Tonopah, NV, the star-gazing capital of the world. Drove up there from Vegas back in February, even though it was a bit cloudy, still amazing view of all 5 visible planets, plus numerous shooting stars and at least one man-made object (ISS?) traversing the sky.

Thank You. Nothing as valuable as local knowledge.

I live just west of Tonopah. Very rural, very dark skies here. Clear tonight with no clouds, should be spectacular.

You are welcome in Reno anytime. Amazing stargazing 30 minutes from town. Tonapah is very good but it is a drive from anywhere.
