In Nevada, you will find enormous contrasts. On one side is the bustling Las Vegas Strip, full of casinos and shows. On the other side are vast desert plains, quiet nature parks and old mining villages along U.S. Route 50. Many travelers visit Nevada as part of a tour along the American Westkust.
Visit the impressive Hoover Dam, which curbs the Colorado River and formed beautiful Lake Mead. Explore nature at Great Basin National Park, with hiking trails, caves and one of the most beautiful starry skies in the United States.

Las Vegas is all about entertainment. You'll find the shows of Cirque du Soleil, performances by famous artists and huge shopping opportunities. From luxury designer stores to outlet centers. You won't be short of anything on the culinary front either, with a mix of fine restaurants and dinner shows.
Outside the city, Nevada shows itself from a very different side. You can take a road trip along the Extraterrestrial Highway at Area 51 or drive a stretch along historic Route 66. In the mood for a little more adventure? Then there's plenty to do: go off-roading in the desert, take a helicopter ride over the Strip or opt for a quiet balloon ride over the city.
