Getting around Incline Village and nearby towns

Arriving by air and ground

The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino lists Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO) as the nearest major airport; the hotel notes a drive time of about 45–50 minutes. Some sources and travel listings give similar drive times or distances around 34–35 miles.

If you prefer not to rent a car, look for the North Lake Tahoe Express or similar shuttle services that serve the Reno airport and stop at the Hyatt; schedules and booking are separate from the hotel. Truckee Tahoe Airport (TKF) is a smaller regional option closer to the north shore for private or regional flights.

• Nearest major airport: Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO) — listed by the resort at roughly 34 miles / 45–50 minutes.
