Visit Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon and meet some unusual caretakers of the ghost town of Rhyolite. Participate in the world's largest female sporting event, the Woman's International Bowling Congress held in Reno. Visit a Chili Cook-off in Virginia City; the loneliest road in America; the historic city of Eureka with its famous Opera House; the Sand Mountain recreation area; and learn about the challenges of cattle ranching.

Customer Reviews

disappointing
this DVD is more like a TV magazine news show than a travel DVD. It's too expensive and you can get better information from watching The Travel Channel. Also, it advertises HD, but the video looks standard quality. It did not play on one of my players. I noticed that the DVD is burned by a computer rather than replicated in DVD plant.
