Nigerian consulates in Nevada
Nevada does not appear in any published Nigerian district. Las Vegas has a visible Nigerian community and the nearest office is the Embassy in Washington, a coast-to-coast flight away.
Which office covers Nevada
Nevada appears in no published consular district. Nigeria names the jurisdictions of its two consulates general and says nothing about the fifteen territories left over, so the Nigerian Embassy in Washington, D.C. is the practical answer rather than the official one.
The number, so you do not have to go looking for it: (202) 800-7201, ext. 100.

- Consular registration, a form that costs nothing and takes minutes
- Emergency Travel Certificate, posted to the consulate, with no counter visit
- Dual citizenship rules, worth reading before you take the US oath, not after
