Nevada (1999)
Nevada passed their law to apply only to counties over 400,000 population and only to water systems in that county that serve a population of 100,000 or more. This applies to 4 water systems in Clark County [Las Vegas]. The law also requires an advisory question must be placed on the ballot in that county at the general election of November 7, 2000, to question if fluoridation of the water should cease in any water system in that county. State regulations required water systems in Clark County to fluoridate by March 1, 2000. Fluoridation passed in November 7, 2000. It requires the fluoride level to be maintained between 0.7 mg/L and 1.2 mg/L. It also exempts any well that is less that 15% of the total average annual water production of the water system. The law also required a referendum to be held in Clark county on November 7, 2000 to determine if fluoridation should be discontinued. Fluoridation was approved on November 7, 2000. Nevada, which had passed a law in 1967 requiring a public vote before fluoridation, changed their law in 1999 to mandatory fluoridation in all counties with populations greater than 400,000.

No, sorry, NV does fluoridate. In fact, NV is 1 of 13 states that mandates water fluoridation, not letting localities choose.
I didn’t know about Clark and Lyon counties, but it looks like washoe county doesn’t?
Ah, ok. From the fluoridealert.org page:

Yes, thanks for this…I thought it was the whole state! But another sin in Vegas, right?
Ha ha, right. Not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, since fluoride isn't east to flush out of the body.
