Southern Nevada is a region of Nevada. Most famous for Las Vegas, this region is also home to Area 51 (the site of classified military research and the subject of UFO conspiracy theories), beautiful rocky canyons, and barren desert landscapes. It comprises Clark County, Esmeralda County, Lincoln County, Mineral County, and Nye County.
Contains the Las Vegas Valley and the Las Vegas Strip.
Contains the sparsely-populated Esmeralda County, Lincoln County, Mineral County, and Nye County. Area 51 is located here, as are many mining ghost towns.
It's definitely good to have a car! Long barren distances in this large section of Nevada will make you appreciate that unless you are the hardiest of cyclists or walkers.
