Dadad asked:


I am currently doing a presentation about Nevada. My teacher has given me a few requirements I must include. One of them is “What makes your state special?” I could not find an answer from the internet or my books. Could someone tell me? I believe it’s that Nevada is a great gambling state because of Las Vegas and many other casinos.
