GOOD TO KNOW
BEFORE YOU GO.
THE SKITOPIA EXPERIENCE
What is included in the SKITOPIA package?
Your SKITOPIA package is more than a hotel stay. Enjoy three nights at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe (February 25–28, 2027) plus a curated lineup of day and night events designed to make the entire weekend unforgettable. Your experience includes our Welcome Reception with an open bar, the signature Lake Tahoe Boat Party with round-trip transportation, daily themed parties, the SKITOPIA Pool Party, R&B Bingo and Game Night, and more opportunities to connect throughout the weekend. You’ll also have access to exclusive group discounts on skiing, snowboarding, gondola access, airport transportation, and select excursions. Food and beverages are included at designated events as noted in the itinerary. It’s the hotel, the parties, the people, and the full Tahoe experience in one package.
What is not included in the package?
Airfare, airport transfers, skiing, snowboarding, gondola access, equipment rentals, lessons, and optional excursions are not included. Guests are also responsible for meals and beverages outside designated events, personal expenses, and travel insurance.
Do I need to ski or snowboard to attend SKITOPIA?
Absolutely not! SKITOPIA is more than a ski trip. Enjoy themed parties, entertainment, the casino, sightseeing, and unforgettable social experiences without ever hitting the slopes. Ski if you want. The mountain is just the beginning.
How much are skiing, snowboarding, and tubing packages?
SKITOPIA guests receive exclusive discounted pricing at Heavenly Mountain Resort for skiing, snowboarding, gondola access, and eligible mountain activities. Pricing varies by activity, equipment needs, and number of days. Discounted rates and booking details will be shared with registered guests.
Can I attend SKITOPIA events without booking a hotel package?
SKITOPIA is a complete, curated weekend experience. We do not offer party-only packages or individual event tickets. Access to SKITOPIA events is reserved exclusively for guests with an official SKITOPIA package.
TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATIONS
What airport should I fly into?
Fly into Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), approximately 60–90 minutes from Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe, depending on weather and traffic. Plan to arrive early enough to check in before Thursday’s Welcome Reception at 6 PM.
What transportation options are available from Reno-Tahoe International Airport?
Guests can choose from shared shuttles, private transfers, rental cars, and rideshare services. Shared airport shuttles are a popular, economical option, with exclusive discounted rates available to SKITOPIA guests. Booking details will be shared with registered guests. Airport transportation is not included in the package.
Do I need a rental car during SKITOPIA?
No! Caesars Republic is within walking distance of Heavenly Village, the gondola, restaurants, and entertainment. Most SKITOPIA events are held at or near the hotel, and round-trip transportation to our signature boat party is included.
Can I extend my hotel stay before or after SKITOPIA?
Guests interested in arriving early or extending their stay can contact events@d9otravel.com. Additional nights are subject to availability and applicable hotel rates.
What should I know about February weather in Lake Tahoe?
February is winter in Lake Tahoe, with cold temperatures and possible significant snowfall. Bring warm layers, a winter coat, waterproof footwear, gloves, and winter accessories. Outdoor activities and schedules may be adjusted, delayed, or canceled due to weather or conditions beyond our control. Any vendor refunds or credits are subject to the applicable terms.
