at your service…72 years and beyond

Just because everything is different doesn’t mean that everything has changed.—IRENE PETER, American writer

For 72 years, Nevada Magazine has been telling the Silver State’s story. The latest in a long line of editors, I consider it an honor to guide a publication steeped in tradition. Our loyal readers should know we take our past just as seriously as our present and future.

In March/April 2007, Nevada Magazine introduced a redesign. Even though the look and feel is different, rest assured our mission is not. As Nevada’s official travel magazine, our goal—to educate readers about the state’s attractions, culture, history, and events—remains the same. We want you to know we’re open to your comments and ideas. In turn, you’ll notice that we’re making subtle adjustments.

If this is your first look into our world, welcome.

In our annual golf issue, we look at the latest golf news, cover a free-swinging event in Mesquite, and provide all the info you need to hit Nevada’s greens. We also stroll, hike (see the adventurous editor above), and even race across the Silver State. Accompany us through Las Vegas’ 18b art district, discover some nature trails just outside the city limits, or take a ride down memory lane as we recount the path of the 1908 Great Race through Nevada, including Tonopah and Goldfield.

You will notice in our May/June issue one of our newest features: a full-page Nevada map to give you an idea of the scope of our expansive state. We’ve extended our Notable Nevadan feature into a People section and added Your Nevada, a closing image chosen by our art department. Then, there’s yours truly, here to give you some direction before you delve into each issue.

Finally, please peruse our award-winning Web site, nevadamagazine.com. Here, you’ll find Letters to the Editor, the most complete guide to Nevada events and shows, Web Extras (stories not available in print), and other bonus material. Our social commentary function allows visitors to share their thoughts. We view our Web site as an extension of our magazine, and we hope you will, too.

In print and online, join us as we continue to tell Nevada’s story.
