I have a slightly different take than AJ, but I know he's been burned on this issue.
That's right. I have the "been there, done that" t-shirt.

It is legal to ask you to sign a non-compete. However, that is a completely separate issue from whether or not the non-compete is enforceable. That non-compete would not be enforceable in my state.
I think a two year, industry wide non-compete is likely to be unenforceable in any state.

But that doesn't keep the employer from filing suit and costing the OP a barrel full of money defending it.

Have a Nevada attorney review it and determine if the employer could enforce it, IF you were to sign it. If he could not, then it doesn't matter much whether you do or not.
Yes, it does matter if you sign it. Even when it's potentially (or even guaranteed) unenforceable you still end up with a lot of grief and expense defending against it.
