Thought of by many as a winter wonderland, Lake Tahoe is also an excellent “off-the-beaten-track” place to take a poker vacation. Most vacationers who head up to this area of the country do so for outdoor sports opportunities, especially in the colder months of the year. The people you’re most likely to see while there include an eclectic mix of young snowboarders and skiers, families who enjoy sledding and tobogganing, and retirees who enjoy watching winter magic from inside heated lounges with cups of hot tea and warm cocoa. In the summer, the lake’s main draws include excellent water sports opportunities and fishing.
But poker players like you know that in Lake Tahoe you don’t have to visit the lake itself to catch fish, as they’re biting all-year-round at the felt!
