Nevadans
Residents of Reno
Nevadans are residents or natives of Nevada, a western U.S. state known for Las Vegas and legalized gambling.
The word follows the Spanish pronunciation of the state name, with the second syllable rhyming with "add" rather than "odd": Nevadans take their state's pronunciation seriously.
