A lot of the western land owned by the Feds isn't land that no one else wants. Some states want some of it (I haven't checked to see if Nevada is one of them.) Some companies would like to mine it or otherwise use it (they might prefer the feds to own it and give them access to it for cheap, but they would pay to buy it if that's what it took). The Congressional Research Services estimates all federal land in the U.S. is worth $463 billion. minnesota.cbslocal.com Edit - Nevada is one of the states that wants some of that land “In the past year, legislatures in seven western states—Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Idaho—have passed, introduced, or explored legislation demanding that the federal government turn over millions of acres of federal public lands to the states washingtonpost.com Not that I should give in to ad-hominem but I deliberately avoided libertarian or even conservative sources instead using CBS and the Washington Post.
