NEW IN NEVADA
From attractions in Las Vegas to expansions in
Reno-Tahoe to developments in rural Nevada, the
Silver State continues to evolve. Heres a look at
some recent projects:
LAS VEGAS
Bear Grylls Survival Academy opened an
Adventure Day Course in September 2015 in
Overton, about 64 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Shelter building, high rope work and a navigation
challenge in Valley of Fire State Park are among
the activities at the academy.
Casa de Shenandoah, the 52-acre Las Vegas
estate of Wayne Newton, opened September 2015.
Tours include an introductory video about Mr. Las
Vegas, a museum area that includes Newtons
private jet and classic car collection, an exotic
animal collection and Newtons mansion.
Jennifer Lopez will begin a headlining residency
Jan. 20, 2016, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
Bear Grylls Survival Academy in Overton
on the Las Vegas Strip. The show will feature

Lopezs hits as well as a combination of ballads,
Latin music, funk and more.
Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip opened a 350,000-square-foot expansion to its convention center
in August 2015, and plans a second phase of expansion that transitioned existing space into a 70,000-square-foot carpeted
ballroom. That project was completed in early 2016.
The Park, an eight-acre outdoor dining and entertainment district between New York-New York Hotel & Casino and Monte
Carlo Resort and Casino, is set to open in 2016. The Shake Shack, Bruxie gourmet waffle restaurant and Sake Rok, a theatrical
restaurant/late-night lounge, are among the businesses included in the project. The Park will open in conjunction with the Las
Vegas Arena, a 20,000-seat, $375 million indoor arena west of
the Las Vegas Strip between New York-New York and Monte
Carlo Resort and Casino.
Premium Outlets North, a retail destination at the intersection
of Interstate 15 and Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas, opened
a 25-store expansion in mid-2015. Name brands CH Carolina
Herrera, Helmut Lang and Rag & Bone are among the new
retailers. In all, the center totals 685,000 square feet and 175
stores.
Speed Vegas, a new racecar driving experience on a 1.5-mile
track, is set to open March 2016 on Las Vegas Boulevard South,
about 11 miles south of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Visitors
will be able to get behind the wheel of exotic and muscle cars,
including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Audis, Ford Shelby Mustangs

VEGAS IS BACK AND HOTTER THAN EVER.
Downtown Las Vegas exudes retro-funk from the cool neon at the El Cortez Las Vegas longest-running hotel and casino to
the old-fashioned malts, with prices to match, at the 1950s soda foundation of Tiffanys Caf.
Soak up some history with a stroll through two of Las Vegas most celebrated museums, the Mob Museum and the Neon
Museum. The Mob Museum is housed in the former federal courthouse where mob trials took place. The Neon Museum is an

Several mid-century-modern neighborhoods have withstood the test of time and reemerged as the place to live the Vintage
Vegas dream.
Paradise Palms, once home to Rat Pack stars and mob kings such as Dean Marty, Frank Lefty Rosenthal, Johnny Carson, and
Debbie Reynolds, is a community of 1950s lime green and sky blue single-story homes near the Las Vegas National Golf Course,
then known as the Stardust Country Club.
RETRO DIGS

Lake Tahoes two main destinations North Shore and South Shore are easily accessible from Reno and Carson City, and are
thriving with activity and entertainment year-round.
NORTH SHORE 36 MILES (58 KM) VIA I-580 AND S.R. 431
The north shore is anchored by Incline Village, an upscale mountain hamlet boasting its own ski resort, Diamond Peak, two golf
courses, a range of accommodations, and sunny stretches of sandy beach. Visitors staying at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe in
Incline Village can rent kayaks and other water toys from the hotels private beach. The entire property beach and pier included
are Wi-Fi equipped, but dont spend too much time on a laptop when you have the blue expanses of Lake Tahoe at your
fingertips.
In the summer, the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival presents live performances every night of its six-week season. Arrive early
to stroll along the beach and share a picnic dinner in the festivals sand amphitheater. Plan your day of outdoor adventure with
the North Lake Tahoe Ale Trail, which links water and land trails to breweries and pubs.
SOUTH SHORE 59 MILES VIA I-580 AND US-50

