The Lake Tahoe-Reno area is one of the cheapest places for hotel rooms, according to a survey by travel site Hotwire.com.

Orlando topped the list, with an average Hotwire price of $56 a night. This was followed by Tahoe-Reno at $69 a night, then Salt Lake City ($70), Atlanta ($75) and Dallas-Fort Worth ($78).

Hotwire estimates that about $32 billion is spent on birthday trips, $20 billion traveling for weddings/family and $11 billion on reunions.

Truckee Police Department has activated a feature on the Nixle public alerting system for the public to anonymously report crimes or incidents.

The public can either text to 888777 with the keyword TPDNIXLE, go to the police department website and click on the Nixle link, or call 855.847.7247.

The tip line should not replace 911 for in-progress emergencies or requests for law enforcement response. These types of incidents need to be handled immediately and there could be a delay with the tip line.

The tip line is a resource for ongoing issues like drug use or when someone wants to remain anonymous and has information on a past crime.

Meyers was once a bustling hub on the South Shore, with hotels and other businesses that catered to the early settlers in the area.

The last hotel in Meyers occupied the parcel where the CCC building is today.
