We asked readers which well-known Nevada experiences they had participated in. Swimming in Lake Tahoe's famously clear, famously cold water was far and away the most common experience for poll respondents.

Many lifelong New York City residents will say they've never visited the Statue of Liberty. Similarly, San Franciscans will say they've never been to Alcatraz or been on a cable car.
