Nevada

What you need to know before you go

    Nevada may be mostly desert, yet it’s packed with star attractions. The bright lights of Las Vegas are the obvious example, attracting millions of people each year with its seemingly unlimited options for gambling, shows, shopping and first-class dining. Reno offers much the same but on a smaller scale. Don't forget to visit the state capital of Carson City, too.

    Cities aren't really your thing? No problem – the list of state and national parks in Nevada certainly won't disappoint. Check out such famous sights as Death Valley, Lake Mead and even a bit of the Grand Canyon.

    • Las Vegas

      Las Vegas, a sprawling neon-washed city set in the sunny desert state of Nevada, is rightly known as the City of Lights. A dazzling array of ritzy casinos, mega-hotels, and plush resorts boasting buzzing bars and live shows ensures the fun never stops.

      But Vegas isn’t all about indulgent entertainment—it’s also home to a strong arts scene with many excellent galleries and museums like the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and the surrounding area is full of rugged desert beauty.
