Re: Going to Tahoe

The law was thankfully amended in 2007. There aren't any grandfathered laws under Nevada's preemption anymore, except for Clark County's requirement that pistols be registered by residents of the county by their 60th day of establishing a domicile.
Among the changes were NRS 244.364, 268.418, and 269.222, which were amended to state:

Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, the Legislature reserves for itself such rights and powers as are necessary to regulate the transfer, sale, purchase, possession, ownership, transportation, registration and licensing of firearms and ammunition in Nevada, and no county, city nor town may infringe upon those rights and powers.

Further, NRS 244.364, 268.418, and 269.222 state:

The governing body of a county/city/town may proscribe by ordinance or regulation the unsafe discharge of firearms. If the governing body of a city in a county whose population is 400,000 or more has required by ordinance or regulation adopted before June 13, 1989, the registration of a firearm capable of being concealed, the governing body shall amend such an ordinance or regulation to require: (a) A period of at least 60 days of residency in the city before registration of such a firearm is required. (b) A period of at least 72 hours for the registration of a pistol by a resident of the city upon transfer of title to the pistol to the resident by purchase, gift or any other transfer.

Lastly, Section 5 of Chapter 308, Statutes of Nevada 1989, at page 653, was amended to read as follows:

The provisions of this act, as amended on October 1, 2007, apply to ordinances or regulations adopted before, on or after June 13, 1989.
As long as you carry openly, you'll be fine in Nevada. I myself wouldn't carry in California, even if I felt I knew every last one of their crazy unconstitutional laws.

Edit - A very helpful point to remember: "concealed" in Nevada means "concealed on the person" in a literal sense. You can carry concealed in your car as long as your weapon isn't concealed on your person itself; glove box, console, briefcase, etc., are all OK.
