このコンテンツについて
They call it the Silver State, but Nevada has always dealt in stranger currencies: dust, neon, scandal, and spectacle.
This is not your high school history. From atomic showgirls and quickie divorces to Burning Man billionaires and desert survivalists, Nevada has built its reputation on contradictions. It is a place where nothing should have thrived — not mining camps, not casinos, not cities in the middle of nowhere — and yet everything did, in the most outrageous ways possible.
In this book, you’ll meet miners who gambled away fortunes before breakfast, mobsters who turned Vegas into a playground, politicians who looked the other way, and dreamers who set fire to wooden effigies in the desert just to see what would happen. It’s wild, irreverent, often ridiculous, and always uniquely Nevada.
Whether you’re a history buff, a road-tripper, or just someone who loves a good story, this book will show you the state behind the slot machines. Nevada isn’t just a backdrop. It’s the main act.
