Extra tips

• Nevada Day: While the actual date of statehood is October 31, Nevada law mandates the holiday be observed on the last Friday in October. This makes it the perfect time to head to the mountains or enjoy a Halloween escape.

• Family Day: While most of the U.S. calls it “Black Friday,” it is an official state holiday here in Nevada known as Family Day. Quick reminder that most state and local government offices (and many school districts like CCSD) are closed.
