Nevada - The US Explained
Summary
No state in the country has seen, or even come close to, the shockingly high population explosion Nevada experienced over the past half century. Las Vegas, a small roadside stop, has become the engine of its rise, a city unmatched in America in its extravagance and opulence. A place that could barely have been described as a city in 1960 is today the twentieth largest urban area in the country. Outside of Las Vegas, outside of Reno, Nevada looks much the same as it would have in 1960. Dry, barren, remote. A vast, empty desert, whose lonely roads wind through one of the most sparsely populated places in the country. This is The US Explained, Episode 37 - Nevada.
