We've cut way back on our locals. I have one 15 to 20 minutes away and one an hour away. The one I really liked was 45 minutes away but has been closed for nearly a year because the tribe was on the "war path" and the feds said get your act together before you can open up. We are fortunate to be only a 1 hour flight from Las Vegas. It is non stop on Allegiant and is only $100 per person RT. I love Las Vegas the variety of casinos, food and shows are top notch. But my heart belongs to Tahoe (and Reno). Nice 4 hour ride, great comped rooms, lots of food choices etc. So easy to hop in the car and just take off.
