I have not seen much of New Mexico or Nevada, but I hate driving through Nevada. When I was a kid we drove through and I thought "This place is so ugly someone should drop a nuclear bomb on it." When I was an adult I mentioned that and a friend smiled and pointed out they did.
I do not know why I dislike Nevada so much, but I actually plan on visiting Las Vegas, New Mexico.
