Alan, that would introduce inconsistency, since for Mountain time,
represented by Denver it says

"Nevada border (Jackpot, Owyhee, and Mountain City)"

and then West Wendover wouldn't be covered anywhere.

I suggest to keep "most of Nevada", but to amend the comments for the
Nevada part that is on Mountain time, so the exceptions are only
mentioned at one place.

More info the exceptions at:
