Nevada is one of the largest states in the U.S., meaning you won’t find a shortage of action. Sure, we're silver mines and pickups and long, lonely roads, but we're also artists and oddballs and one-liner kings. It’s one of the only places you can ski world-class runs in the morning, then walk world-class greens in the afternoon. You can bike or hike the Tahoe Rim Trail, navigate a kayak on the Tr

uckee River through downtown Reno, take an ATV up Sand Mountain near Fallon and snowmobile miles of wide-open terrain near Elko. You can even test your Indy car or NASCAR skills in the Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon Racing School at Las Vegas Motor Speedway—after you take in a world-famous show and dine at a five-star resort and casino, of course.

Would you stay at the Clown Motel? 👻 ✅

The Clown Motel in Tonopah, Nevada boasts what’s got to be the largest private collection of clown memorabilia under the sun. But if that's not intriguing enough for you, maybe the cemetery next door might be just the thing to convince you to book a night at the iconic (and haunted) Clown Motel.
