Aerial view of the Nevada Test Site. Terrific11x14 inch glossy photo poster: The Nevada Test Site (NTS) is about an hour north of Las Vegas on U.S. 95, near Area 51 and the Nellis Air Force Base Gunnery Range. Today, tour buses bring visitors to explore parts of its 680 square miles, but during above-ground testing, nuclear blasts were a major attraction. The flash could be seen from Las Vegas and sometimes even Los Angeles. Tourists would wake early to watch the horizon light up, while the boldest drove north for a closer view. NTS remains an active nuclear facility, required to be ready for testing within 24 months. At its peak, over 100 busloads of workers arrived daily. From 1951 to 1992, 1,021 nuclear detonations occurred, with only 126 above ground.
