NEW IN NEVADA
From attractions in Las Vegas to expansions in
Reno-Tahoe to developments in rural Nevada, the
Silver State continues to evolve. Heres a look at
some recent projects:
LAS VEGAS
Bear Grylls Survival Academy opened an
Adventure Day Course in September 2015 in
Overton, about 64 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Shelter building, high rope work and a navigation
challenge in Valley of Fire State Park are among
the activities at the academy.
Casa de Shenandoah, the 52-acre Las Vegas
estate of Wayne Newton, opened September 2015.
Tours include an introductory video about Mr. Las
Vegas, a museum area that includes Newtons
private jet and classic car collection, an exotic
animal collection and Newtons mansion.
Jennifer Lopez will begin a headlining residency
Jan. 20, 2016, at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip opened a 350,000-square-foot expansion to its convention center
in August 2015, and plans a second phase of expansion that transitioned existing space into a 70,000-square-foot carpeted
ballroom. That project was completed in early 2016.
The Park, an eight-acre outdoor dining and entertainment district between New York-New York Hotel & Casino and Monte
Carlo Resort and Casino, is set to open in 2016. The Shake Shack, Bruxie gourmet waffle restaurant and Sake Rok, a theatrical
restaurant/late-night lounge, are among the businesses included in the project. The Park will open in conjunction with the Las
Vegas Arena, a 20,000-seat, $375 million indoor arena west of
the Las Vegas Strip between New York-New York and Monte
Carlo Resort and Casino.
Premium Outlets North, a retail destination at the intersection
of Interstate 15 and Charleston Boulevard in Las Vegas, opened
a 25-store expansion in mid-2015. Name brands CH Carolina
Herrera, Helmut Lang and Rag & Bone are among the new
retailers. In all, the center totals 685,000 square feet and 175
stores.
Speed Vegas, a new racecar driving experience on a 1.5-mile
track, is set to open March 2016 on Las Vegas Boulevard South,
about 11 miles south of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. Visitors
will be able to get behind the wheel of exotic and muscle cars,
including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Audis, Ford Shelby Mustangs

and Corvettes.
Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway, a 128-acre visitors center at 2525 Kyle Canyon Road inside Spring
Mountains National Recreation Area (also known as Mount Charleston), opened May 2015. About a
45-minute drive north of Las Vegas, this center has an education building, two amphitheaters, group
picnic sites and more than 40 miles of adjoining new trails.
The Moapa Band of Paiutes expanded its Travel Plaza in Moapa (off Interstate 15 and Valley of Fire
Highway) to include an events center/concert venue to accommodate monthly events along with the
Moapa Bands annual Fourth of July concert, which featured LeAnn Rimes and Bret Michaels in 2015.
RENO-TAHOE
Craft brewery Beer NV opened in August 2015 at 15 Foothill Road inside the South Creek shopping
center in Reno. The tap house, with 60 craft beers and four wines on draft, joins a host of craft breweries
and distilleries in the Reno area.
Edgewood Tahoe golf course on the south shore of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, will debut a new No. 9 hole
in 2015. The realignment of the No. 9 hole and other changes to the course are part of a project to open
the spectacular 154-room Lodge at Edgewood in 2017.
Heavenly Mountain Resort debuted a permanent climbing wall at its Epic Discovery center at the top
of the gondola in September 2015. Also opened in September: a childrens ropes course and zip line,
which will operate during the summer season. The resort also added a alpine coaster in November
2015 slated to be in operation during the 2015-16 ski season. The coaster is at the top of the gondola
and allows guests on individual sleds to descend on a raised track through forest and natural rock
formations. Heavenly also plans to open its mid-station zip line canopy tour in summer 2016.

The Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California is set to open a Travel Plaza in early 2016 in Gardnerville, part of a larger project
that will include a casino. The Travel Plaza will have a 6,000-square-foot convenience store and smoke shop and a fueling station.
An 18,000-square-foot casino is scheduled to open in summer 2016. The casino project is in partnership with the Poarch Creek
Indian Tribe from Alabama.
RURAL NEVADA
Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in the Amargosa Valley, about 90 miles from Las Vegas, opened a visitors center in
2015. Interactive exhibits on area wildlife, including the rare desert pupfish, can be found here.
The Elko Convention & Visitors
Authority completed a 29,000-squarefoot expansion to the Elko Conference
Center in late 2015. The expansion
added 19,000 square feet of meeting
space; in total the Conference Center
has 80,000 square feet, with 30,000
square feet of meeting space and a 913seat theater.
Holiday Inn Express and Suites opened in September in Pahrump. The 104-room property has a pool, fitness center and inroom Wi-Fi.
The Battle Mountain Band of the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada broke ground in August 2015, on
a new casino, hotel and travel plaza in Battle Mountain. The project will include a 150- to 200-room hotel, 200 to 300 gaming
machines, a convenience store and two fuel islands, one for big rigs and one for smaller vehicles. The project is expected to be
completed in December 2016.
NATIONAL MONUMENTS
Basin and Range National Monument, a
700,000-acre monument in Lincoln and
Nye counties known for desert valleys rich
with prehistory and recent history, was
established in July 2015. Managed by the
Bureau of Land Management, Basin and
Range currently does not have a visitors
center or facilities. Those interested in
visiting should contact the BLM.
Tule Springs Fossil Beds National
Monument, about 20 miles north of the Las
Vegas Strip, was established in December
2014. The 22,650-acre monument has sites
that represent geological periods from
200,000 years to 3,000 years ago. Currently
there is no visitors center or facilities at this
National Park Service-managed monument,
but those interested in visiting can find
information on the NPS website, nps.gov,
then searching in Nevada in the Find a
Park field.

Downtown Las Vegas exudes retro-funk from the cool neon at the El Cortez Las Vegas longest-running hotel and casino to
the old-fashioned malts, with prices to match, at the 1950s soda foundation of Tiffanys Caf.
Soak up some history with a stroll through two of Las Vegas most celebrated museums, the Mob Museum and the Neon
Museum. The Mob Museum is housed in the former federal courthouse where mob trials took place. The Neon Museum is an
outdoor collection of vintage neon signs spanning many decades of Las Vegas casino history.
Several mid-century-modern neighborhoods have withstood the test of time and reemerged as the place to live the Vintage
Vegas dream.
Paradise Palms, once home to Rat Pack stars and mob kings such as Dean Marty, Frank Lefty Rosenthal, Johnny Carson, and
Debbie Reynolds, is a community of 1950s lime green and sky blue single-story homes near the Las Vegas National Golf Course,
then known as the Stardust Country Club.
RETRO DIGS
You can deck out your home in midcentury dcor or find that perfect piece of retro art in this funky shop along Antique Alley
southwest of downtown. Shops include Retro Vegas, Vintage Vegas Antiques, Glam Factory Vintage, Lost Vegas Antiques, and
Sin City Pickers, just to name a few.

2016, AND NEVADAS OWN GREAT BASIN NATIONAL PARK TURNS 30. THIS
IS THE YEAR TO LOG SOME SERIOUS ROAD TRIP MILES AND REDISCOVER
AMERICAS NATIONAL PARKS.
There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its
charm, said President Theodore Roosevelt, conservationist and founder of the National Park Service. Thanks to his vision
and action as president, some of Americas most stunning, inspiring landscape is protected and maintained for public use.
Great Basin National Park, the only national park entirely within Nevadas borders, is still a youngster in park-years,
designated in 1986 and followed by only 10 parks since then. It is best recognized by the glacial Wheeler Peak, the tallest
mountain peak in Nevada, and the subterranean Lehman Caves.
Adventure-seekers can plot a route to the top of Wheeler Peak, best attempted in the late spring and early fall seasons.
But you dont have to be Bear Grylls to enjoy the rugged terrain of Great Basin; the paved 12-mile Wheeler Peak Scenic
Drive offers access to trail heads, camping, and picnic areas. The Bristlecone Trail is a moderate 5 1/2-mile roundtrip hike to
a grove of bristlecone pine trees, some as old as 3,000 years.
Great Basin National Park is on the eastern edge of Nevada, a five-hour drive from Las Vegas. Its often included as a
must-see on treks across Highway 50, The Loneliest Road in America.
On Nevadas southwestern edge is Death Valley National Park, arguably one of the most famous parks in the U.S. With
adjectives like hottest, driest, lowest, and names like Furnace Creek, Stovepipe Wells, Badwater, and Devils Golf Course,
one might be surprised that more than 1.1 million people venture into its protected lands every year, many from its eastern
border with Nevada.
Pahrump, one hour northwest of Las Vegas, is a perfect base camp for adventuring in Death Valley. From 24-hour casinos
and restaurants to new hotels, a JetPack experience, and two celebrated wineries, theres plenty to do in Pahrump after
spending a day exploring the natural wonders and oddities of Death Valley.

