This collection of realistic Destination Reviews helps you plan your next adventure in Nevada.

“The Silver State” has something for every traveler.

Getting There

Nevada is a landlocked state in the American Southwest. It is the 7th largest state in the union by territory.

Yet, it is one of the least densely populated states in the US. The vast majority of Nevada’s residents live in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is a major airline hub. It is a great destination for cheap airfare. That makes the city a perfect starting point for exploring the entire Southwest region.

Most of Nevada’s territory is in the desert. Extreme heat poses challenges to visiting the state in the summer.

Many sights are off limits during the summer season. But the state is a great spot during winter and shoulder seasons.

Places to Visit

Las Vegas is the main destination for travelers to Nevada. Casinos, sports, and shows attract over 30 million visitors a year. But there is a lot to see in Nevada beyond the Sin City.

The state is home to one national park, one national monument, and several national areas. Great Basin, Nevada’s only National Park, is a sight to see.

It protects a glacier in the desert. A scenic drive, glacier trails, and cave tours complete the park’s places of interest.

There are also 27 state parks to choose from. Valley of Fire and Cathedral Gorge have a few beautiful formations. Many of them rival those in the world famous national parks.
