Insider tip: Borges Carriage Rides, a longtime Tahoe tour operator, stops at Caesars during the summer months, offering horse-drawn carriage tours of town and lakeshore. In the wintertime, passengers are bundled in warm blankets in handmade open sleighs for outings through snowy meadows.

Mountain biking, hiking, and boating are popular in the area during the summer, and the top-rated Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course is across the street. During the winter, guests use the Gondola at Heavenly, located two blocks from the hotel. Sleigh rides depart from a meadow next door, there’s ice skating down the street, and several outfitters offer area snowmobile tours.