Nevada has a number of state scenic byways, from the lush Lamoille Canyon in the north to the sandstone sights of Red Rock
Canyon in the south. Three of the Silver States byways Eastshore Drive in north Lake Tahoe, the Las Vegas Strip at night and
Pyramid Lake in northern Nevada are national scenic byways.
Many of the scenic byways listed in the following pages are near state parks or sections of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National

Lovers travel from all over the globe to Nevada to take advantage of the myriad fun and unique wedding experiences offered
throughout the state. With beachside weddings at Lake Las Vegas or along the crystalline shores of Lake Tahoe, the state offers
a wide variety of natural settings for scenic outdoor ceremonies. Get married among desert dunes, with ancient petroglyphs as a
wedding backdrop, in a meadow filled with desert wildflowers, or underneath a prehistoric red sandstone arch.
But there is no place like Las Vegas, the marriage capital of the world, to get married. Here, enjoy the vintage, classic charm of
dozens of wedding chapels that line the Las Vegas Strip. Chapels range from those with Elvis impersonators and drive-through
windows to elegant venues in which the bride walks down the aisle bathed in the glow of Venetian glass windows.
Couples traveling to Las Vegas have many options, styles and price ranges from which to choose. Throw in a photographer,
custom floral bouquets, live video streaming and custom cocktails to make the day truly special. Private and chapel wedding
planners help couples select or customize a package of services that is just right. Venues include everything from the civil
marriage commission to small garden weddings to private venues around the valley to the luxury resort wedding chapels that
can get as lavish as the couple wants.

TRAVELNEVADA.COM
The Legalities
The nuts and bolts of getting married are simple and open to traditional or same-sex couples. There is no waiting period or
blood test requirement, but a license is mandatory. Couples must go to a county clerks office in the county of choice to obtain
a marriage license. Both parties must be present with proper identification. With the license in hand, head to the wedding venue
of your choice and exchange vows. The officiant will sign and file the marriage certificate and 10 days later, couples may request
the official document showing their marriage ($15). A Nevada marriage license may be used anywhere in the state. However, after
the ceremony, the marriage certificate will need to be filed in the county where the application was issued. The Marriage License
Application Fee varies throughout the state, between $60-$77.
Picture identification and proof of age is required.
Both parties must be over 18 years of age or have parental approval.
Each must know their mothers and fathers full name and state of birth.
Clark and Washoe county offices offer a pre-application on their websites to expedite the process. The Clark County
Marriage Bureau is three blocks south of the Fremont Street Experience and is open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily, including
holidays.Couples using the online pre-application (go to mlic.vegas to complete) in Clark County and zip in and out using the
express window at the main Marriage Bureau in Las Vegas and at the auxiliary locations in Henderson and Laughlin.
A marriage license is not proof of marriage and is valid for only one year. After a couple gets their marriage license, they must
make public vows in the presence of a marriage officiant and a witness. Chapels, private wedding venues and wedding planners
will be able to provide a licensed wedding officiant to preside over the ceremony.
Friends or family members of the couple who want to perform the ceremony must apply for a one-time Certificate of Authority
to Solemnize a Single Marriage Ceremony from the office of the county clerk. These applications must be submitted at least 30
days prior to the wedding date in order to be processed in time for the ceremony.
Some couples from other countries may be required to provide their country of origin witha copy of the marriage license and
an apostille (authentication
of signatures) to register a
marriage in a foreign country.
International tourists will need
to contact the Nevada Secretary
of State to order an apostille.

