Nevada
On October 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th state to join the nation. With a population of about 2.7 million people, Nevada is the 35th most populated state. The capital is Carson City and the largest city in Nevada is Las Vegas. Over 2/3 of Nevada residents reside in the Las Vegas metro area, making it a good choice for finding a Personal Injury Lawyer. The tourism industry provides a large portion of Nevada’s employment, thanks to gambling and the ease of marriage (and divorce). Mining also contributes to the job market, as Nevada is the world’s fourth largest producer of gold. Nicknamed the Silver State and the Sagebrush State, Nevada’s state bird is the Mountain Bluebird. The state reptile is the Desert Tortoise and the state flower is Sagebrush.
