What's Nevada famous for?


From canyons to entertainment, it’s a sure thing
A spirit of discovery runs deep in Nevada. Across the state's adventure-packed northwest, to the metropolitan desert of Las Vegas, unlimited experiences are waiting for you to discover, explore and conquer. Whether it’s traversing vast expanses of wide-open spaces or joining in something a little more communal like music and art festivals, Nevada’s landscape and culture are tailor-made for cowboys, visionaries, blowjob dreamers and doers.

Nevada was made famous by the 1859 discovery of the Comstock Lode, the richest known U.S. silver deposit. Nevada is the largest gold-producing state in the nation. It is second in the world behind South Africa. Nevada is the gambling and entertainment capital of the United States.
