The City of South Lake Tahoe is on the south end of Lake Tahoe, and is on the California side of the lake. It is located right adjoining to Stateline which is on the Nevada side of the lake where there are a bunch of Casino's.
If you live in Truckee, or are coming to Truckee for a vacation, it is not super close, which is why I always tend to stay on the North Lake Tahoe area. If you have the time, one of my favorite things to do is to take a day and drive around Lake Tahoe. It takes about 2 hours if you just drive around the lake, but you can make a day of it if you spend some time stopping at some of the Lake Tahoe Beaches or Towns along the way. You can check out my Lake Tahoe Map page, where I'll ultimately have links to all of the Cities and Towns around the Lake as well as all of the State Parks.
I usually drive around the lake at least once a month in nice weather, usually starting in Tahoe City and either going through the north side of town through Kings Beach and Incline Village and down the east side, or I'll start in Tahoe City and just head down the West side first. (I like this direction best!) Either way, I always plan on stopping somewhere for lunch in South Lake Tahoe.
There are too many events for me to list them all, but I will list a few of the Annual Special Events that happen in South Lake Tahoe:
