I'm totally bias, I was born and raised here so I really don't understand why people say anything bad about Nevada. I'm actually from Las Vegas and I'm not a drug addict, gambler, hooker, or mormon for that matter. I don't live in a hotel or anywhere near the strip either. Sure it gets too hot in the summer but the natives aren't restless, we're quite nice. I kinda feel bad for people who don't live here, we have 24 hour everything and you can't beat our 99 cent breakfast :)

Mormons, degenrates, brothels, and desert. I can see why the federal government uses this place to test its most lethal weapons of destruction that and silver mining. This is one state that lacks almost anything except an abundace of sunshine and air pollution i.e. Vegas

Can Nevadans hold out against the encroaching California hordes? No income tax is a big draw in any case. The natives must strive mightily against "Californication."

VIVA LAS VEGAS, RENO, SPARKS, LAKE TAHOE, CARSON CITY, HENDERSON, ELKO, PARADISE!!! A beautiful state with amazing scenery, tourism, gambling, fun, recreation, weather, and the politics are also amazing. No income tax, and even the liberals here are gun friendly. The perfect combination of the Old West and Glitzy Glamour. No other state in the U.S. is like it. It is PERFECT. Atlantic City is only a cheap pathetic replica. People ought to stop calling this place a polluted, sinful, nuclear dump, and focus on how marvellous it is here. Land is also very cheap. This is probably the most Libertarian state. It is one of the few states left where smokers can also be free from Those California Meatheads. ROLL THEM BONES!!!

This is my home state. Las Vegas is the best place to live. You won't be rushing to the strip every day if you live here but it is still pleasant. Reno is nice, but can get kind of cold in the winter. Carson City is full of weird western type hicks. Lake Tahoe is beautiful. Death Valley National Park is nice. All in all a 5-star state due to the beautiful scenery, nice climate and Las Vegas, a city totally unique in the world.

There IS more to Nevada than Vegas,but you have to like the desert and "dry" heat to enjoy it.Vegas is pretty obnoxious,and I can't even begin to imagine how much energy is wasted lighting up the glittering strip that is a lot like the prostitutes it is famous for.An OK place to visit,as they say-but I'd never want to live there.Nevada will be one of the first places where WATER will become a real problem.Human beings just do not want to take care of the Earth until it is so abused it can no longer sustain us.Nevada is very dry and very polluted-and an excellent example of what human greed and hubris can do to the environment.

Reno is a boring little haven for retirees from California to gamble. Lake Tahoe is a pretty lake that is good for recreation, but is overrated. The entire core of nevada consists of dead skeleton towns and is very bare and unappealing. The drive from Reno to Las Vegas during my drive there during the summer was long and dull. For some reason there has been unexplained cases of brain cancer in the small towns of central Nevada, hmmm I wonder why? Las Vegas is the only other major city in Nevada. While the strip is entertaining and clean (due to the mega-corps). It seems the strip has progressed from a dirty gambling spot, to a kids spot, and now a haven for the posh 20-30 somethings, hmm.. what will they try next? The outside neighborhoods are like sprawling headaches of strip malls and ghettos against hot asphalt. Henderson and West Las Vegas are for your retirees, cookie cutters, and your families. Beware Hoover Dam and their security checks. Outside of Las Vegas where prostitution is legalized you have scary towns, and Area 51 which is a evil secret of the government.

This state rates 49th out of 50 states for the 'intelligence' of its populace. Well there is some validity to this, believe me. Las Vegas is a dry overpriced plastic ersatz mecca of nothingness. Reno is not much better- and Carson City is a sorry dump- Tahoe is beautiful- but hardly redeems the remainder of this sorry state. Filled with deserts, poison from past nuclear testing, snakes and scorpions. And the water will soon run out- take your chances at the roulette wheel.

Aside from Lake Tahoe, a dusty radiated state, with garish LV as the epicenter, there is really nothing of beauty here.

