Nevada is a state located in the western United States, best known for its widespread legalization of gambling and gaming industry.
Nevada's nickname is "The Silver State" or "The Sagebrush State", and the state's motto is "All for Our Country". "Home Means Nevada" by Bertha Rafetto is the state song. The phrase "Battle Born" is on the state flag; "The Battle Born State" is the official state slogan, as Nevada was admitted into the union during the American Civil War.
Although the name is derived from the Spanish word nevada meaning "snowy", and Las Vegas "The Meadows" the local pronunciation of the state's name is not IPA: [nəˈβɑdə], but IPA: [nəˈvædə]. In 2005, the state issued a specialty license plate via the Nevada Commission on Tourism that lists the name of the state as Nevăda to help with the pronunciation problem.
