Introduction
Nevada became the United States thirty-sixth state on October 31, 1864. The capital is Carson City. Nevada means "snow capped" in Spanish. Ironically, the Silver State is also the largest producer of gold in the nation. The Nevada Constitution was sent by telegram in Morse code from Carson City to Washington D.C. in 1864. The transmission took hours. Today, Nevada is best known for the gambling capital of the world: Las Vegas, the state's largest city. There are more hotel rooms in Las Vegas than anywhere else in the world. Nevada is ranked 7th in size with a land area of 109,806 square miles.
