Nye County offices, courts close for Memorial Day, fireworks site opens
County offices, courts and the animal shelter will be shut Monday, while Pahrump residents still have holiday access to fireworks disposal, pool hours and early voting.
County and Town government offices in Nye County will be closed Monday for Memorial Day, and courts will shut down with them, leaving residents to finish routine business before the holiday ends the workweek. Emergency service offices will also be closed, though field operations will continue as normal, and the Nye County Animal Shelter will be closed as well.
The county’s holiday schedule places Memorial Day on the last Monday in May, and the closure will affect day-to-day access across Pahrump, Tonopah and the rest of the county. The county calendar also shows a Board of County Commission teleconference meeting set for May 27, a reminder that the holiday pauses front-counter services without halting the county’s broader civic calendar.
For people handling fireworks over the weekend, the Nye County Fireworks Safety Site will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. each night. The site is at 3770 Fox Ave. in Pahrump, at the corner of Fox Avenue and Gamebird Road. Firework passes are required, cost $5 and can be purchased at any firework company within Nye County. No more than five participants are allowed at each site, and all participants must be 18 or older.
The Pahrump Community Pool will also open for the holiday stretch, with a soft opening Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. for open swim only. The regular season begins Monday with adult swim from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. and open swim from noon to 6 p.m., giving families one more option as the county shifts into summer routines.
Election offices are staying busy despite the holiday. Early voting for the 2026 primary election started Saturday and runs through June 5 in Pahrump and Tonopah, but both sites will be closed on Memorial Day. At Bob Ruud Community Center, 150 North Highway 160 in Pahrump, early voting is available Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and county election officials say any Nye County voter may cast a ballot at any location on Election Day, June 9, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
