Mostly for Las Vegas and it's gambling. But there is Lake Tahoe, famous for it's blue color, Burning Man, an art event in the Black Rock Desert, the Sierra Nevadas, a mountain range, the abundence of geothermal power there, the unlucky Donnor Party, and just the overall desertyness of the place.

The great state of Nevada is historically famous for having become a member of the union during the American Civil War. It is for this very reason that the statement BattleBorn is prominently displayed upon a golden yellow scroll above the star, and above the state's name, on their state flag.

Nevada is also historically famous for it's location in the western part of the United States, with it's rich silver and other mineral deposits.

Nevada's first historical settlement is Mormon Station.

The ill-fated Donner Party that had resorted to cannibalism in 1846 had just passed through the Nevada territory and then found themselves trapped by the weather in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

The state of Nevada is diverse. It is perhaps best known for vast deserts in its basin-and-range geography, large-scale water development at Lake Mead, active gaming and entertainment industries, Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada, testing of atomic weapons and military stealth aircraft, somewhat unique laws for divorce and prostitution, no income tax, the Burning Man event, and several fast-growing cities including Las Vegas and Reno. Natural features commonly known in the state include wild horses and burros, Lehman Caves, Great Basin National Park, part of Death Valley National Park, and large alkali flats. in a way, perhaps the most commonly known thing about Nevada is a sense of mystery as to what is there of interest, but visitors are often surprised at what they find.
