Not enough information is given to answer the question properly. You MAY be eligible but you would have to check with your local State Unemployment Office. Under the circumstances, don't be too surprised if your former employer challenges your filing for them.

Can you claim unemployment if fired in Nevada?

According to the Department of Employment, Training, and Rehabilitation, you are only eligible for unemployment if you are fired for a reason other than "misconduct as defined by law." That will usually mean that if you did something to the detriment of your employer which caused you to be fired you are not eligible for unemployment. However, you should apply for unemployment benefits anyway. The agency will review your specific circumstances and make a decision - the worst that can happen is that they will say no!
