Since the start of 2025, after 8 years of focusing on Cities across the nation that our hosts Robert & Mary Carey have personally visited, we altered the popular “Destination Spotlight” series of the show to focus on States, doing it alphabetically.  That meant Alabama was first and it occurred on Jan 18th 2025, followed by Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th, Arkansas on Mar 1st, California on Mar 29th, Colorado on Apr 26th, Connecticut on May 10th, Delaware on May 31st, Florida on Jun 14th, Georgia on Jun 21st, Hawaii on Jul 12th, Idaho on Jul 26th, Illinois on Aug 9th, Indiana on Sept 6th, Iowa was Sept 20th, Kansas on Oct 18th, Kentucky on Oct 25th and Louisiana on Nov 1st, before we turned to the “M” named States with Maine happening on Nov 22nd and Maryland on Dec 6th.  Then the calendar flipped to 2026 with The Careys beginning the year traveling for 25 days on the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Miami to Los Angeles, that had them transiting the Panama Canal as a way to supercharge our America 250 coverage, before they picked up with Massachusetts on Jan 31st 2026.  Michigan followed on February 7th, Minnesota on March 7th and then Mississippi on March 28th.  Then came the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Park City, and upon returning from those Utah travels, it was time for Missouri on April 18th 2026.  Montana followed on May 9th, and as we moved into June 2026, Nebraska got its turn to be showcased on June 6th, before we turned our attention to Nevada.  During the live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio Show on June 20h 2026, Rafael Villanueva, the CEO of Travel Nevada joined the show to talk-up the Silver State.

Nevada is the most Mountainous State in the Nation, it’s well known for its Gold and Silver and you’ll find more Natural Hot Springs in America’s 36th State than any other!  Most people immediately associate Las Vegas or perhaps Reno when thinking about Nevada, but we say don’t sleep on Lake Tahoe!  Red Rock Canyon and Hoover Dam are both well worth visits, as are Great Basin National Park and Lehman Caves.  Las Vegas is the largest city in Nevada by far, and it’s enjoying a healthy rebound in Tourism for 2026 that we see continuing for the foreseeable future.  It’s also evolving nicely into a major sports destination with the NHL Golden Knights, NFL’s Raiders and soon MLB’s A’s…  F1 has also just extended its commitments through 2037!  You can click here to access the detailed recap of our big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Las Vegas that occurred from Wynn Las Vegas back in 2022.
