Accept "Colorado" and "Hoover"? (It might also pay to note that half of Lakes Mead and Tahoe, as well as half of Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, are in neighboring states)

For most famous TV show I tried Vegas, Vega$, and Pawn Stars. Didn't even think about CSI.

The Sonoran desert definitely does not extend into Nevada. I've done the drive from Tucson a few times, and there is a pretty distinct transition as you leave the Sonoran desert on the way to Vegas.

Who fought Manny Paquiao? That's the best we could do for a question inherently about Nevada? I have several possibly topics infinitely more appropriate: nuclear testing, 'Battle Born', MGM fire, Binions/Rio home of World Series of Poker, McCarran Airport, other NV cities (Winnemucca, Elko), Reno's nickname, and any trivia about any of a dozen well-known casinos.

What makes any of those subjects "more appropriate" than a showdown between two of the most skilled and talented athletes of their generation?

(Or are you one of those who believes that athletic history is somehow "not culture"?)

Neither were born there. It was just a (cashgrabbing) fight.

They are actually related to Nevada. The Pacquiao fight could have happened anywhere on earth, the only reason I know it happened in Vegas is that I happened to be in town that weekend. There is a lot of history that is much more Nevada-related than that fight.

I think there is some good Nevada stuff missing. The Killers are from Nevada, and it's where the Bundy standoff occurred. Some fun Vegas trivia is that Celine Dion has the highest-grossing Las Vegas residency in history. She actually has two separate residencies, which are #1 and 2 respectively. You could also use Reno's slogan, "The Biggest Little City in the World" alongside the Vegas quote.

With BLM being part of Interior, should that count? I don't have a problem with it if it doesn't.

Interior is a department. BLM is an agency within the department.

Mayweather is contemplating coming out of retirement for a rematch against Pacquiao. I hope they fight in Vegas--I'm looking forward to "The Geezers at Caesar's."
