What is the best hot springs resort in Nevada? 

Did you know that Nevada is the hot springs capital of the United States? That’s right! The title is ours, not Colorado’s or Wyoming’s. We’re pretty excited about that, and we’re not the only ones – Nevada is a hotspot (see what we did there?) of amazing hot springs resorts, and it’s almost impossible to choose one that we’d say is the “best”. Of course, if we base the title on the most popular, beloved resorts in the state, it might get a little easier. Some of the most popular (therefore, arguably “best” hot springs resorts in Nevada include the amazing 1862 Hot Springs and Resort, which you can find between Reno and Carson City. It was originally built in – you guessed it – 1862, and features a plethora of relaxing springs in which to soak and forget all your troubles. Also outside of Reno is the world-famous Steamboat Hot Springs, which was named by none other than Mark Twain himself. There are lots more... but we think you get the idea.
