For most travelers, Nevada means only one place: Las Vegas. A glittering surreal world of gambling and entertainment on a grand scale, the city is unlike any other on earth. The rest of the state holds delights for those who seek them out: stark empty deserts, pioneer history, ghost towns, and even UFO conspiracies.
