| NEVADA is the most desolate state in the nation, consisting of endless tracts of bleak, empty desert. Apart from mining and grazing cattle and sheep, much of Nevada is under the control of the military, which use it to test aircraft and weapons systems. Although, there is one good reason to visit Nevada, and that is to gamble, in the bizarre oasis of Las Vegas. Even the smaller and more down-to-earth cities of Reno and the state capital Carson City revolve around the casino trade.
