Welcome!
I'm Jeff Young, the editor & publisher of Nevada Players Club. After hosting TV & Radio shows across the nation and around the world for many years, I decided to permanently park my headphones in Southern Nevada and establish Las Vegas as the headquarters of NVPC.
​​​​Our main goal at NVPC is to help you plan your Nevada adventure by providing convenient one-stop access to key information you need to help make decisions about when & where to visit.
If you're not "just visiting" but have made your home in the Silver State, the site is for you, too, of course. In my experience, people who live near tourist attractions visit them less often than out-of-towners do. That was the case for me during my radio DJ nomad days, when I put down stakes in 20 different cites over the course of several years. I would think to myself, "I live in New York. I can visit the Statue of Liberty anytime." I never got around to it.
​​​
Secondary to providing key travel-related info for all is what to do once you're here. We focus on casinos & play strategy, but we also review places to eat and explore a variety of recreational activities across the Silver State.
​​
If you do nothing else on this site, I encourage you to read our blog: "Hey, Player - having fun yet?" to learn ways to maximize your Silver State playtime, while minimizing temptations & threats.
​
We produce videos of visits to hotels, casinos, restaurants, and a variety of places people love to play in the desert, parks, canyons, & hillsides of Nevada. There's more to see and do in the Silver State than you may realize.
If there is something or somewhere in particular you want us to make a video of, let us know.

WHERE CAN I BUY LOTTERY TICKETS?
​
Lottery tickets are not for sale in Nevada. Players must leave the Silver State for tickets. As a courtesy, we link to the Arizona, California, and Idaho lotteries, since they serve bordering states reachable within an hour, give or take, of the Nevada line.
Our drop-down and pop-up menus include links to the Lotto Store at Primm and the Last Stop Travel Center in White Hills, AZ, about 70 miles east of Vegas.
​
The Primm store on the CA-NV border, about 43 miles west of Vegas, is open 10am-5pm most days (check the link for updates). Last Stop is always open, however, lottery tickets are NOT sold in AZ between Midnight & 4am, not even from a vending machine, as mandated by state law.
From Reno, the nearest California Lottery sales locations are in Floriston and Truckee. From Lake Tahoe, NV, cross over the state line into South Lake Tahoe, CA for tickets sold in over a dozen locations, including 7-11's, gas stations, liquor stores, and Safeway supermarket. Find more locations here.
The Idaho lottery outlet closest to Nevada is in Hollister, about 27 min. north of Jackpot, NV.
​
View our videos "Big Bucks Border Run 1 (AZ) " and "Border Run 2 (CA)" to see where we go to buy tix when the jackpots are huge.
​
​​​​​​​​​​​Check your Mega Millions, Powerball, and California SuperLotto Plus tickets to see if you won anything.
​