The south shore of Lake Tahoe is perhaps best known for the towering casinos of Stateline and the bustling village at Heavenly
Mountain Resort. This year-round village features restaurants, shops, galleries, and activities right at the base of Heavenlys ski
gondola. Visitors can ride the gondola in the summer months to access seemingly endless miles of hiking trails or to simply take
in the staggering view of the lake.
Zephyr Cove on the southeast shore of the lake is a hot spot for renting boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards, or meeting
friends during a game of beach volleyball. This is also the launch point for the regal M.S. Dixie II, a southern-style paddlewheel
boat that runs sightseeing excursions and evening dinner/dance cruises throughout the year. The beach-lined cove is also a
favorite for family gatherings, weddings, and weekend getaways.
Harveys Tahoe casino-resort brings big-name musical artists to its outdoor amphitheater all summer long while neighboring
resorts boast comedy and music acts any night of the week. Be sure to visit in July to get your celebrity fix at the American
Century Celebrity Golf Tournament held at Edgewood Tahoe. The golf resorts fine-dining restaurant also offers lakeside dining

NATIONAL PARKS EVERYONE LOVES A BIRTHDAY, AND THIS YEAR YOURE
ALL INVITED TO THE PARTY. THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE TURNS 100 IN
2016, AND NEVADAS OWN GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK TURNS 30. THIS
IS THE YEAR TO LOG SOME SERIOUS ROAD TRIP MILES AND REDISCOVER
AMERICAS NATIONAL PARKS.
There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its
charm, said President Theodore Roosevelt, conservationist and founder of the National Park Service. Thanks to his vision
and action as president, some of Americas most stunning, inspiring landscape is protected and maintained for public use.
Great Basin National Park, the only national park entirely within Nevadas borders, is still a youngster in park-years,
designated in 1986 and followed by only 10 parks since then. It is best recognized by the glacial Wheeler Peak, the tallest
mountain peak in Nevada, and the subterranean Lehman Caves.
Adventure-seekers can plot a route to the top of Wheeler Peak, best attempted in the late spring and early fall seasons.
But you dont have to be Bear Grylls to enjoy the rugged terrain of Great Basin; the paved 12-mile Wheeler Peak Scenic
Drive offers access to trail heads, camping, and picnic areas. The Bristlecone Trail is a moderate 5 1/2-mile roundtrip hike to
a grove of bristlecone pine trees, some as old as 3,000 years.
Great Basin National Park is on the eastern edge of Nevada, a five-hour drive from Las Vegas. Its often included as a
must-see on treks across Highway 50, The Loneliest Road in America.
On Nevadas southwestern edge is Death Valley National Park, arguably one of the most famous parks in the U.S. With
adjectives like hottest, driest, lowest, and names like Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells, Badwater, and Devils Golf Course,
one might be surprised that more than 1.1 million people venture into its protected lands every year, many from its eastern
border with Nevada.
Pahrump, one hour northwest of Las Vegas, is a perfect base camp for adventuring in Death Valley. From 24-hour casinos
and restaurants to new hotels, a JetPack experience, and two celebrated wineries, theres plenty to do in Pahrump after
spending a day exploring the natural wonders and oddities of Death Valley.

LAS VEGAS STRIP

The Las Vegas Strip draws millions every year with its casinos, entertainment, shopping and dining, and thanks to the profusion
of LED light displays and neon signs, its considered a nighttime scenic byway by the Federal Highway Administration.
The 4.5-mile (7.2 km) Las Vegas Strip begins at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Russell Road and continues north
on Las Vegas Boulevard until it intersects with Sahara Avenue.
Start your trip on the Strip a little south of Russell Road, so you can view the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
Theres a parking lot at the sign (accessible from southbound Las Vegas Boulevard) so be sure to stop for a photo op.
The Strips ever-changing skyline currently includes New York-New York, which has a roller coaster snaking through the
resorts recreation of the Big Apple; Paris Las Vegas, which sports a 541-foot-tall Eiffel Tower; and the Bellagio, fronted by a lake
with water fountains timed to operate in coordination with music and lights. One of the newer attractions is the High Roller, a
550-foot-tall observation wheel directly across from Caesars Palace, with its Greek columns and classic statues. Thrill-seekers
may want to make a stop at the Stratrosphere, a 1,149-foot tower with thrill rides at the top.
The views you take in today are markedly different from what visitors saw in the early 20th century. The first casinos built in
the 1940s were smaller than the monoliths that line the famous byway today, but Las Vegas preserves its rich history in several
compelling, interactive museums just off the Strip. Those include the Nevada State Museum, inside Springs Preserve cultural
institution on Valley View Boulevard; the National Atomic Testing Museum on Flamingo Road; the Mob Museum on Stewart
Avenue; and the Neon Museum on North Las Vegas Boulevard.

