True Nevadans are a unique breed. We have managed to grow up and survive in extremely hot desert conditions that no man or woman should ever be forced to bear. We are strong, we are proud, and we have a perpetual farmer’s tan. That’s just how we roll (and I don’t mean at the Craps table). Here are eight bizarre experiences that every true Nevadan has had at least once.
