State Mottoes

[Blaise (imported)]

I left Las Vegas one summer, during the day, riding my motorcycle toward Death Valley. I had to stop at every gas station, not for gas, but to wet down my clothes, trying to keep cool. Needless to say, they were dry again before I'd gone ten miles.

Actually, I've lived in both California and Nevada. I love Nevada and her deserts. They are bleak -- but they're beautiful, too. Although I've lived in Las Vegas, I prefer the northern part of the state.

A little test: What's the only town in Nevada that doesn't allow gambling -- and why do you think that is?

Boulder City does not permit gambling. I have no idea why.

Boulder City does not permit gambling. I have no idea why.

Boulder City was built to house the workers that built Boulder Dam (Now Hoover Dam). Because it was a Federal Government operation, they didn't allow gambling. As far as I know, Boulder City has simply decided to keep that distinction.
