Nevada

Things to Do in Boulder City, Nevada
The town of Sparks in Nevada is one of the suburbs just outside of Reno. In addition to being a great base for exploring the area, Sparks also offers plenty for visitors to do itself.
While both casinos and gambling are synonymous with Nevada, so are a multitude of other adventures.
Nevada was more than I expected. Beyond the bright lights and desert stretches, I found quiet towns, strange beauty, and moments that stayed with me long after I left. I remember thinking, “There’s a stillness here—if you stop chasing, it finds you.”
What stayed with me weren’t just the places, but the contrasts. A neon sunset after a long drive. Art blooming in the middle of nowhere. Solitude that felt like company. Whether I was walking through ghost towns or sharing stories around a campfire, Nevada offered something real beneath the surface—and I took my time finding it.
Whether you’re drawn to desert skies, natural wonders, wild art, or places that feel a little off the map, these guides are shaped by what moved me most. Nevada has layers—some loud, some silent—and all worth listening to.
