There's more to Nevada than Vegas and the sooner out-of-towners understand this, the better!
2. We do get snow and we LOVE it!
Nevada may be the driest U.S. state, but we do get snow. After all, "Nevada" does mean "snow-covered."
3. What's all this talk about GOLD?
Nevada might be nicknamed "Silver State," but it's the largest gold-producing state in the U.S. Pretty ironic, huh?

Nevada is one of the most haunted states in the country. If we're going to live here, we can't be afraid of ghosts.
