Nevada Vacation Rentals
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when planning a Nevada vacation rental? Las Vegas, of course! Sin City is a playground for adults, full of shows, casinos, world-renowned cuisine, and something happening 24 hours a day. But a Las Vegas vacation rental isn’t all that The Silver State has to offer!
Nevada is full of treasures that don’t feature flashing neon lights – the state is home to the Mojave Desert, Death Valley National Park, and the Spring Mountains for outdoor enthusiasts. And in northeast Nevada is the rough, rugged cowboy country. And with Nevada being the driest state in America, you’ll have many opportunities for outdoor fun!
Start out in the capital of the state, Carson City, Nevada – this town offers a quick drive to the recreational haven of Lake Tahoe. The 50 mile Lake Tahoe drive around the rim of the lake is world renowned for its gorgeous scenery. Or walk the Kit Carson trail – this scenic trail is a walking path through historic homes that features over 60 separate historical landmarks. Explore the Pony Express Trail and the Lake Mead area, in north Nevada. Or try and crack the secrets of Area 51 in Nellis Air Force Base!
For the reveler in you, stop by Laughlin, Nevada during the holidays. Located right across the river from Bullhead, Arizona, the two towns are located in separate time zones and are one hour apart. Industrious partiers like to hit both towns and, effectively, ring in the New Year twice!
Mesquite, Nevada logs in around 300 days of sunshine a year – perfect for enjoying the town’s brand new 650 acre park. Sparks, Nevada is home to the Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off. And Pahrump, Nevada features some homegrown fun in the form of their farmer’s market and their Christmas festivals.
Finally, for those who can’t resist a little gaming during their Nevada vacation rental, opt for Reno. This Las Vegas alternative brings in tons of tourists for their Hot August Nights and the Great Reno Balloon Race! The local Truckee River is world renowned for its ample kayaking opportunities. And the "biggest little city in the world" has a bid in on the 2018 Winter Olympics – so cross your fingers! Maybe you can win a medal on your next Nevada vacation rental!
