We always have a blast exploring Nevada’s wild past, but we also love celebrating new beginnings. Take a look at some attractions, activities, and accommodations that are new to the Nevada scene this year.
Highlights
Nevada is one of the most incredible places to get outside and play, explore, and get away from it all. Of course, these days, some things are a little different. Here’s what to consider before you come camping and adventuring, and what to know when you do.
READ ONOfficially dubbed an “International Dark-Sky Park” due to its nearly non-existent light pollution, Great Basin National Park recently opened a new Astronomy Amphitheater with the galaxy as the main event, with programs to be shared in this new space in 2021.
Pinkies up at Eureka’s historic tea house, where you can now sip away while hearing stories of the past, including of guests who reportedly never “checked out.” In the fall, take a guided tour of this Victorian Era gem, or check in any time to one of nine elegant rooms, all done up like they were back in 1877, when it was built and billed as Nevada’s only fire-proof hotel. Turns out it wasn’t, but it was rebuilt in 1880 and beautifully restored to its former glory in 1998.
Dubbed as “America’s Most Beautiful Bikeway”, the long awaited Tahoe East Shore Trail is not only a spectacular way to recreate at North America’s largest alpine lake, but also provides direct access to public beaches, coves and trails along the picturesque Nevada shoreline.
When you think hotels and hospitality, you think Nevada. Las Vegas alone boasts more than 160,000 rooms—more than any other city in the U.S.—and just added more at one of the swankiest properties to open in Downtown Las Vegas in years.
But recently, it’s not just what’s “new” to the scene, but also what has rejoined it, with a couple of gorgeously restored hotels, both originally built in the 1900s—one in a former bank building, and one which now serves killer tacos.
It’s A Date!
