From the shuttle’s terminus in Stateline, guests can catch a BlueGo bus to the resort or hire a taxi. Car rentals are available online. Winter driving conditions can be hazardous with chain laws often in effect, making the shuttles a popular option.

Getting around: The beach is across the street from the hotel, and guests often walk there and to nearby restaurants. Adjacent to the hotel is a BlueGo bus stop. For under $5 per person, BlueGo offers both regular bus routes and on-call, point-to-point shuttle service. Fee subject to change without notice. Arrangements for a BlueGo shuttle pick-up should be made several hours or even a day in advance. Taxis are available at any hour. Also, the nearby ski areas of Heavenly and Sierra Tahoe offer complimentary skier shuttles that pick up at the adjacent BlueGo stop. Alternative transportation makes renting a car necessary only for travel to other areas around Lake Tahoe. During the summer season bikes are popular, and the area offers numerous bike paths.
