Tips:

The capital of Nevada is Carson City.  The state's most populous city is Las Vegas.

Large parts of Nevada are desert; the air is hot and dry.  If you suffer from seasonal allergies, hate humidity, and love the sun, Nevada is a terrific state in which to live and teach.

Politically, economically, and socially, Nevada is a mixed bag. 

The recession has put a halt to a lot of the growth in Las Vegas, but the city is still doing well.

In certain areas, particularly large cities like Las Vegas, there are significant immigrant communities of English language learners.
