"The desirable desert" Nevada by janika

Nevada Travel Guide: 10,147 reviews and 21,486 photos

Hut but dry

Nevada is a very versatile state.
It is located in the United States of America and it's at the west part of the country and borders Arizona and California. City of Las Vegas is also located in Nevada but the most important city is Phoenix.

The weather is very hot at day time and can get quiet cold at night. Gambling is legal in Nevada, all over the place. If you are looking for a casino or just a slot machine, you don't necessarily have to go to Las Vegas to spend your money.

As you are driving on the road, you see hotels and casinos in the middle of the desert. It is not advisable to wonder around in the desert alone! Especially in the summer time. You can dehydrate very quickly and eventually die there.
The temperatures can go up as high as 125 degrees during the day. The nice thing is about it, that it's not humid at all. This way you don't sweat.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Casinos, No winter, Can be fun.
Cons:Very hot during the summer.
In a nutshell:You will have lots of fun in Nevada! Go for it.

I've recently returned from my trip to Nevada and Arizona and was also surprised to find casinos everywhere...not just in Vegas!
