Nevada is the ideal destination for a holiday that has it all.

Nevada is the ideal destination for a holiday that has it all. Try your luck at Las Vegas’ 24-hour casinos or explore the red-hued, rugged rocks at the spectacular Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, just minutes from the sparkling lights of the Las Vegas Strip. Whatever you love to do on holiday, take your passions to the next level in this unique destination.


A real heaven for outdoors lovers and budding adventurers alike, Nevada boasts stunning natural wonders waiting to be explored. From climbing to cycling and endless photo opportunities, surround yourself with nature and breath-taking scenery whilst trying something new or taking your usual cycle ride up a notch. If relaxation is more your forte, Nevada has an array of secluded, serene spots sheltered away from the hustle and bustle of city life. For dreamy aromas of lavender, Campie’s Lavender Patch is the perfect choice; for blissful relaxation surrounded by panoramic views, head to some of Nevada’s naturally occurring hot springs and let your worries drift away.


If you love culture and history, Nevada has you covered too: Goldwell Open Air Museum is a one of a kind outdoor sculpture park situated near the ghost town of Rhyolite, which is a fascinating attraction itself after more than a century without residents. To immerse yourself in more Nevadan history, Goldfield is the place to be to discover how the town transformed from a mining camp to an infamous site of the last gold strikes in the American West. Tonopah is home to the Tonopah Historic Mining Park and Central Nevada Museum, as well as the famous geological marvel of Monte Cristo’s Castle and the supposedly haunted Goldfield Hotel. Due to its remote location, you can even see the Milky Way from Tonopah. For more out of this world experiences, head to the renowned Extra-terrestrial Highway and stop off at Rachel, the ‘UFO Capital of the World’, near the elusive Air Force testing facility better known as Area 51. To make the most of your trip, pause at Tonopah, Rachel and Goldfield on your way to Lake Tahoe.


Lake Tahoe is home to everything from seasonal snowshoe tours to shoreline yoga with unparalleled views. From golf to hang gliding and a vast choice of water sports, trips and tours making the most of the area’s natural charm, there’s something to suit everyone.


Foodies will adore Nevada’s culinary scene. Lucky Spur Saloon in Kingston Canyon has been named the ‘Best Bar in the Middle of Nowhere’ by Men’s Health; the Booze District near the Las Vegas Strip hosts artisan businesses specialising in spirits, wines and beers. Whether you prefer international flavours or American dishes made with local ingredients, Nevada caters for all tastes.


Last but by no means least is Las Vegas, the largest city in Nevada with a global reputation. Five-star resorts, fine dining, upscale boutiques and an unrivalled entertainment scene make Las Vegas the destination of dreams. Shop until you drop at The Forum Shops, Caesars Palace; soak up some desert sun at a resort pool or enjoy some quality family time together at attractions such as Siegfried and Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. Artists with residencies in Las Vegas include iconic artists, with everyone from Cher to Celine Dion and many more big name artists. For a holiday with everything from adventure to entertainment, Nevada is an obvious choice. With so much to explore, you’ll want to return as soon as possible.
