SAVE AT LAKE TAHOE SKI RESORTS
SAVE ON LAKE TAHOE LODGING
1. RENT A CONDO OR RENTAL HOUSE INSTEAD OF A HOTEL
ROOM. Lake Tahoe condo prices run slightly higher than hotel
rooms, but over a week’s stay you’ll save big on meal expenses. A
family of four can easily save $25 or more by eating breakfast at
the condo and even more at lunch.
2. BRING ALONG ANOTHER FAMILY TO SPLIT THE CONDO
COST. Three and four bedroom town homes can be rented for
approximately the same cost as a nice one-bedroom condo. Bring
along friends or another family to split the accommodation cost.
3. CONSIDER RENTING BY OWNER. Many Lake Tahoe condo
owners rent “by owner”, meaning you’ll save an average of 25%.
This is the normal percentage charged by rental management
companies to “rent” individual condos. Plus, many management
companies are now tacking on additional cleaning fees, extra
deposits, etc. The downside to renting by owner is that most do
not accept credit cards and may not be able to respond quickly to
maintenance issues. There are several reputable websites listing
condos for rent by owner, including www.vrbo.com and www.
greatrentals.com.
SAVE MONEY ON LAKE TAHOE RESTAURANTS
4. DINE OUT BETWEEN 5 P.M. AND 6 P.M.- Many Lake Tahoe
restaurants offer two-for-one specials between this time period.
Check the local paper and the free newspapers for special offers
and coupons.
5. EAT OUT FOR LUNCH INSTEAD OF DINNER. Most Lake Tahoe
restaurants offer lunch specials at half the price of their dinners.
Also be aware the wait to get into restaurants at night during the
busy season can be quite long.
6. CHOOSE A HOTEL OFFERING FREE BREAKFAST-If you stay in
a hotel, chose one that offers free breakfast so you can fill up
before hitting the slopes.