A nice place to visit, but I definitely would NOT want to live there.... I enjoyed how much of the world is represented in this little city via the themed casinos; this aspect was quite fun. The area between the strip & downtown is quite dingey; it leaves a lot to be desired physically & spiritually.

The high felt as the plane passes over the Grand Canyon and then just ahead you see the lights of Vegas is undescribable. The pilot says we will be landing in Vegas in 20 minutes. And the lights get closer and closer and bigger and bigger. Then you land!! It's an amazing feeling walking off that plane. The sound of those slot machines and the advertisements for the shows gets me spyched. Waiting in that big line for a Cab and then finally getting driven to the hotel on the strip amidst the light is just incredible. Playing blackjack till 6am, drinking a vodka and cranberry. If I win enough money I may call one of those girls on the cards that are all over the place. Oh Vegas! Viva Las Vegas!! Viva Las Vegas!! Viva Las Vegas! As for the rest of the state I have no idea. I guess I should venture out. There's plenty of brothels outside of Clark County! Whoo!!!!!!!11 Whooo!!!!!!1

The desert moutains and scenery around Las Vegas is cool, as is Hoover Dam. Lake Tahoe is magnificent especially when you approach it from Carson City climbing up the mountains and at the summit the lake ringed by snowcapped peaks come into view. Breathtaking indeed. Aside from these attributes Nevada is a weird and ugly state. Just a lot of emptiness and dirt. Every sinlge town and city there is lives and breaths on gambling. Basically their economy is based upon ripping people off. Not cool.

Besides Las Vegas, Reno, Tahoe and the Carson City, Nevada is virtually uninhabitable. Las Vegas is fun if you like glitter, glamour, gambling, and a superficial culture at it finest. Reno is crap hole, besides the casino's in and around Virginia St the rest of the city looks like a giant stock yard. Tahoe is nice, although it could do without the Vegas touch as much of the focus is on should be on outdoor activities.

A barren landscape. Posion in the soil, with the garish metropolis of Las Vegas- which does not have the infrastructure to support the hordes of newcomers- which means it is one big botched up mess- this view is held by smart visitors and residents alike. Becoming vastly overpriced- the real estate market is being pumped up by greedy speculators. Not a bad place to live 30 years ago- it is not now.

Not much to Nevada, if you like gambling, smoking and drinking its great. There is some skiing and of course there is Lake Tahoe. Vegas is way better than Reno.

Gets a brownie point for the fun of visitin las vegas, but it got taken away by the unlivability of las vegas, and the rest of the state

I guess Las Vegas has redeeming value- if you like glitz and living in a desert that will soon run out of water. Hoover dam is interesting- I guess. Tahoe is very pretty.The rest of the state is a dry dust bin with radiation lurking from past atomic testing and nuclear waste storage.

I LOVE Las Vegas. You've got to be able to take the heat and the eventually annoying sounds of slot machines (at the grocery store, the 7-11, you name it). I'm not big on gambling but I do like the 24 hr. lifestyle that is a byproduct of the gambling industry. NOT A PLACE TO RAISE KIDS, people who are native to Vegas seem to have this warped sense of reality (everything is $$$). NO STATE INCOME TAX. I moved from Virgina to Vegas, taking a cut in pay and actually ended up taking more home. Don't know a lot about Reno (more expensive & exclusive than Vegas). Vegas is a very gritty place. There are street gangs (Bloods, Crips & Girson Park Kingmen (GPK - Black & Green)) in certain ares, be careful. Not a place for gambling addicts. There's always something to do if you want. Cost of living is relatively low for the West Coast, however the growth would disuade me from returning to Vegas. I lived there in the early 90's and recently for a couple of years. It's getting worse not better, congestion higher cost of living. I fear the Vegas that inspired all the growth maybe gone. The older and more mature I become, the less important Vegas' pros become (esp. now that I am in my child rearing years). I will still visit when possible, and dependant on Vegas' future I would definately consider retiring there if possible.
