I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city of nevada' is the definition.
'Carson' can be an answer for 'city' (Carson City is an example). I am not sure about the 'of nevada' bit.

'autos get ahead' is the wordplay.
'autos' becomes 'cars' ('car' can be a synonym of 'auto').
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'ahead' becomes 'on' (synonyms).
'cars'+'on'='CARSON'

'in this' acts as a link.
