Whois & Analysis for tahoesouth.com

South Lake Tahoe is the most populous city in El Dorado County, California, United States, in the Sierra Nevada.

As its name suggests, the city is located on the southern shore of Lake Tahoe.

Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons, falling between spring and autumn.

At the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice.

The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition and culture.

When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.

Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.

Tourism may be international, or within the traveller's country.

The World Tourism Organization defines tourism more generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception of tourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people "traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes".

Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar and temperate climates, between autumn and spring.

Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun.

Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather.

When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.

In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures.

The moment of winter solstice is when the sun's elevation with respect to the North or South Pole is at its most negative value (that is, the sun is at its farthest below the horizon as measured from the pole), meaning this day will have the shortest day and the longest night.

The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates outside the polar regions differ from the date of the winter solstice, however, and these depend on latitude, due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth's elliptical orbit (see earliest and latest sunrise and sunset).

A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis.

Facilities provided may range from a modest-quality mattress in a small room to large suites with bigger, higher-quality beds, a dresser, a fridge and other kitchen facilities, upholstered chairs, a flatscreen television and en-suite bathrooms.

Small, lower-priced hotels may offer only the most basic guest services and facilities.

Larger, higher-priced hotels may provide additional guest facilities such as a swimming pool, business centre (with computers, printers and other office equipment), childcare, conference and event facilities, tennis or basketball courts, gymnasium, restaurants, day spa and social function services.

Hotel rooms are usually numbered (or named in some smaller hotels and B&Bs) to allow guests to identify their room.

Some boutique, high-end hotels have custom decorated rooms.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement.

In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours.

In Japan, capsule hotels provide a tiny room suitable only for sleeping and shared bathroom facilities.
