About Nevada

Flag Nevada is a land of contrasts, a land where anything is possible. From the mountains to the desert, the remote countryside to the pulsing city, from the cool, crisp waters of Lake Tahoe to the scorching hot sands of the Strip – Nevada can be anything you want it to be. Come to Nevada for outdoor adventures – hike, climb, raft, ski, even golf – you'll find so many ways to enjoy the outdoors here. Take in the breathtaking grandeur of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, but don't miss the stark beauty of the Mojave Desert. Nevada's outdoor wonders are different and varied, but not to be missed. Take a trip to the Wild West museum in Reno and travel back in Nevada's cowboy past. Or take in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and enjoy today's Wild West. If you like festivals, there are plenty to entertain you in Nevada. Tahoe's Summerfest is not to be missed, but is graciously followed by the Autumn Food & Wine Festival. Las Vegas hosts America's Party every year, but Vegas is also party city every night. Just look at the roller coasters, pirate ships, circus acts, pyramids, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower – there's entertainment of every sort. It's fantasy land for adults and what happens there, stays there – or so they say. Visiting Nevada is like taking a walk on the wild side, whether it be the Wild West, the wild wilderness or born to be wild. It'll be the ride of your life.
