Despite being mainly comprised of arid desert, Nevada is not short on character. It is known for its leniency in laws strict in other parts of the country such as gambling and prostitution. No place better epitomises this than Las Vegas, one of the most singular cities in the world. ‘The Entertainment Capital of the World’, it is known for its casinos, shopping and theatrical performances. Nevada is full of natural riches despite its arid climate, with Lake Tahoe being amongst the most beautiful places in the country.