Lovers travel from all over the globe to Nevada to take advantage of the myriad fun and unique wedding experiences offered
throughout the state. With beachside weddings at Lake Las Vegas or along the crystalline shores of Lake Tahoe, the state offers
a wide variety of natural settings for scenic outdoor ceremonies. Get married among desert dunes, with ancient petroglyphs as a
wedding backdrop, in a meadow filled with desert wildflowers, or underneath a prehistoric red sandstone arch.
But there is no place like Las Vegas, the marriage capital of the world, to get married. Here, enjoy the vintage, classic charm of
dozens of wedding chapels that line the Las Vegas Strip. Chapels range from those with Elvis impersonators and drive-through
windows to elegant venues in which the bride walks down the aisle bathed in the glow of Venetian glass windows.
Couples traveling to Las Vegas have many options, styles and price ranges from which to choose. Throw in a photographer,
custom floral bouquets, live video streaming and custom cocktails to make the day truly special. Private and chapel wedding
planners help couples select or customize a package of services that is just right. Venues include everything from the civil
marriage commission to small garden weddings to private venues around the valley to the luxury resort wedding chapels that
can get as lavish as the couple wants.
56
TRAVELNEVADA.COM
The Legalities
The nuts and bolts of getting married are simple and open to traditional or same-sex couples. There is no waiting period or
blood test requirement, but a license is mandatory. Couples must go to a county clerks office in the county of choice to obtain
a marriage license. Both parties must be present with proper identification. With the license in hand, head to the wedding venue
of your choice and exchange vows. The officiant will sign and file the marriage certificate and 10 days later, couples may request
the official document showing their marriage ($15). A Nevada marriage license may be used anywhere in the state. However, after
the ceremony, the marriage certificate will need to be filed in the county where the application was issued. The Marriage License
Application Fee varies throughout the state, between $60-$77.
Picture identification and proof of age is required.
Both parties must be over 18 years of age or have parental approval.
Each must know their mothers and fathers full name and state of birth.
Clark and Washoe county offices offer a pre-application on their websites to expedite the process. The Clark County
Marriage Bureau is three blocks south of the Fremont Street Experience and is open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily, including
holidays.Couples using the online pre-application (go to mlic.vegas to complete) in Clark County and zip in and out using the
express window at the main Marriage Bureau in Las Vegas and at the auxiliary locations in Henderson and Laughlin.
A marriage license is not proof of marriage and is valid for only one year. After a couple gets their marriage license, they must
make public vows in the presence of a marriage officiant and a witness. Chapels, private wedding venues and wedding planners
will be able to provide a licensed wedding officiant to preside over the ceremony.
Friends or family members of the couple who want to perform the ceremony must apply for a one-time Certificate of Authority
to Solemnize a Single Marriage Ceremony from the office of the county clerk. These applications must be submitted at least 30
days prior to the wedding date in order to be processed in time for the ceremony.
Some couples from other countries may be required to provide their country of origin witha copy of the marriage license and
an apostille (authentication
of signatures) to register a
marriage in a foreign country.
International tourists will need
to contact the Nevada Secretary
of State to order an apostille.

