Miss Nevada USA
The Miss Nevada USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Nevada in the Miss USA pageant.
While Nevada did well in the early years of the Miss USA pageant, they only placed once from 1987 to 2000. This streak was broken by Gina Giacinto's finalist placing in Miss USA 2001. Many Miss Nevada USA titleholders previously competed in the Miss Teen USA and Miss America pageants. Six titleholders previously held the Miss Nevada Teen USA title and three held the Miss Nevada Crown in the Miss America Pageant.
Nia Sanchez of Las Vegas became the first Miss USA ever from the state of Nevada when she was crowned Miss USA 2014, who placed first runner-up in Miss Universe 2014 to Paulina Vega of Colombia.
Victoria Olona of Paradise was crowned Miss Nevada USA 2020 on January 5, 2020 at South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas. She will represent Nevada for the title of Miss USA 2020.Gallery of titleholders
