Pros: Warm climate, entertainment Cons: Desolate. No morals.
What images does Nevada conjure up in your mind? Cactus? Prostitutes? Gambling? Shows? Nevada has all this and more. Last week I bit off a bit more than I could chew.
I knew Nevada had prostitution. I always thought it was out there in the...
Pros: Lots to see and do; No inhibitions; lots of pleasures, music and more... Cons: Everything goes
A few weeks before our trip, my two friends warned me against some of the things that I will be seeing at Black Rock City, Nevada. Nothing truly prepared me for the surprise and bewilderment I was going to be exposed to. It was going to be a few days...
Pros: Awe-inspiring beauty, very close to Las Vegas Cons: Closes at sunset
Spectacular sites are more so when you come on them unexpectedly. That may be why the Valley of Fire made a stronger impression than the Grand Canyon. I know, it sounds like heresy, but I do think I found this state park, which sits just outside of Las...
To continue relating my road trip journey, we left Arizona in the afternoon and drove to Pahrump, Nevada. Remember this was a group of biologists, we may enjoy some things that others will not. We stayed in this area for several days and camped out....
Pros: Cheap trailer trash accommodations and bizarre travel adventure Cons: You may get brainwashed by an alien (or the Owner)
I have a group of friends called the Team Enigma (AKA "The Freaks"). The Team takes its travel adventures seriously; the more strange and bizarre the location, the better. This urge for the absurd was never more satiated then on our visit to the tiny...
Have you ever noticed how deserts have a funny way of warping peoples perceptions (or clearing them up!)? The Mojave desert, Australian desert and Sahara desert are chock full of independent thinkers/artists & poets. The Nevada desert is no ...
Pros: Food, Fun, 24 HR everything Cons: Losing too much money
As a virgin to Vegas, I have to admit it is definitely a great weekend vacation getaway!! Amongst the many lights and constant action, it is very easy to forget about your daily work/pay the bills/responsibilities routine!!
Pros: Possibility to win millions Cons: House always wins
It’s not a pretty sight to see a grown man cry. But in Nevada, this is very symbolic. Is this a sign of society’s corruption or a vivid example of human emotion? Well, you tell me. Nah, never mind, I’ll tell you. To decide we must look the...
Pros: Cheap hotels, cheap food, easy to get in and out of on your way elsewhere Cons: Entire town smells of decay, depressed atmosphere, no distractions to speak of
Laughlin, Nevada is one of those rare towns built by, named for, and still owned by the same greedhead, I mean, benevolent developer. Donald Laughlin seems to have seen Las Vegas, and tried to create it on a smaller scale. A bad idea, since the raison...
Pros: so beautiful you'll hate to leave Cons: very high in the mountains
We took a day trip from Reno,Nevada to Lake Tahoe in the spring of the year. It was one of the most enchanting places I have ever visited. The white snowcapped mountains are absolutely beautiful and the air is so crisp, clean and pure it made me feel...
Pros: Friendly, clean and great dinner specials Cons: Not big and fancy and not on the Strip, older decor
Not a casino-on-steroids, not cheek to jowl with The Statue of Liberty, Merlin's Castle or The Sphinx, the California Hotel is a mecca for Hawaiians, Californians and locals. Located downtown, within walking distance from the Golden Nugget, Main Street...
After twenty miles hard north on I-15, the glitz
and sizzle of Vegas fade like a neon dream.
Ghostly with lunar illumination, the road
urges you on, and the mountains...
Polyester US State Flag of Nevada The flag of Nevada was designed in 1926 and consists of a blue field with a star in the upper left hand corner, surrounded by the state name "Nevada."...