The Nevada Northern Railway in Ely offers visitors rides along the same routes that were built in 1905 to haul ore from nearby
mines. Walk through the East Ely Depot Museum, restored to its original 1907 appearance, and see original waiting rooms,
baggage storage, and offices used by one of the nations most important railroads.
Ride the rails behind the 1905 Baldwin Steam Locomotive No. 25 at the museum in Carson City. See the futuristic boat-inspired
McKeen Car, a national historic landmark and perfectly restored example of a rare self-propelled vehicle that used internal

Kyle Hot Springs NEAR INTERSTATE 80 NORTH OF LOVELOCK

Amazing hot springs with a side of mysterious Nevada history? Count us in. Located in the expansive and beautiful Buena Vista Valley,
Kyle Hot Springs is nearest the ghost town of Unionville and the larger cities of Lovelock and Winnemucca. Today, Kyle Hot Springs is a hilltop sulfur spring that is a small, but enjoyable spring. Although the specific timeframe is unknown, Kyle Hot Springs was once a mineral bath
resort that boasted lodging, hot baths and even steam treatments.
When visiting Kyle Hot Springs, take notice of the remnants of adobe buildings on the way up to the cattle trough. There are some serious photography opportunities to take advantage of in this remnant of Nevadas yesteryear. The springs are about 90 degrees, so they are
definitely optimal for summer months. Winter months are still nice, but it may become a little chilly. Also, a strong sulfur odor is present
at these springs. Be sure to leave all silver jewelry in the car; if you take a dip in the springs with any silver jewelry on it will not be so shiny
afterward.

Spencer Hot Springs SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 NEAR AUSTIN

A hot-tub-sized dipping pool has been created at the upper spring and is lined with flat stones, offering a very primitive version of a hot
tub. The lower spring offers a smaller metal dipping pool where you can regulate the temperature of the water flowing through a small pipe.
The water flowing out of the tub continues on its path downhill, creating several smaller pools, giving unique life to the desert. A couple
dozen goldfish live in the springs runoff, calling the warm water home year round.
Several metal fire pits exist near the springs to create primitive camping areas. There is plenty of room to park trailers or set up tents;
however, if you do decide to camp, be sure to set up a good distance away from the soaking pools to avoid infringing on others ability to
enjoy the springs.
Soldier Meadow Hot Springs NORTH OF GERLACH NEAR BLACK ROCK DESERT
North of the Black Rock Desert and Gerlach lies a remote soaking area, Soldier Meadows Hot Springs. These springs form a hot creek
in which man-made dams cause hot-tub-sized dipping pools to form. According to Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the area includes
seven semi-primitive camping facilities (parking areas and fire pits), a vault toilet, and trails that lead to the springs. The area also includes a
primitive cabin that is available for public use on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Because of approximately 60 miles of dirt road between the Black Rock Desert and the springs, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. BLM suggests people making the trip carry two spare tires. The area is very remote and can be difficult to find, but thats what
adventure is all about.

Located near the geographic center of Nevada, the fossils tell a tale of life under
the sea, of reptilian beasts that swam over what was then the oceans floor and
is now mountainsides.

Belmont
Historical graffiti in this mountain ghost town
marks the decades that have passed and gives
a glimpse into the visitors both welcome and
unwelcome that have entered its domain. An
eerie autograph is etched into a doorframe at the
courthouse, believed to have been left by Charles
Manson in 1969 while he and his family hid in the
deteriorating court house. Today, the courthouse
stands sentinel over the nearly deserted town of
Belmont, its ruins crumbling down the hillsides and
hidden in the high desert.
Blair
The Desert Lobster Caf in Mina and the ruins

of abandoned Coaldale are a few of the signs of civilization before you turn from U.S. 95 on State Route 265, headed for Blair. Essentially
abandoned by 1920, today Blair is composed of several stone and cement structures. Rusty combinations of artifacts and old trash speckle
the surrounding area, while fragments of fine china can be found in the cracked mud floors. An old wood-burning fireplace and chimney act
as the optical centerpiece amongst the walls, which, remarkably, still hold strong after nearly a century of withstanding the elements.
Hard Luck Castle

