Nevada Travel & Tourism Search
Nevada got its name from a Spanish word which means "snow clad", as it relates to our Sierra Nevada Mountain Snow Peaks! The discovery of the Comstock Lode, a massive silver deposit in 1859 brought many fortune seekers. Shortly after, statehood followed in 1864 when Nevada was admitted as the 36th state. Nevada is located in a mountain region that includes both semi arid grass lands and sandy deserts. It is the most arid "dry" state in the USA. Like an oasis in the desert, Nevada's two main cities; Las Vegas and Reno attract fortune seekers from around the globe, hoping to strike it rich in one of the many casinos. The capital of the State of Nevada is Carson City. The state flower is the sagebrush!
