Quick answer
Yes. Nevada runs a sales tax holiday: Nevada Day holiday in late October for National Guard members. Qualifying purchases skip the full combined rate, which runs 8.265%–8.375% in covered Nevada metros.
Holiday dates and qualifying item lists are set by statute and can change year to year. Nevada Department of Taxation publishes the official list before each holiday, including per-item price caps and whether local jurisdictions must participate.
