Nevada:
The Silver State - is desert, and the desert can induce strange visions. Of course, people did not create Nevada`s beautiful desert landscapes, which can be even more wondrous than a city of flashing neon. Nor did they manufacture the pyramid at Pyramid Lake or the hundreds of remote mountains that pepper the state. With both isolated wilderness and bustling casino towns, Nevada is a place where you can get back to basics and also relish some of the guiltiest pleasures mankind can dream up. And you can do them both on the same vacation. There is no shortage of fun and exciting things to do in Nevada. Whether it is enjoying a Celine Dion performance or sailing at Lake Tahoe or Lake Mead, Nevada is a playground for visitors. Visitors to Nevada are surprised when they discover how much there is to do and see in the state.  Although the gaming tables are the prime attraction in Las Vegas, there are numerous other attractions in southern Nevada. Nearby Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are two sights that shouldn`t be missed. Less than an hour`s drive from Las Vegas are Mount Charleston and the Toiyabe National Forest, where visitors may hunt, camp, hike, ski, and climb mountains. In northern Nevada, Reno is the center for gambling, and it carries on the rich tradition of a wide-open western town. It is also the home of the Nevada State Historical Museum, the William F. Harrah Foundation National Automobile Museum, the Wilbur D. May Museum, and the Mackay School of Mines Museum. In nearby Carson City, you may visit the State Museum, the Capitol, and the Nevada State Railroad Museum. No trip to northern Nevada would be complete without a stop in historic Virginia City, a town which enjoyed great prosperity in the late 1800s following the discovery of the Comstock Lode. Lovely Lake Tahoe, nestled in the mountains and lined by resorts, offers many opportunities for camping and for year-round sports. Tahoe and Eldorado national forests, north and west of the lake, provide many recreational facilities. In eastern Nevada is Great Basin National Park with the Lehman Caves, bristlecone pine forests, and scenic drives. With 21 state parks, Nevada offers plenty of opportunities for visitors interested in pursuing outdoor activities. History buffs also can visit the state`s old mining and ghost towns. The many annual events in Nevada include the South Lake Tahoe Winter Carnival, chariot races in Wells, the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, the Reno Championship Air Races, Pony Express Days in Ely, and the Basque Festival and Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko. And, of course, when it comes to hospitality, Nevada has made it an art form. Nevada, famous for glittering resorts, small town festivals, scenic attractions and man-made wonders, continues its strong tradition as a playground for the adventurer in all of us. Whether you`re looking for thrills or local hospitality, excitement or a new outlook on hometown culture - Nevada offers a variety of activities for the visitor, and legalized gambling probably heads the list. Las Vegas is Nevada`s largest city, and its neon lights and gaming tables lure millions of visitors each year.
