Fun and Interesting Facts About Nevada and Nevada Day

/in , , , /by

There’s nothing more beautiful than Nevada in the fall, with crisp burnt orange leaves, crystal clear lakes, and stunning mountaintops. With its rich history and vibrant culture, Nevada is a beautiful place to visit and live. There is always something interesting to learn, a new exciting event around every corner, or one of Nevada’s iconic celebrations like the beloved Nevada Day. 

Fun Facts About Nevada

State bird: Mountain Bluebird

State flower: Sagebrush

State tree: Bristlecone Pine

State animal: Desert Bighorn Sheep

Highest point: Boundary Peak

Quirky Nevada Facts 

Nevada is most commonly known for its vast deserts, thrilling casinos, and bustling nightlife, but the Silver State holds much more than meets the eye. Here are some little-known facts that set Nevada apart.  

  • Las Vegas is home to over 150,000 hotel rooms, more than any other city in the United States
  • The Extraterrestrial Highway, otherwise known as State Route 375, is a famed highway running through Nevada, from Tonopah to Alamo. This 98-mile highway has been noted as a hub for UFO activity.
  • Nevada’s nickname “The Silver State” is due to its abundant gold production, actually marking it as the state with the largest gold production and fifth largest across the country.
  • Blue jeans were invented in Reno.
  • The oldest North American human mummy was discovered right in Nevada’s backyard.

Nevada Day

And, of course, we’d be remiss to discuss Nevada’s incredible culture and heritage without drawing attention to one of its most notable holidays – Nevada Day. Held annually on the last Friday of October, this holiday celebrates our unique and beloved state’s entry into the Union in 1864. While it has always been an important milestone to the state’s inhabitants, Nevada Day became an official state holiday in 1933 and has since become an incredible annual celebration among locals and visitors alike.

There truly is something special about this beautifully unique state. If you’re interested in calling this place your home, let us help! Contact The David Morris Group to find your dream Nevada home!

It’s Not Easy Being Green

/in /by

David Morris Group-Its Not Easy Being Green-Reno Nevada-St Patricks Day Celebrations

On March 17th – if it’s not green, it’s not happenin’!  In the United States, the festivities surrounding St. Patrick’s Day include all things green – green clothes, green party décor, and, of course, green beer.  Today all it takes to make an emerald ale is just a couple of drops of food coloring, but a century ago, when Americans first hailed the green brew, the ingredients were a wee bit toxic!  The first introduction to green beer happened in New York City around 1914, and as the story goes, a club owner wanted to make his St. Patty’s party more festive by making everything he served the color of the lucky Irish – including his hops.  However, the secret ingredient to his green concoction was just as shocking to his partygoers as the color of the drink itself.  He used an iron-based laundry whitener called “Wash Blue” to turn the drinks green, and as he assured his patrons there wasn’t enough detergent to cause them harm, their concerns seemed to lessen with every emerald sip!  Luckily he was right, and not only did his guests live to die another day, but the colorful tradition that this bar owner came up with was here to stay!  

 

If you’re looking to go out and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year, Reno, Sparks, and the Lake Tahoe area all have Irish pubs where you can enjoy the day in style.  You’ll find Irish food and drinks, live music, Irish dancers, and maybe even bagpipers, depending on where you go.  

Irish Pubs and Bars in Reno Irish Pubs and Bars in Sparks
Ryan’s Saloon and Broiler O’Skis Pub & Grille
Lucke’s Saloon Paddy and Irene’s Irish Pub
Shea’s Tavern
Shenanigan’s Olde English Pub Irish Pubs and Bars at Lake Tahoe
Ole Bridge Pub Auld Dubliner Irish Pub Palisades Tahoe
Filthy McNasty’s Irish Bar McP’s Taphouse Grill

Be sure to contact the venue before March 17th to confirm their hours of operation and COVID considerations.

 

No matter the color of your beer this St. Patrick’s Day, remember to drink responsibly!  The RTC is marking its 18th year of providing its FREE Safe RIDE Program to help people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day responsibly.
