USA Today 10 Best Contest ends, winning city to be announced Wednesday
The voting deadline has ended for a USA Today contest where Carson City is among several vying for "best travel worthy state capital." As of Monday morning before the contest closed, Carson City had been leading in the reader poll.
The announcement will be made 9 a.m. Wednesday morning here. Along with bragging rights, the result of a win would provide a nice shot in the arm for local tourism.
Carson City's neighbor, Lake Tahoe, has won similar reader-generated contests in 2012 and 2014 for best ski destination and best lake in the the U.S.
USA Today online regularly asks readers to help pick the "10 Best" in a single category which can range from food, lodging and destinations to travel gear and things to do. Travel experts select the 20 top nominees and then readers make the final selections.
