The Nevada statute that prohibits bomb threats is Nevada Revised Statute section 202.840. N.R.S. 202.840 prohibits using the mail, the telephone, written notes, the telegraph, radio broadcasts, or any other means of communication to send an illegal bomb threat.
The statute prohibits using any of these means of communication to willfully make a threat concerning an attempt, or an alleged attempt, that is being made to kill, injure, or intimidate any person or to unlawfully damage or destroy any building, vehicle, aircraft, real property, or personal property using explosives, bombs, spring traps, or other mechanisms that are commonly considered to be dangerous to human life, limb, or safety.
The statute also prohibits making use of any of these means of communication to maliciously convey false information, with knowledge that the information is false, about an attempt or alleged attempt to kill, injure, or intimate people or to damage any property by means of an explosive, bomb, spring trap, or other device that is dangerous to human life, limb, or safety.

If you violate the laws in N.R.S. 202.840 by willfully making a threat or by maliciously conveying false information about the threat of a bomb or other device that is dangerous to people, you could be charged with a category B felony offense. The punishment for a category B felony offense under N.R.S. 202.840 is a minimum prison term of at least one year and a maximum prison term of up to six years. You can also be fined as much as $5,000 in addition to the prison sentence that you could face if you are convicted of making a bomb threat.
Because you face the potential for a minimum term of imprisonment if you have been convicted of this offense, it can be especially important to do everything possible to avoid conviction since there is little opportunity for leniency after a guilty verdict even if there are mitigating circumstances in your particular case.