Ten miles south of Gold Point on a dirt road is the Hard Luck Castle, a work of art. As you approach the castle, a cylindrical central granite
column is visible, decorated with forest-green roofing and an American flag blowing in the breeze. The structure is impossible to miss
against the sagebrush backdrop of the desert. The Hard Luck Mine operated from 1897 to around World War II. Because of looting, the mine
could not reopen after the war.
It was purchased by a family who decided to turn it into a legacy, beginning construction in 2000. They have nearly completed the
four-story, 8,000-square-foot castle, complete with a theater, game room, two
kitchens, four bedrooms, and two grandiose pipe organs that fill the walls of the
castle.
Tours of the castle are available daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors also have
the opportunity to sleep in an original miners cabin. Visitors are encouraged to
call ahead for availability and road conditions.
Como
Gold brought miners to the small town of Como near Carson City in 1860s.
Now theres only rubble representing what was a thriving townsite with a bar,
hotel, newspaper and post office. Visitors can access the site via a 4WD road
out of Dayton, and the payoff is solitude among the stone mill and hotel ruins,
which are frequented by wild horses and other wildlife.
Nevada is dotted with ghost towns, each settlement telling the story of the
miners, railroad workers, explorers and settlers who answered the call to go
west, young man. You may see the signs of their struggles and triumphs as you,
too, go west.

Edgewood Tahoe, set on the shore of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, offers stunning views and great golf on a George Fazio-designed course.
Challenging yet fair, this course offers four sets of tees, ranging in length from 5,567 yards to 7,555 yards. Edgewood hosts the annual
American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in July, and will open a 154-room resort-hotel in 2017.
Other courses near Lake Tahoe are the Championship Course and the Mountain Course in Incline Village on the northern end of the lake.
Both designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the par-72 Championship Course offers beautiful views. The par-58 Mountain Course is an executive course thats fun and affordable.
LakeRidge Golf Course in Reno, a local favorite, offers a casual weekend diversion on a par-71 course. Its signature hole is No. 15, a par-3

In the Carson City/Carson Valley area just south of Reno, youll find the Divine 9. These nine courses are within a 40-minute drive of each
other, making the area a perfect golf destination. Among this group of courses is the Dayton Valley Golf Club, home to a PGA Tour qualifier
since 1995. This Arnold Palmer-designed course offers challenging holes and views of the eastern Sierra. Another Divine 9 offering is the
Lakes Course at the Genoa Lakes Golf Club & Resort. Lush wetlands and the winding Carson River bring water into 14 holes of play.
Another area favorite is the Lakes Course at Red Hawk Golf and Resort in Sparks, Renos neighboring city. This 7,140-yard course sits on

Bargain-hunters will find nearly every brand they can hope for at one of four outlet malls in Nevada: the Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas,
two Premium Outlet centers in Las Vegas, and the Outlets at Sparks.
The Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas are located in Primm, a 40-mile drive from the Las Vegas Strip. Many Las Vegas hotels offer shuttles to
the outlets, and the rock-bottom deals at the stores make your trip more than worth it. The outlet center is adjacent to Primm Valley Resort
and Casino, one of three resorts in Primm. The three resorts together boast 2,600 hotel rooms, one of the worlds tallest and fastest roller
coasters, a concert arena, 11 restaurants, and two golf courses.
Premium Outlets has two locations in Las Vegas in the north and south ends of town for convenient access no matter where youre staying. The south location near downtown offers more than 145 stores including Michael Kors, Coach, Calvin Klein and Zales. The north location
is bursting at the seams with 175 stories ranging from Kate Spade and Dolce & Gabbana to Tory Burch and True Religion.
If youre staying in the Reno area, youll want to drop by the Outlets at Sparks, an outdoor outlet center near the Sparks Marina with
everything from Express to Old Navy and Adidas. The center is anchored by Scheels All Sports a mammoth sporting-goods store with a
full-size Ferris wheel in the center, two 16,000-gallon aquariums, and hunting and sporting simulators.
On Renos southern end is The Summit, outdoor lifestyle center with fashions for the whole family, restaurants, a movie theater, and
weekly farmers markets and holiday events.
The best souvenirs you can take home are the memories you make while exploring Nevadas rugged outdoors and pulsing urban life, but
when you want serious shopping, Nevada offers global brands and great bargins.