The whistle blows and steam unfurls from the engine. The conductor bellows the long-awaited words: All aboard! And youre

legendary holdups and robberies. Trains are as much a part of the Wild West as Billy the Kid. The lore crosses all boundaries:
language, geography, and age.
Nevadas history is told through its miles of rail ties, and through its collection of historic engines and boxcars on display at the
Nevada State Railroad Museums in Ely, Boulder City, and Carson City.
The Nevada Northern Railway in Ely offers visitors rides along the same routes that were built in 1905 to haul ore from nearby
mines. Walk through the East Ely Depot Museum, restored to its original 1907 appearance, and see original waiting rooms,
baggage storage, and offices used by one of the nations most important railroads.
Ride the rails behind the 1905 Baldwin Steam Locomotive No. 25 at the museum in Carson City. See the futuristic boat-inspired
McKeen Car, a national historic landmark and perfectly restored example of a rare self-propelled vehicle that used internal
combustion, or the newly restored Glenbrook steam engine, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Relive the early days of Hoover Dam in Boulder City on the Union Pacific Railroad Boulder Branch Line, commissioned in 1931.

North of the Black Rock Desert and Gerlach lies a remote soaking area, Soldier Meadows Hot Springs. These springs form a hot creek
in which man-made dams cause hot-tub-sized dipping pools to form. According to Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the area includes
seven semi-primitive camping facilities (parking areas and fire pits), a vault toilet, and trails that lead to the springs. The area also includes a
primitive cabin that is available for public use on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Because of approximately 60 miles of dirt road between the Black Rock Desert and the springs, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. BLM suggests people making the trip carry two spare tires. The area is very remote and can be difficult to find, but thats what

Berlin is a ghost town tied by the terrain to its closest neighbor, an ichthyosaur fossil site, and now known as Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park. The town,

The Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas are located in Primm, a 40-mile drive from the Las Vegas Strip. Many Las Vegas hotels offer shuttles to

Midtown Renos recent gentrification has brought with it a surge of new restaurants sure to impress any foodie in
your circle of friends.
Great Full Gardens opened in 2013 with a wholesome menu that caters to those with special dietary needs and those
who just want great, fresh food.
TRAVELNEVADA.COM
Sp keeps it simple with soups, salads, and sandwiches made from scratch daily. They use the freshest ingredients possible sourced from local farms and ranches. Vegetarian and vegan options abound
so no one is left out of the satisfaction of a hearty bowl of homemade soup.
Midtown Eats serves up rustic and comfort food for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Hearty dishes
like the bison burger or the falafel flatbread sandwich dont disappoint the hungry patron, while unique
starters like fried avocado slices and deviled eggs with kalamata olive tapenade are sure to whet your
appetite. Wash it all down with a choice of creative cocktails (lavender gin, honey syrup and lemon?
Yes, please!).
Las Vegas
Minimalist in style with maximum flavor, Mochiko Chicken is an Asian fusion caf a short 15-minute
drive from the Las Vegas Strip. Dive into the spice with the Sriracha chargrilled chicken bowl, or keep it
light with the coconut curry chicken bowl.
There are several burger joints in Las Vegas that can claim to be the best, and we wont
even try to decide between them. Instead, here are several that will not disappoint,
whether youre looking for a simple old-fashioned burger or a gourmet patty. Bachi
Burger, with three locations in the Las Vegas area, puts an Asian twist on the classic burger, while BLT Burger inside The Mirage allows you to choose your own
selection of gourmet toppings and sides. The king of culinary mean, Gordon
Ramsay, opened his own gourmet burger restaurant inside Planet Hollywood.
Burgr makes a statement with a fire-lined wall and omnipresent line at the
entrance, but everyone in line knows the wait is worth it. Ramsay never fails,
and his Burgr restaurant is no exception.
Whist Stove and Spirits at The District at Green Valley Ranch is an
affordable neighborhood restaurant whose price point belies the
exquisite caliber of its food. Open 24 hours, diners can try the
signature Spanish octopus served with chimichurri, jicama and
cilantro, or try the seafood hot pot with crab, shrimp and
mussels. Craft cocktails shaken (and stirred) by in-house
mixologists seal the deal as a true foodie find.

