Although Nevada is most notorious for the famous city of Las Vegas, the state offers so much more as far as sight seeing, absolutely breath-taking views, and other tourist-magnet activities.
Hoover Dam and Lake Mead are two sights that shouldn't be missed. Less than an hour's drive from Las Vegas is Mount Charleston and the Toiyabe National Forest, where visitors may hunt, camp, hike, ski, and climb mountains. 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 you can find the Great Basin National Park with the Lehman Caves, bristle cone pine forests, and scenic drives.
Of course, if you're looking for neon lights, fast-paced life, non-stop entertainment, and legalized gambling, Las Vegas is the city for you. Las Vegas never really sleeps. Popular attractions on the Strip include the mind-boggling Cirque du Soleil, the entertaining Blue Man Group, the capturing Fremont Street Experience and much, much more. Las Vegas is Nevada's largest city, and its gaming tables lure millions of visitors each year.
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 filled with historically enriching attractions such as 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 that enjoyed great prosperity in the late 1800s following the discovery of the Comstock Lode.
Nevada is the state that really takes the cake as far as delivering a huge to-do list for the eager tourist. A variety of activities offer themselves up to be pursued and discovered in this particularly amazing state.
