World-famous thanks to Las Vegas, Nevada remains above all an arid, desert state that is ultimately not very touristy once you exclude, of course, Vegas and its casinos. Even though sites like lakes Tahoe and Mead or the unmissable Death Valley attract visitors, these are only partially located in Nevada and are more broadly associated with neighboring states.
