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.
