Nevada

Nevada’s history is rooted in the Wild West, from cowboys and Indians to train robberies and silver and gold mines. Though much has changed over the decades – Nevada now draws more than 50 million visitors each year and attracts international audiences – much of the allure of the state is still found in its western heritage and propensity as a playground for adults.

Famous for glittering resorts, small town festivals, scenic attractions and man-made wonders, Nevada continues its strong tradition as a playground for the adventurer in all of us. Playgrounds come in all shapes and sizes.

With more than 100 courses throughout the state, Nevada is truly a golfer’s paradise. From championship courses such as the 54-hole Las Vegas Paiute Resort to casual, recreational links like the nine-hole Brookside Golf Course in Reno, Nevada has endless recreational options for golfers. There are more than 50 courses within two hours of Las Vegas including three dozen in the immediate area. The Reno-Lake Tahoe region offers more than 50 golf courses within an hour of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Many of Nevada’s casino-resorts offer their visitors fine golfing options as well.

Nevada’s casino-resorts become more imaginative and lavish every year. Visitors can spend the night in a pyramid, a penthouse suite overlooking breathtaking Lake Tahoe, or a rustic bed and breakfast in a ghost town.

If it’s the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas or Reno, the tranquility of Lake Tahoe, or experiencing the true history of the Old West, Nevada is home to a variety of resort options sure to fit your style.
