Time in Nevada
Almost all of Nevada is in the Pacific Time Zone (UTC -8). The few exceptions that exist all observe Mountain Time (UTC -7) and are close to the borders of Idaho or Utah.
Mountain Time is officially observed close to the border to Utah in:
- West Wendover, making Elko County, Nevada one of the few counties in the US that is split between two time zones.
Mountain Time is also unofficially observed in the following Idaho border areas:[1]
- Jackpot for the convenience of tourists from Idaho[2]
- Owyhee and the rest of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation[3]
- Mountain City because of its proximity to Owyhee[4]
