Greetings from your Tahoe Online Concierge! The Dog Days of Summer are on the wane and our legendary Labor Day Lake Tahoe weekend celebration is just around the corner.

Speaking of adventures, we heard that our Tahoe Casinos have had a record number of jackpot winners recently. So your late summer visit to America's largest alpine lake just might be your best getaway ever ;-) Read on . . .

    TAHOE'S SUPER STAR SUMMER - ROCKS ON
    .
    This year's Harrah's / Harveys Outdoor Concert Series has been a smashing success. And there's more to come. Heavy rockers - Third Eye Blind hit the stage this weekend. Those legends of Southern Rock, ZZ Top, will tear it up on Aug. 23rd, and then - Ringo Starr with his All Starr Band kick off Labor Day Weekend on Aug. 29th. It doesn't get any better than that - unless, we add more to the mix. Post Labor Day - don't miss The Beach Boys live at Harrah's.

    At Caesars Tahoe, check out one of our absolute favorite Bay Area rockers, Bozz Scaggs - followed by the return of the Go-Gos. And you'll laugh it up with the Improv All Stars on Aug. 22nd & 23rd. Then, shake your booty over Labor Day with KC & the Sunshine Band. And the sexy and talented Macy Gray is here in early Sept.

    It's all there on VirtualTahoe.com. For dates, prices, photos, website links and to purchase tickets for this summer's exciting superstar lineup, log on to our entertainment page on VirtualTahoe.com!

    INSIDER TIPS: VAHALLA, BOATHOUSE THEATER AT TALLAC
    .
    Last issue we passed on some tips for great dining and some key Tahoe attractions. Now we'll share a few details on one of South Shore's best secrets - the Tallac Historic Site, home to Valhalla, its Summer Music & Arts Festival and the picturesque Boathouse Theater.

    This restored historic complex of estates is located on the southwest end of Tahoe's shoreline, on the way to Emerald Bay and adjacent to Camp Richardson Resort & Marina. Rent bikes and take the trails to Valhalla or drive. You'll see a bit of what Lake Tahoe was like in the 19th century. And then there's the outdoor music! This Sat. on the Valhalla lawn, don't miss their annual live Reggae & Brewfest. On Sun. catch the Wine Tasting and Jazz event with Jazz Fusion Band, Faldo's Toy. Next, it's the !Akimbo! world band, the Celtic Music of Golden Bough, the Third Degree Blues Band followed by the Blues Box Bayou Band and Miss Freida & the Cajun Fusiliers.

    And there's indoor theater! The Boathouse Theater is the best little playhouse this side of Cape Cod. The Valhalla Players and our own Tahoe Community College have presented entertaining shows throughout the summer. On Aug. 30th, the Tahoe Improv Players return for their summer finale. Then catch the Valhalla Players in Boys Next Door, opening Sept. 5th. for 2 weekends.
