There are many things people from Nevada can’t live without. Some of these things may appear strange to residents of other states, but we’re not afraid to admit that we can’t live without the following 12 things:

  1. Las Vegas Strip

  1. Celebrating Their Day

This state holiday is recognized on the last Friday in October. It’s also the largest statehood celebration in the nation. Pretty impressive, huh?

  1. Lake Tahoe

  1. Gorgeous Mountain Views

  1. Shopping
