This list of tallest buildings in Nevada ranks buildings in the state of Nevada by tallest height. This list, which includes buildings with a minimum height of 250 feet (76 m), features the 57 tallest buildings in the state, starting at 260 feet. The tallest structure in the state is the Strat tower in Las Vegas, with a height of 1,149 feet (350 m).[1] The tower, located north of the Las Vegas Strip,[1] is also the tallest observation tower in the United States.[2] Because the tower is not fully habitable, it is not considered a building.
The tallest building in the state is the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, with a height of 737 feet (225 m); the building was topped out in November 2008,[3] but was put on hold the following year,[4] and eventually opened in 2023.[5] Up to that point, Nevada's tallest completed building was the 50-story Palazzo, which stands at 642 feet (196 m) and was completed in 2007.[6][7] Outside of Las Vegas, the tallest building is the 38-floor Silver Legacy Resort & Casino, located in Reno and completed in 1995, with a height of 410 feet (120 m).

Notes
edit- ^ a b c According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, freestanding observation towers are not considered to be buildings, as they are not fully habitable structures. These structures are included for comparative purposes.
- ^ Excluding a rooftop sign added in 1967, the tower stood 297 feet (91 m). Various sources provide different measurements for the tower's total height, ranging from 328 feet (100 m) to 364 feet (111 m). See here for further information.
