The Carson Valley Inn is a smaller venue as expected for a smaller town. But they do a great job of having bigger name talent perform there. They also have more than 1 food venue to choose from, making the choice to visit this historic town of Minden an easy choice. The Inn's proximity to Tahoe, Carson, Genoa or Reno can make this a great alternative to staying at some of the larger towns' casino hotels, especially if a slower-paced atmosphere is more to your liking. I don't know if I would necessarily recommend this venue in the winter for a Tahoe ski trip, as you would have to navigate one of 2 mountain road passes to get into Tahoe. But other times of the year make Minden a fantastic alternative to stay and take day trips to other towns.
