The Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs is a state government agency in Nevada that focuses on the promotion and regulation of Nevada's tourism and cultural industries and landmarks.
[1][2] The department was the result of a merge between the existing commission on tourism and the Nevada Department of Cultural Affairs.
[4] The latter published the Nevada Magazine, which has been in circulation since 1936 after it was first published by the state highway department under the name Nevada Highway and Parks.
[6] The current structure of the newly merged department was put in place following a 2011 Nevada statute.
Within this structure, the commission of tourism remained as a separate entity under the supervision of the Nevada Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs.
