✈️ Travel from Southern Nevada:
Highly Encouraged: Take the Bus!
Nevada Boys State strongly encourages all delegates from Southern Nevada to ride the bus provided by the American Legion. This is the most convenient and reliable transportation method, and it’s completely free of charge.
We charter one to two buses depending on registration, and they are reserved specifically for Southern Nevada delegates.
Bus Departure:
🕛 Thursday, June 12th, 2025 at 11:55 PM SHARP
📍 American Legion Post 8 – 733 Veterans Memorial Dr., Las Vegas, NV 89101
Please arrive by 11:30 PM to check in and load your luggage.
Bus Return:
🕚 Friday, June 20th, 2025 at approximately 11:00 AM
🚌 Expected arrival in Las Vegas: around 7:00 PM
🛫 Flying to the Program (If Necessary):
Delegates may fly only if they are unable to ride the bus. If you choose to fly, please keep the following in mind:
-
Flights must arrive in Reno before 9:00 AM on Friday, June 13th, and
-
Return flights must depart after 2:00 PM on Friday, June 20th
-
NBS cannot accommodate flights outside these time frames.
-
You may fly with any airline.
📧 Once booked, send your itinerary to [email protected]. We will:
-
Provide airport pickup and drop-off
-
Check you in for your return flight 24 hours in advance (to secure an A boarding pass if flying Southwest)
📝 Note: Delegates flying to Reno are responsible for purchasing their own airfare. Again, if you’re from Las Vegas, please take the free bus—it’s safer, simpler, and allows for a smooth group experience.
🚗 Transportation from Rural Areas:
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide transportation from Ely, Elko, or other rural locations. If you’re in need of a carpool arrangement, please reach out to us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help coordinate with other families.
