Nights in Nevada

For millions of people, Nevada is the (hopeful) home of Lady Luck, being the state holding America’s favorite gambling destination, Las Vegas. However, Nevada is more than just one city of glitz. Located in the western region of the nation, Nevada (or the “Silver State,” named so as a result of the silver deposits found there) is bordered by Idaho to the northeast, Utah to the east, Arizona to the southeast and south, California to the south and west, and Oregon to the northwest.

Nevada is the seventh-largest state in terms of area in the nation and is 35th in population. Although on the surface coming in at 35th on the population scale isn’t very impressive, from 2000 to 2008 Nevada’s population increased a scorching 30%, meaning that Nevada has been a very popular relocation destination the last decade. As one might expect, Las Vegas is the largest city in the state, but Carson City is Nevada’s capital. Outside of the big draw of legalized gambling, Nevada also offers world-class skiing, golf, hiking, biking, and kayaking, making Nevada home to pretty much everything.
