Nevada is one of the United States. Its capital is Carson City. Other big cities are Las Vegas and Reno.

Nevada became the 36th U.S. state October 31, 1864. The official state slogan "Battle Born", was adopted on March 26, 1937. It refers to the fact that Nevada became a state during the American Civil War. Battle Born is also one of three state nicknames; the others are "Sagebrush State" (the state flower) and "Silver State" (the state mineral).
