We get this question a lot. The answer, unfortunately, is no, it isn’t possible to get a Nevada driver’s license without completely relinquishing the license from your home state.
However, there is a "Seasonal Resident ID Card" available that will, in most cases, probably qualify a person to obtain the same locals’ discounts that those with a Nevada driver’s license can get.
The procedure to obtain one of these Seasonal Resident IDs is a little complicated. You must appear at a Nevada DMV office with the following documents in tow: current driver’s license (from whatever state), birth certificate, Social Security card, and, if applicable, a marriage certificate to validate any post-marital name changes.
You fill out the regular Nevada driver’s license application, except you check the box next to "Seasonal ID Card." Your picture is taken and your card is mailed to your out-of-state address in two weeks. (Since the card is mailed to the out-of-state address, obviously it won’t be very helpful for this trip to Las Vegas.)
The Seasonal ID Card must be renewed every 4 years for $12.
