You will be staying at a fantastic bed-n-breakfast at Lake Tahoe. We suggest you arrive before check in, to allow you to walk around Stateline's casinos and shops. Don't worry about seeing all your first day. This trip includes plenty of time for gambling and shopping. Also, be on the look out for old classic cars; Hot August Nights begins today in Reno, and many events will be going on up at Lake Tahoe, too.read more

They not only prepare fine dining, but they have a spa on the property, so bring your towels with your appetite.
Description:
Nepheles restaurant took its name from the Greek Goddess of epicurean delights. There's nothing else Greek about the place though! It offers exclusive California style cuisine to its guests. Chef Mark Vassau uses fresh fish, meat and vegetables in all his preparations. Try Spinach Salad for starters, Grilled Orange Chili Rubbed Prawns for main course and ask for your favorite wine to go along with it. And if you happen to be at Nepheles for dinner, don't miss the Chef's Marketbasket - special dishes exclusively made for evening guests. The restaurant can also be booked for private functions and business meetings.
