Nevada, located in the western United States, is a state of contrasts, offering vibrant cities, stunning natural landscapes, and a rich history. Known for Las Vegas, the “Entertainment Capital of the World,” Nevada draws visitors with its dazzling casinos, world-class shows, and bustling nightlife.
