Time in Nevada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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. Other than these minor exceptions, Nevada is the only non coastal state to be entirely on Pacific Time.

Mountain Time is also unofficially observed in the following Idaho border areas:[1]
