STATE OF THE STATE ADDRESS
The State of Nevada, encompassing over
110,000 square miles, is a land of vast
natural beauty, economic diversity, and
cultural vibrancy. Known as the "Silver
State" for its historic mining legacy, Nevada
today is equally recognized for its dynamic
cities, rugged outdoor landscapes, and spirit
of independence. Anchored by metropolitan
hubs like Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada also
offers a rich tapestry of rural communities,
tribal lands, and open desert that reflect its
deep Western roots.
Home to more than 3.2 million residents,
Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states
in the nation. The state features no personal
income tax, a favorable business climate,
and year-round recreational opportunities-
from world-class entertainment and dining
to hiking, skiing, and stargazing beneath
some of the clearest night skies in the U.S.
With over 300 days of sunshine annually in
many regions, Nevada's climate ranges from
the dry heat of the Mojave Desert to the
four-season beauty of the Sierra Nevada.
The state is also home to Lake Tahoe, Great
Basin National Park, Red Rock Canyon, and
more than 800,000 acres of state park land.
Nevada balances innovation and tradition,
offering a high quality of life, a growing
emphasis on sustainability and technology,
and a commitment to preserving the natural
and cultural richness that makes the state
truly one of a kind.
