With the most mountains in the contiguous USA, Nevada is a study in opposites. From the Loneliest Road in America (US Route 50) to the audacious hoopla of Las Vegas, and Death Valley to Lake Meade, the contrasts are so striking it's hard to believe they exist within in the same state. Whether you're drawn to the tranquility of Lake Tahoe, the nation’s largest alpine lake, or the spectacular colors of the rock formations in Valley of Fire State Park, you'll find unlimited experiences awaiting your discovery on a pet friendly trip to Nevada.

Best Time To Visit

The shoulder seasons are the best time to visit Nevada with pets. March and April are very pleasant, with daytime highs in the 70s and plenty of sun. October and November are also nice, with weather similar to spring. Unfortunately, this is the peak travel season, making hotel deals hard to find. The middle of summer sees the cheapest rooms rates Las Vegas, Reno, and other Nevada towns but, due to the extreme heat, this is a dangerous time of year to visit with pets. Winter can also bring some good deals on lodging if you visit before or after the Christmas and New Year holidays.
