Montage Resort

South Lake Tahoe, especially the Nevada side has really interesting architecture. It tries to recreate the Las Vegas experience within a half mile stretch. Tall hotel towers, bright lights, glitter and gamblers. Harvey’s Casino Resort is located right on the border with California so many people cross over from the quaint California side (just across the street) to try their luck. We stayed at Harvey’s in the middle of May ….

Our room had outstanding views. Lake Tahoe in all its glamour with surrounding forests and snow capped mountains. I found myself staring at this wonderland all the time … Hotel room was decent. Clean and modest. Moving through the hotel though did not give me a Lake Tahoe experience at all. Air inside the resort was very smoky. Everything had a gambling focus. With all this wonderful nature around us, we were completely isolated from it.

Staff was pleasant. Hotel was a bit dated though it seemed like they made the most of what they have. We did not try any restaurants here.

The highlight of the entire trip included being far away from any urban areas. Lake Tahoe is so beautiful and offers such variety of activities that once you are here the last thing I would recommend is to hang around your hotel and inhale cigarette smoke. On our next visit we will probably to stay on the California side in a smaller hotel/motel.

Breckenridge’s restaurants are almost as delicious as the mountains, no matter what your preference is, I guarantee you will find delicious food that will stimulate your taste buds. Let’s start with the American cuisine of Breckenridge.

If you enjoy a nice import micro or a fresh brewed beer with your delicious meal be sure to check out the Breckenridge brewery. The Breckenridge brewery was founded in 1990 and was instantly a local’s favorite. Take a seat in the dining room and enjoy the view of the 10-mile range while dining on excellent pub grub at a very reasonable price. They are open for both lunch and dinner so for the very best brews and grub make sure you stop by the Breckenridge Brewery. My personal favorite beer at the brewery is the avalanche; it is very smooth yet hoppy flavored ale.

Downstairs at Eric’s is the greatest sports bar in Breckenridge. Eric’s specializes in wings, pizza, beer, but they also offer many televisions with direct TV. This will allow you to watch your favorite local sporting event. Eric’s food is that of the bar variety with half pound burgers which will fill any skiers belly. Eric’s buffalo wings are the best in summit county and their pizza is outstanding. Their sandwiches and dinners are simply the best.

Eric’s also features Breckenridge’s finest game room, conveniently located in the lobby, with pinball and classic arcade games. The game room has the tendency to keep your children extremely busy and happy. Try Eric’s if you want good times, great food and entertainment for the whole family.

Rasta Pasta has been rated the number one restaurant in Breckenridge for the last three years. Rasta Pasta features the very best in pasta dishes ranging from ravioli to an amazing jerk chicken pasta dish. There pasta dishes use the most amazing spiced vegetables, meats, and seafood which form into an explosion of flavors in your mouth. All of there dinners come with garlic bread and a salad with a delicious sun dried vinaigrette dressing. Rasta Pasta’s atmosphere is a mix of reggae meets mountain town. My advice is to arrive around 4:30pm or 5:00pm at the latest to beat the mountain traffic.

Breckenridge ski area has four mountain dining lodges; you can either try one of the many sandwiches sub fusion offers, or try a huge burrito from burrito borders all at the Vista Haus. The Bergenhoff restaurant offers an incredible breakfast which will fill the heartiest appetite; they also have a great lunch menu with great burgers and sandwiches of all varieties.

If you want some of the best views of the mountain head to the 10-mile station for some buffalo chili or a delicious buffalo burger. The Maggie at the base of peak 9, is a nice place to be at and they offer spirits and a delicious lunch. Tiffany’s in the Beaver Run resort has live Apre ski entertainment.

The Hearthstone is the very finest of fine dining in Breckenridge with delicious wild game dishes, like elk chops, and fresh water trout. The heart stone offers the most romantic dinners in a victorian house setting, with some of the best culinary cuisine money can buy. So if you do not mind spending a little extra cash to get the very best dinning experience ever, try the Hearthstone.

We hope to see you soon!