Billed as a neighborhood restaurant with an
Italian influence, Campo in downtown Reno is the
place where friends gather after work, business
partners meet over lunch, and good food is celebrated by all. The menu highlights local ingredients and changes depending on whats available
and in season.
The Depot is a recent addition to the Reno

Midtown Renos recent gentrification has brought with it a surge of new restaurants sure to impress any foodie in
your circle of friends.
Great Full Gardens opened in 2013 with a wholesome menu that caters to those with special dietary needs and those
who just want great, fresh food.
TRAVELNEVADA.COM
Sp keeps it simple with soups, salads, and sandwiches made from scratch daily. They use the freshest ingredients possible sourced from local farms and ranches. Vegetarian and vegan options abound
so no one is left out of the satisfaction of a hearty bowl of homemade soup.
Midtown Eats serves up rustic and comfort food for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Hearty dishes
like the bison burger or the falafel flatbread sandwich dont disappoint the hungry patron, while unique
starters like fried avocado slices and deviled eggs with kalamata olive tapenade are sure to whet your
appetite. Wash it all down with a choice of creative cocktails (lavender gin, honey syrup and lemon?
Yes, please!).
Las Vegas
Minimalist in style with maximum flavor, Mochiko Chicken is an Asian fusion caf a short 15-minute
drive from the Las Vegas Strip. Dive into the spice with the Sriracha chargrilled chicken bowl, or keep it
light with the coconut curry chicken bowl.
There are several burger joints in Las Vegas that can claim to be the best, and we wont
even try to decide between them. Instead, here are several that will not disappoint,
whether youre looking for a simple old-fashioned burger or a gourmet patty. Bachi
Burger, with three locations in the Las Vegas area, puts an Asian twist on the classic burger, while BLT Burger inside The Mirage allows you to choose your own
selection of gourmet toppings and sides. The king of culinary mean, Gordon
Ramsay, opened his own gourmet burger restaurant inside Planet Hollywood.
Burgr makes a statement with a fire-lined wall and omnipresent line at the
entrance, but everyone in line knows the wait is worth it. Ramsay never fails,
and his Burgr restaurant is no exception.
Whist Stove and Spirits at The District at Green Valley Ranch is an
affordable neighborhood restaurant whose price point belies the
exquisite caliber of its food. Open 24 hours, diners can try the
signature Spanish octopus served with chimichurri, jicama and
cilantro, or try the seafood hot pot with crab, shrimp and
mussels. Craft cocktails shaken (and stirred) by in-house
mixologists seal the deal as a true foodie find.

Basque
Traditional Basque restaurants dot the Nevada culinary landscape and are concentrated more heavily in the northern end of the state. A
Basque meal is usually served family style, so make friends with your neighbors or they wont pass the salad or beans your way. The fare
may vary, depending on whether the restaurant leans more Spanish-Basque or French-Basque, but you can be sure there will be at least five
courses leading up to your main dish.
Ormacheas in Winnemucca
JT Basque Bar and Dining Room in Gardnerville is about as down-home authentic as it gets. The large bar welcomes patrons into the
family before theyre ushered into a dining room that could be in any family farmhouse.
The Star Hotel in Elko is one of the most iconic Basque restaurants in Nevada, as demonstrated by the always-packed dining room and
line of cowboys and ranchers on bar stools tossing back picon punches. Be sure to order your steak or lamb Basque style, which comes
with a heaping helping of roasted garlic.
Louis Basque Corner and the Santa Fe Hotel in downtown Reno keep Reno on the Basque map with their authentic cuisine including
sweetbreads and roast lamb. Louis was featured on the Food Networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF SKI RESORTS IN NORTH AMERICA
This is Lake Tahoe.

The Nevada side of Tahoe boasts 24-hour nightlife, world-class entertainment, easy access to the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, and a
wide variety of hotel and resort accommodations.
Heavenly Mountain Resort spans the Nevada-California border and boasts the most skiable terrain at the lake and the most vertical feet
on the West Coast.
You could call this the granddaddy of Tahoe ski resorts, but its not your granddaddys resort. Three terrain parks and the High Roller Half
Pipe welcome hotshot boarders and skiers of all ages. For adults-only action hit the Unbuckle Apres Party at Tamarack Lodge. This weekend
slopeside party offers killer drink specials, live DJs, and dancers that could melt the ice off the Arctic Circle.
Not a skier? Not to worry. Heavenly has one of the biggest and baddest tubing hills in the country, named the best tubing hill in America
by Fox News.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort is perched lakeside on the north shore of Lake Tahoe and offers breathtaking views of the lake. An award-winning ski school, the Burton Learn to Ride Center, and a generous mix of green, blue, and black runs make this a great family destination for
all levels of skiers and boarders.
The nearest hotel resort is the Hyatt Lake Tahoe, which has its own ski retail and rental shop. Oh, it also has a casino, a luxurious spa, and
outdoor fire pits. Yes, you can take your hot toddy poolside (heated, with indoor swim-out access!) or lakeside and cozy up around a roaring

