Made up of mostly mountains and desert, Southern Nevada is known for its hot, dry climate, Las Vegas, and access to the Colorado River – including Lake Mead and the Hoover dam. You’ll be able to hit the town at night to see a show, go to the river for recreational fun, or visit one of the ghost towns that dot the landscape throughout the state. One of the fastest growing areas of the country, Las Vegas offers affordable housing, a growing economy, and a variety of events and attractions to take part in. It may be hotter than average, but you’ll always have something fun to do.