Basque
Traditional Basque restaurants dot the Nevada culinary landscape and are concentrated more heavily in the northern end of the state. A
Basque meal is usually served family style, so make friends with your neighbors or they wont pass the salad or beans your way. The fare
may vary, depending on whether the restaurant leans more Spanish-Basque or French-Basque, but you can be sure there will be at least five
courses leading up to your main dish.

JT Basque Bar and Dining Room in Gardnerville is about as down-home authentic as it gets. The large bar welcomes patrons into the
family before theyre ushered into a dining room that could be in any family farmhouse.
The Star Hotel in Elko is one of the most iconic Basque restaurants in Nevada, as demonstrated by the always-packed dining room and
line of cowboys and ranchers on bar stools tossing back picon punches. Be sure to order your steak or lamb Basque style, which comes
with a heaping helping of roasted garlic.
Louis Basque Corner and the Santa Fe Hotel in downtown Reno keep Reno on the Basque map with their authentic cuisine including
sweetbreads and roast lamb. Louis was featured on the Food Networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Always trust the locals! Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe is the locals favorite with 1,200 acres of terrain only 25 minutes from Reno. Visitors can take
advantage of a variety of ski-and-stay packages from Reno hotels. With the highest base elevation at the lake, Mt. Rose towers high above
Incline Village on the north shore and offers sweeping views of both Lake Tahoe and Reno.
Mt. Roses real claim to fame is The Chutes, double-black-diamond runs with some of the longest vertical in North America. For years, skiers risked their season passes by sneaking into this previously closed terrain because it is THAT good. Mt. Rose officially brought The Chutes
into its terrain in 2004 with designated gate entry only.

Hey, not all fun has to be found within the confines of a ski resort. Lake Tahoe is encircled by the Tahoe Rim Trail, 165
miles of trails that can be trekked by snowshoe in the winter months. If a DIY adventure isnt your speed, tour companies
located in and near Reno offer guided snowshoe treks throughout the season.
Want to create your own Norman Rockwell-esque memory? Book a sleigh ride with Borges Sleigh Rides, which offers
tours romantic and relxing along the south shore of Lake Tahoe and at Sand Harbor State Park on the north shore.
Need a faster pace? Zephyr Cove Resort on the southeast corner of Lake Tahoe runs snowmobile tours into the mountains 9,000 feet in elevation. Tours depart from Zephyr Cove, which offers snowsuit rentals, and include free hotel
shuttle transportation.

Northern Nevada
NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY
For the serious history buffs, this museum adjacent to the University of Nevada, Reno, is a gold mine of historical manuscripts, artifacts,
and collections. Make this your first stop if you want to really set the foundation for understanding Nevadas past and future.
NEVADA STATE MUSEUM
An underground mine exhibit, a life-size ghost town, the silver service from the USS Nevada, and a working coin press from the Carson
City Mint. Yeah, you could spend some time here. The State Museum is in downtown Carson City, an easy walk from the Capitol, the Governors Mansion, and the Kit Carson Trail walking tour. The coin press fires up once a month and on special occasions, providing a glimpse into
early American coin making and the Comstock Mining boom.

NEVADA STATE MUSEUM
Nowhere is the range of Nevadas history more prominent than at the Nevada State Museum in Las Vegas. Here you can walk by a sound
wall of native animals, muscle a handcar along a virtual track, and round a corner into a room of showgirl costumes and Rat Pack relics. See
items from Howard Hughes residency at the Desert Inn, or listen to the detonation of nuclear bombs that were tested in the Nevada desert.

