If they do they usually don't touch the ground. So a tornado touching down in Nevada would be an unexpected weather event. We do get strong winds, and sometimes those winds via with the Santa Ana wind in speed and strength. When Mark Twain visited Nevada, he referred to what he called a "Washoe Zephyr"1, which he described as a dust cloud that hide an entire city. The wind blowing at 50 mph carries the desert with it.

Spring Weather Spring is a wonderful time of year it can rain in the Las Vegas valley and snow on Mount Charleston. The wind can blow so hard that it moves the desert from one side of Boulder Highway to the other.
