area, there are a lot of other events taking place all over town, some for all ages.
Here are some events taking place on December 31:
Celebrate New Year’s Eve Vex Style inside Harrah’s Lake Tahoe

The resort will be opening for the 2010-2011 winter season on Friday, November 19, 2010. With the West Coast’s largest snowmaking system, their snowmakers have been working around the clock (with the aid of some recent natural snow) to get the slopes ready; it looks like opening day will be quite the success! They plan to have the Gondola and Tamarack Express operating which will provide access to Upper CA Trail and Tamarack Return for skiing and riding. They also plan to have a few terrain features set up on CA Trail for those with jibbing fever! For the kiddos, they intend to have the Magic Carpet available for lessons and at the Tubing Hill Area, they intend to have hike-accessed Adult Ski School and Saucer Use available.
