US state whose capital is Carson City (6)

I believe the answer is:

nevada

(Other definitions for nevada that I've seen before include "part of US" , "Western US state" , "Sagebrush State" , "Southwestern US state" , "Curiously, Dan and Eva are in the US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Independent.
