About Nevada:
Find out more about Nevada before you travel there. Order tourist brochures and look at
where you'd like to stay.
Nevada gets its name from the Sierra Nevada.
States neighbouring Nevada are: California,
Oregon, Idaho, Utah
and Arizona.
The gambling centres of Reno and Las Vegas is what attracts most
visitors to Nevada; even the Greyhound from San Francisco to Salt Lake City and Denver
stops at Reno for enough time to let you play the slots; if you're over 21.
Apart from the distractions of the casinos and neon in Las Vegas and
Reno, there are also some scenic attractions in Nevada.
Lake Mead:
Hoover Dam straddles Nevada and Arizona. The colossus concrete
structure holds back the Colorado River, and creates a man-made lake.
A number of historical sites also survive in Nevada: An 1868 mansion
in Virginia City is known as the Castle; the Mormon Station Historic State Monument is in
Genoa; and you can visit Fort Churchill Historic State Monument in Yerington.
Nevada Museums
Many of Nevada's museums exhibit Native American crafts and artefacts
and relics from the early mining days.
Among these are the Nevada State Museum, in Carson City; North-eastern
Nevada Museum, in Elko; and the Nevada Historical Society, in Reno.

moved out. You can find at least twenty of these historic ghost towns between Lake Tahoe
and Salt Lake City, and there are many more around Nevada.

and Nevada, at an altitude of about 1,897 m. On its shores are tourist resorts and state
