There's more to Nevada than just Las Vegas. A lot more. Nevada has several top-rated desert nature parks, including Valley of Fire State Park and Gold Butte National Monument. There are giant water reservoirs to play on, and many excellent museums to peruse through. If you head north, you can explore some of the wildest country in the lower 48. Nevada also holds the Burning Man event, the premier artistic, self-expression annual festival in the world.

BEST TOWNS & CITIES TO VISIT IN NEVADA
|
These towns and cities in Nevada are generally regarded as the most interesting to travelers:
✮ Ely - a small town famous for its mining and stagecoach history; the eastern edge of the "loneliest road in America" (US-50); railway rides
✮ Las Vegas - a major city with many mega-casinos, resorts, and museums; access to tons of outdoor recreation (e.g. hiking, climbing, boating)
✮ Reno - billed as "the biggest little city in the world"; has several casinos and lots of neon lights; a generally cheaper alternative to Las Vegas; close to Lake Tahoe and all of its attractions (e.g. natural beauty, sking/snowboarding, hiking, etc.)
My favorite city in Nevada is Las Vegas. If you'd like to visit and focus mostly on gambling, eating, and drinking (which most visitors seem to do), I recommend only staying for a few nights (maybe 3-4?). If you want to also enjoy the other attractions of Las Vegas, including outdoor activities, shopping, thrill attractions, and museums, I recommend staying for a full week
Virginia City and Elko may also be worth visiting, but I haven't been there yet to confirm whether it is or not. I know there is a small historic district in Virginia City and at least a few attractions in that area (including a mine tour).
If you are planning on visiting Reno, you might as well also visit Lake Tahoe in California since it's so close.
If I could select only one place to visit in Nevada, I would choose either Las Vegas or Valley of Fire State Park.

There are two official national parks in Nevada, plus many other federally-managed parks and properties, including:
National Parks
✮ Death Valley National Park - only a very small amount of this park is in Nevada (the rest is in California)
✮ Great Basin National Park - famous for its ancient bristlecone pine trees, the Lehman Caves (tours available), dark skies, and mountain scenery
National Monuments

If you enjoy hiking, I would plan on spending at least 2-3 days exploring Great Basin National Park. If you aren't as interested in hiking, one full day might be enough for the park (and that would include a guided tour of Lehman Cave).
For more information on many of Nevada's national parks, visit the Nevada page of the National Park Service. Take note that this state page on the NPS website typically doesn't include federal properties managed by the BLM, which sometimes includes some of the wilder and more remote national monuments.

Nevada has more than two dozen state parks. Many would agree that these represent Nevada's finest state parks:
Flagship / Premier State Parks:
✮ Cathedral Gorge State Park - fascinating geology, including dramatic spires
✮ Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park - scenery along the northeastern shore of Lake Tahoe
✮ Valley of Fire State Park - NV's most beautiful natural landscapes; one of the finest state parks in the U.S.; outstanding hiking & scenic views
Other Notable State Parks:
✮ Kershaw-Ryan State Park
✮ Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park - great scenery along the northeastern shore of Lake Tahoe, including Sand Beach
✮ Spring Mountain Ranch State Park
My favorite state park in Nevada is Valley of Fire State Park. The scenery is simply world-class, especially once you start exploring from White Domes Road. This state park could easy be upgraded to a national park if the state of Nevada wanted the federal government to take control of it (they don't). I would peg Valley of Fire State Park as a top 10 state park in the U.S.. The park is also only 1 hour northwest of Las Vegas. When you visit Las Vegas, try to convince your hungover friends to rent a car and explore this park for a day. When I go, I always stay at the North Shore Inn and spend 2 days exploring the park. I've spent probably 5-6 days so far in the park, and I still have more on my list to see there (mostly off-trail stuff).
Cathedral Gorge is another outstanding state park. I haven't seen interesting geology quite like this anywhere else in the U.S.. This state park is 2 1/2 hours north of Las Vegas.
You only need a few hours to explore this park, although camping there would be pretty awesome. I haven't done that yet.

BEST SCENIC DRIVES IN NEVADA
|
Here is a list of the best scenic drives in Nevada:
✮ Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway - a seasonal 12-mile paved route that climbs to 8,800 feet in the beautiful Ruby Mountains
✮ Las Vegas Strip - a 5-mile paved drive on Las Vegas Boulevard through the heart of Las Vegas; it's all man-made, but it's fascinating!
✮ Mount Charleston Scenic Byway - a 36-mile paved route using several highways in the Spring Mountains west of Las Vegas
✮ Red Rock Canyon Backcountry Byway - a 13-mile paved route (one-way) through the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
✮ US-395 from Bradys, CA to Reno, NV - a 327-mile paved route through the Eastern Sierria mountains
✮ Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive - a seasonal 12-mile paved route in Great Basin National Park
✮ White Domes Road, Valley of Fire State Park - a 6-mile paved route through the most beautiful section of this 5-star rated state park
Some people may also enjoy the Extraterrestrial Highway, which travels 147 miles from Crystal Springs to Tonopah. I don't think the scenery is all that great, but there are a few alien-focused roadside attractions and signage along the way. I think the best section is probably from Crystal Springs to Rachel.
Nevada also has the "loneliest road in America" (US-50), which travels from Carson City to Great Basin National Park. It really is a very quiet road, but it's not all that scenic. There are some interesting diversions you can find off of it, including ghost towns.
Discover great scenic drives across the country with my Best Scenic Drives in the U.S. guide.

BEST RAIL TRAILS IN NEVADA

BEST AMUSEMENT PARKS IN NEVADA
|
Nevada only has a few amusement parks. The best amusement parks in Nevada include:

✮ Big Apple Coaster, outside New York-New York Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas
✮ Cowabunga Bay Water Park, Las Vegas - formerly known as Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas
✮ Wild Island Family Adventure Park
In my opinion, none of these are of national significance. But that of course doesn't mean you can't or won't have fun at these places.
|

To find more hikes in Nevada or to learn more about the hikes I've listed above, I recommend purchasing hiking guidebooks on Amazon (or from your local retailer). Another option is using AllTrails, but you have to be very careful when using that website as its information is sometimes wrong or incomplete. Published hiking guidebooks will likely always be significantly better than the information you find online.
Visit the Bird & Hike website for many more great southern Nevada hikes.
