Straddling the Nevada-California border, Lake Tahoe (12 mi/19 km wide and 22 mi/35 km long) is the highest alpine lake in the U.S. The surrounding area (usually referred to as "Tahoe") is a year-round resort destination with crystal-clear lake water, spectacularly beautiful mountain and lake scenery, historic sites, big-name entertainment, Vegas-style revues and, of course, gambling.
