Area code 775 covers nearly all of Nevada outside of the Las Vegas area, including cities like Reno, Carson City, and Elko. Created in 1998 as a split from 702, it encompasses a vast geographic area marked by desert landscapes, mining operations, casinos, and outdoor recreation. Reno and Carson City anchor the northern region with growing tech industries and tourism. Seven-digit dialing is still permitted locally. Area code 775 is symbolic of Nevada’s independent spirit, serving as the rural and mountainous counterbalance to the state's southern urban hub.
