National Geographic Votes Las Vegas Number One Adventure Town

Las Vegas has not been voted the number one city to live in, or even the number one tourist destination --- lately. Then what is the reason that National Geographic voted Vegas Number one? --- Adventure! Oh, yeah, baby! Gambling, shows, great restaurants,cruising the strip, right?

Nope, not quite. The National Geographic voted Vegas number one for opportunities to participate in all kinds of outdoor activities within a short distance of Vegas: hiking, boating, mountain biking, skiing, rock climbing, to name a few. And just as OJ is not only a breakfast drink, Vegas is not just for gambling anymore.

A secret has been revealed that we local have known about for a long time: Vegas is a good home base for outdoor adventure beyond the city limits.
