NVPC is your human‑powered guide to casinos, travel, local resources, and real‑world Nevada life.
Who We Are
​​Nevada Players Club (NVPC) was created and is published by me, Jeff Young— a longtime broadcaster, occasional “Masked Gambler” (in the event of a pandemic), and full‑time explorer of the Silver State. In 2019, after many years spent hosting TV and radio shows across the country and around the world, I decided to make Southern Nevada home and to establish Las Vegas as headquarters of NVPC.
​​​
In Spring 2025, NVPC also became the online home of the Nevada Locals Club, expanding our mission to support not just visitors, but residents and newcomers alike.
​
What We Do
NVPC is designed as a one‑stop resource for anyone who loves Nevada — whether you’re visiting, planning to move here, or are already living the Silver State life.

Lottery Players! Make a Run for the Border if You Want Tickets
Nevada has no state lottery, so we provide links to the Arizona, California, Idaho, and Oregon lotteries. The closest sales outlets near Nevada borders are:
​​​
-
Nearest Vegas (West): The Lotto store at Primm, the Chevron station at Yates Well Rd (49 miles from Vegas), the Cima Road Shell station (62 miles east of Vegas) in Nipton, or the Country Store in Baker, CA, (about 95 miles west of Vegas). UPDATE: The Lotto store at Primm will soon close permanently along with the entire Primm resort. Then again, who knows, maybe a smart company or person will reopen the store. We'll stay on top of it.​
-
Nearest Vegas (East): Last Stop Travel Center, White Hills, AZ - 65 miles east of Vegas.
-
Nearest Mesquite, NV (Northeast): 10 miles east on I-15 to Beaver Dam, AZ
-
Nearest Laughlin, NV: Directly across the river in Bullhead City—the Dockside Mini Market on Hancock Road.
-
Nearest Reno / Tahoe: The 7‑Eleven at 3671 Lake Tahoe Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA — the first store on the California side as you head west on US‑50.)
-
Nearest McDermitt, NV: Head north on 95 to Jordan Valley, OR - about 30 min.
-
Nearest Jackpot, NV: Head north about 8 minutes on Hwy 93 to Hollister, Idaho.​

​If you win, we even break down lump sum vs. annuity options in our blog.
We don't consider ourselves to be influencers. We’re not a slot channel, exactly.
We just have fun sharing experiences and exploring new angles on life in the Silver State.
