Nevada, the desert place that once was sand, but now is a place of pleasure for seekers of riches, a place where couples tie the knots, and the climbers pace the volcanic mountains in the panaroma of scenic desert land, filled with the awesome cloud of mystery.
Just beyond the outskirt from Nevada, in Northern Arizona, stands the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world, a sight not to be missed. Fly over by jet plane or helicopter and then go on a land tour to see the great canyon of America, which boast of volcanic mines, as well as being a national park and a forest reserve.
Not too far distant away is another place not to be missed, the Hoover Dam, one of the seven wonders of the engineering/modern world. It is the fact of its early architecture expertize in the 1930s that make its name of being a wonder of the world.
Nevada is also known for its conventional meetings throughout the year, as well as a place for
riches seekers in the many casinos of Las Vegas.

corner of the street, in every hotel, is a wedding chapel. It is said that Las Vegas is a
paradize to tie the knots. Accomodation in Las Vegas is plentiful, and depending on
