Owner Jon Handlery got the idea to offer an evacuee discount last year during the lightning complex fires.



The package for evacuees also includes discounts at Macy's, Red and White Bay cruises and double-decker bus city tours.



Handlery says he wants evacuees to take their minds off the situation in Tahoe as best they can.



"It's really disheartening. and i thought, if I can do something and I thought if I could allow someone to possibly relax for a little bit then I've done my part," Handlery said.
