Nevada's Economy is primarily based on tourism. Although its population is growing at a rate faster than any other state, the population is sparsely separated because of how big the state is. The state could thank the gambling and resort industries that are centered in Las Vegas for most of its economy. Reno and Lake Tahoe are two other places that offer many things for tourists, but gambling is the number one source of revenue for the state, especially because of the taxes. Aside from gambling, Nevada leads the industries in copper mining, the production of gold, silver, and mercury.
