You won't be able to watch the upcoming eclipse from Nevada, because it will be nighttime in Nevada when the eclipse occurs. I'm sure you'll be able to see pictures and video on TV or the Internet as it happens, however.
Total solar eclipses visible from the continental United States are rare. I believe the next one will be in 2017, but unfortunately it will pass well north of Nevada. If you want to see an eclipse, you usually have to travel a bit.
On Wednesday, July 22, 2009, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses half of Earth. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in India and crosses through Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar and China. After leaving mainland Asia, the path crosses Japan's Ryukyu Islands and curves southeast through the Pacific Ocean where the maximum duration of totality reaches 6 min 39 s. A partial eclipse is seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of eastern Asia, Indonesia, and the Pacific Ocean.
On Wednesday, July 22nd, there will be a total solar eclipse, visible only from Asia, the South Pacific, and a small portion of Hawaii. It is expected to last around 6 minutes and 38 seconds.
