Known as the "Silver State" for its historic mining legacy, Nevada today is equally recognized for its dynamic cities, rugged outdoor landscapes, and spirit of independence. Anchored by metropolitan hubs like Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada also offers a rich tapestry of rural communities, tribal lands, and open desert that reflect its deep Wes tern roots. Home to more than 3.2 million residents, Nevada is one of the fastest-growing states in the nation. The state features no personal income tax, a favorable business climate, and year-round recreational opportunities-from world-class entertainment and dining to hiking, skiing, and stargazing beneath some of the clearest night skies in the U.S. With over 300 days of sunshine annually in many regions, Nevada's climate ranges from the dry heat of the Mojave Desert to the four-season beauty of the Sierra Nevada. The state is also home to Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, Red Rock Canyon, and more than 800,000 acres of state park land. Nevada balances innovation and tradition, offering a high quality of life, a growing emphasis on sustainability and technology, and a commitment to preserving the natural and
cultural richness that makes the state truly one
of a kind. Nevada Health Authoritv- Nevada Medicaid Division
