Current time in Nevada
Pacific Time UTC−8 · statewide except West Wendover
Nevada's time zone
Nevada runs on Pacific Time — PST (UTC−8) in winter, PDT (UTC−7) in summer — with a single official exception: the border city of West Wendover, which the US Department of Transportation moved to Mountain Time in 1999 so it could share a clock with adjoining Wendover, Utah.
Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, and Carson City all match California's clock, keeping the state's casino floors, flight boards, and event schedules aligned with its biggest visitor market. Along the Idaho line, the small town of Jackpot unofficially sets its clocks to Mountain Time for its Idaho customers, though Pacific Time remains its legal zone.

Frequently asked questions
Is every Nevada city on Pacific Time?
All but one. Las Vegas, Reno, Henderson, and Carson City keep Pacific Time; the border city of West Wendover officially observes Mountain Time so its clocks match adjoining Wendover, Utah.
What is the time difference between Nevada and New York?
Nevada's Pacific Time cities run 3 hours behind New York all year. When it's 9:00 AM in Las Vegas it's 12:00 PM in New York. Full chart: PST to EST.
Does Nevada observe daylight saving time?
Yes. Nevada springs forward to PDT at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday of March and falls back to PST on the first Sunday of November — dates on the DST page.
