Lake Tahoe is one of the wonders of the world. It is the deepest lake in California, the second deepest in the United States, and the twelfth deepest lake in the world. Little wonder that it is such a popular vacation destination, whether under the burning blue summer skies or in the depths of winter when the ski resorts come into their own. And the relentless ker-ching of the slot machines in the casinos is a crowd-puller whatever the weather.

The largest town on the lake is South Lake Tahoe in California, which sprawls for several miles along the southern shore, right up to the border with Nevada. Across the state line is the town of Stateline, Nevada, which is where the more liberal gambling laws of Nevada kick in and the first casinos can be found. It's like a mini Las Vegas strip, with gambling 24/7, 365 days a year.
