2. During the late 1800’s, Nelson was extremely remote at the time with the nearest law enforcement in Hiko, NV about 200 miles away. This created lawlessness in true Wild West fashion with many prospectors being Civil War deserters with Renegade Indians hiding out in the canyons. After some time, the minors formed factions between Northern and Southern sympathizers which led to more feuding in the canyon, and killings, which at one point was everyday. There was a renegade Indian named “Queho”who was reportedly Nevada’s first serial killer near the area whose last killing was near the Techatticup Mine in 1919. Nelson was rebuilt after 50 years of inactivity with many buildings being restored to resemble the old mining town. Nelson was also used for two motion pictures, both starring Kurt Russell, Breakdown (1997) & 3000 miles to Graceland (2001). Since then, Nelson has been a destination for wedding photography, photo shoots, and a historical stop on the way to the Colorado River.

3. The Techatticup Mine Tour is one-hour and 0.25 miles long on gravel that is only one level. This is the oldest mine, and richest, in Southern nevada from 1861 to 1945, where you will see the quartz veins the gold and silver were mined from. The name “Techatticup” derives from the Paiute Indian word for hungry, a term often heard by early settlers from the starving Indians inhabiting the Dry Hills.

About Las Vegas

Oasi di neon nel deserto del Nevada, Las Vegas è nota per resort a tema, spettacoli e vita notturna, con canyon e parchi vicini.

Lo Strip, un lungo viale di resort, è il cuore dell'azione, con repliche di Parigi, Venezia e dell'antico Egitto, fontane danzanti e osservatori e giostre adrenaliniche molto sopra la strada. Gli spettacoli vanno dai numeri acrobatici circensi e di magia alle residenze di concerti, e i ristoranti di chef stellati sorgono accanto a sontuosi buffet.
