Nestled among the Sierra Nevada's 10,000-foot peaks, North America's highest and largest alpine lake straddles two states and ranks as the country's second-deepest swimming hole. Indeed, the lake merits its indigenous Washoe name – Tahoe, or for "Lake of the Sky."
Because it's Las Vegas in the mountains – a playground for snow lovers and casino fans.