Always trust the locals! Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe is the locals favorite with 1,200 acres of terrain only 25 minutes from Reno. Visitors can take
advantage of a variety of ski-and-stay packages from Reno hotels. With the highest base elevation at the lake, Mt. Rose towers high above
Incline Village on the north shore and offers sweeping views of both Lake Tahoe and Reno.
Mt. Roses real claim to fame is The Chutes, double-black-diamond runs with some of the longest vertical in North America. For years, skiers risked their season passes by sneaking into this previously closed terrain because it is THAT good. Mt. Rose officially brought The Chutes
into its terrain in 2004 with designated gate entry only.

For the serious history buffs, this museum adjacent to the University of Nevada, Reno, is a gold mine of historical manuscripts, artifacts,
and collections. Make this your first stop if you want to really set the foundation for understanding Nevadas past and future.
NEVADA STATE MUSEUM
An underground mine exhibit, a life-size ghost town, the silver service from the USS Nevada, and a working coin press from the Carson
City Mint. Yeah, you could spend some time here. The State Museum is in downtown Carson City, an easy walk from the Capitol, the Governors Mansion, and the Kit Carson Trail walking tour. The coin press fires up once a month and on special occasions, providing a glimpse into
early American coin making and the Comstock Mining boom.
NEVADA STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM

Only a mile south of downtown Carson City is the Nevada State Railroad Museum, a fascinating collection of locomotives, passenger
and freight cars, and artifacts from Nevadas railroad past. A working railway encircles the site and provides train rides on select weekends
throughout the year. Dont miss the historic McKeen Motor Car or the newly restored Glenbrook steam engine.

LOST CITY MUSEUM

The Lost City Museum was built in 1935 by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts excavated from Pueblo Grande de Nevada, which was soon to
be flooded by Lake Mead and the newly constructed Hoover Dam. While the
museum tells the story of our American Indian ancestors, its very existence is

Opals
The Virgin Valley deep in the northwestern corner of Nevada is not easy to get to, but the payoff is big. Sage-covered valleys, jagged rock
cliffs, and natural hot springs await the rugged adventurer. Commercial opal mines welcome visitors to mine their tailings for a fee and
dig out luminous opals and the rare black opal, found in only two locations in the world (the other is in Australia).
Amateur rockhounds, intrepid travelers, and memory-making families can be found in the mine quarries poring over rock piles in search
of the precious gemstones.
The mines that allow digging are Royal Peacock, Bonanza, and Rainbow Ridge. The digging season typically starts in May, and if you go,
be prepared for primitive camping and limited services. This trip has all the makings of a true adventure: gravel roads, spotty cell service,
and few people.
Royston Turquiose Mine
Turquoise
Nevada is the second largest producer of turquoise in the U.S., and you can find it for yourself at the Royston Turquoise Mine near Tonopah. Digging sign-ups are at Ottesons Royston Turquoise Mine, conveniently located in the Mizpah Hotel. Group tours are driven out to
the mine, and then miners are turned loose with the instruction: Youll know it when you see it!

the East Ely Depot Museum, viewing the cultural homes in Renaissance Village, or taking a day trip to Great Basin National Park. And after

ANNUAL EVENTS
This Photo was

taken yesterday
Step back in time and experience a true history of
adventure. Home of the famous Comstock Lode, miners
became millionaires and their riches are still visible in
this 1800s era town complete with wooden boardwalks,
famous saloons, gold panning, quaint shops and fine
dining. Adventure abounds with exhilarating special