The states industrial development through mining and transportation are

MUCH OF IT IS JUST WAITING TO BE CLAIMED. IT JUST
MIGHT TAKE SOME INGENUITY AND DETERMINATION AND A STURDY
ROCK HAMMER.
Opals
The Virgin Valley deep in the northwestern corner of Nevada is not easy to get to, but the payoff is big. Sage-covered valleys, jagged rock
cliffs, and natural hot springs await the rugged adventurer. Commercial opal mines welcome visitors to mine their tailings for a fee and
dig out luminous opals and the rare black opal, found in only two locations in the world (the other is in Australia).
Amateur rockhounds, intrepid travelers, and memory-making families can be found in the mine quarries poring over rock piles in search
of the precious gemstones.
The mines that allow digging are Royal Peacock, Bonanza, and Rainbow Ridge. The digging season typically starts in May, and if you go,
be prepared for primitive camping and limited services. This trip has all the makings of a true adventure: gravel roads, spotty cell service,
and few people.
Turquoise
Nevada is the second largest producer of turquoise in the U.S., and you can find it for yourself at the Royston Turquoise Mine near Tonopah. Digging sign-ups are at Ottesons Royston Turquoise Mine, conveniently located in the Mizpah Hotel. Group tours are driven out to
the mine, and then miners are turned loose with the instruction: Youll know it when you see it!
78
TRAVELNEVADA.COM
When you return to the Mizpah with your loot in hand, you can pay to have the resident jeweler to turn the brilliant blue stones into oneof-a-kind jewelry. This is the definition of unique you can bet that no one else in the world will have the same ring!
Garnet Hill
Garnets
Just a few miles west of Ely is a small recreation area called Garnet Hill, and its free to the public, just bring your own hammer. Rockhounds can look for the deep-red gemstone peeking through weather-worn rocks, or break open rocks to look for the gems inside.
Because Garnet Hill is so close to Ely, its a fun addition to Elys other attractions such as riding the Nevada Northern Railway, visiting
the East Ely Depot Museum, viewing the cultural homes in Renaissance Village, or taking a day trip to Great Basin National Park. And after
chasing your fortune (in fun) at Garnet Hill, you can feel like a real miner when you order a beer at the Historic Hotel Nevada that night with
a heavy lump of pay dirt in your pocket.

No doubt youve heard of Burning Man, the event celebrating art, self-expression and self-reliance held the week before Labor Day in
the Black Rock Desert, about 100 miles northeast of Reno. Every year, as summer turns to fall, tens of thousands of people descend on the
desert playa to form Black Rock City, to create and enjoy large-scale art installations and to participate in a grand experiment in creating
community.
Photo by: BLM
For those interested in attending, preparation is key. Tickets are slated to go on sale early in the year; visit the Burning Man website,
www.BurningMan.org, for more information. Youll need to bring everything you will need to survive a week in the desert, including water,
food and shelter. With the exception of ice and coffee, nothing is available for sale at Burning Man. More information, including the Survival

Check out the Nevada Museum of Art in downtown Reno, Nevadas stage for a variety of traveling exhibits including Maurice Sendak,
Frida Kahlo, Toulouse-Lautrec, Andy Warhol, and Picasso. Permanent collections follow thematic lines Altered Landscape Photography,
Art of the Greater West, Contemporary Art, and the Work Ethic offering a wide range of art and media to even the most casual museumgoer.
Some of the most robust art collections in southern Nevada are found where else in casino resorts. The Fine Art Gallery at Bellagio
brings world-renowned names like Faberge, Warhol, OKeefe, and Monet to the glitzy Las Vegas Strip. Picasso can be found at the restaurant of the same name in the Bellagio, and Leonardo da Vincis life and work is on display at the Venetian.
Nevada and neon just naturally go together, which is why the Neon Museum in Downtown Las Vegas has become one of the most visited
art collections in Nevada. Neon signs from Nevadas yesteryear are on display in an outdoor gallery that takes visitors through the history of
gaming in the Silver State.
Near the eastern entrance to Death Valley sits the ghost town of Rhyolite, a collection of wood and stone ruins and a brilliant outdoor

Only 72 miles to the north of Rhyolite is the town of Goldfield, where a few holdout residents keep it from becoming a bonafide ghost
town. One local artist is putting Goldfield back on the map with his installation of painted cars planted in the desert. This exhibit is known as
the International Car Forest of the Last Church, and is a photographers dream.
