Most of Nevada’s residents live in and around Las Vegas, roughly 75% of the state’s population. But beyond that bustling area, the Silver State is home to plenty of other attractive communities. While Nevada may be best known for its casinos, it also offers remarkable natural attractions like Lake Tahoe, Lake Mead, and Cathedral Gorge State Park. The local economy relies heavily on tourism, mining, and cattle ranching. And for those watching their finances, Nevada has a major perk: no state income tax for individuals or corporations.
