The State: Explorer John C Fremont’s 1844/5 expedition with legendary
scout Kit Carson opened up the region called Nevada, previously part of Mexico.
The name ‘Nevada’, meaning ‘snow-capped’ in Spanish,
was adopted in 1861 when the territory was established. The State has since
been sectioned off into ‘territories’. The Cowboy Country, found
along the I-80 corridor across northern Nevada, was once the main trail across
the State, used by thousands of pioneers on horseback and in covered wagons.
The Reno-Tahoe Territory, situated on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada,
contains many of Nevada’s most scenic and historic sights. The Pony
Express Territory, named after the famous riders, offers one of the last opportunities
to experience the Old West. In the Pioneer Territory, which encompasses south
central Nevada, visitors can trace the story of Nevada’s rich mining
history.
Las Vegas, Nevada’s largest city, is one of the major gambling and entertainment
centres of the world. Luxury hotels, casinos and show venues line The Strip,
a section of Las Vegas Boulevard South; a lower-priced, smaller version is
found at the Downtown Casino Center, which also features the Fremont Street
Experience, a four-block canopied street mall with nightly light shows. Outdoor
sports, top restaurants and nightclubs are also on offer. Las Vegas is probably
the easiest place in the world in which to get married. Around 230 marriage
licences are issued per day.
Reno, another entertainment and casino city, is known for its quiet residential
areas, and surrounding historic and natural attractions.
