Probably can't go wrong with the Atlantis, I usually stay at the Grand Sierra...which has gone through quite a bit of remodeling. As far as some eating spots...these have been enjoyable:

Campo for lunch or dinner (decent food and atmosphere in the evening overlooking the river) http://www.viewmenu.com/campo/menu?ref=google ,

for Sunday brunch either Stonehouse Cafe http://www.stonehousecafereno.com/ or Squeeze Inn http://www.squeezein.com/

....if you're folks are fairly active any of the following are fun river rafting down the Truckee (fairly mellow class 2-3) http://www.whitewatertours.com/lake-tahoe.htm

ATV four wheeling tours around tahoe http://www.laketahoeadventures.com/touratv.html

...or just renting a boat for the day on Lake Tahoe http://www.tahoesports.com/tahoe-keys-boat-rentals....

enjoy your folks and have a great time!

Atlantis is good and has terrific restaurants, if you go to the Italian restaurant have the prawns entree, big as your hand, delicious. If steak house, have the bananas fosters table side.
Peppermill is super nice , best rooms in town.
Avoid downtown too many bums.

Enjoy

I agree with the Atlantis, not being downtown keeps some of the riff raff out. If your parents have any issues walking or getting around the Atlantis is certainly better.
