Outdoor recreation fuels the Nevada economy. A new state report says there’s a $24 billion impact
Outdoor recreation in Nevada and the Tahoe Basin supported over 75,000 jobs and generated $24 billion in economic benefits in 2023, surpassing federal estimates by nearly threefold.

- The report found $8.1 billion in intangible benefits, including over $2 billion in health-cost savings and consumer surplus in Nevada's rural counties, NDOR Administrator Denise Beronio said.
- Report authors recommend establishing a dedicated outdoor recreation trust fund and workforce development to support outdoor businesses and operators, referencing Assembly Bill 331 and Senate Bill 21 .
- While recreation exceeds mining's $5.1 billion contribution, the Nevada state report found it still trails gaming and tourism's $36.9 billion, amid federal land-sale debates earlier this year.
