Actually, "Area 51" is the code name for Grooms Lake Air Force Base, where they work on super secret projects (i.e. Stealth Bomber) which is why it's so remote and so secret, as well as a shoot on sight for trespassing. Also home of the largest runway, measuring 23,720 feet, but has since been closed.

And yes it is in Nevada, outside of Las Vegas. Check the coordinates if you are ever in doubt. (37°14′06″N 115°48′40″W).
