Nevada

Nevada is way more than just Las Vegas. Sin City is great for luxe hotels, captivating shows like Cirque du Soleil’s “Mystere” and residencies by Adele or the Killers, and cultural spaces (including the Neon Museum and the Sphere), but the state’s natural wonders are equally impressive. Get outdoors with a hike among sandstone cliffs in Red Rock Canyon, tour through stalactite-filled Lehman Caves in Great Basin National Park, or go swimming or boating on Lakes Mead and Tahoe.
