Holidays in Nevada, The United States of America

Nevada is the gambling capital of the U.S. and a leading entertainment centre.

Gold now far exceeds all other minerals in value of production.

The main two industries are divorce and gambling. The state's leading agricultural industry is cattle and calves. Agricultural crops consist mainly of hay, alfalfa seed, barley, wheat, and potatoes.
