Nevada Phidippus
Unfortunately, this is a subadult female, so I would hesitate to put a species name on it. The overall pattern is most like apacheanus and nikites, due to the lack of lighter colored scales centrally in the black area on the abdomen, but the color does not match any variety of these that I have seen. Nevada is one of those places that is very poorly explored, and I expect if anyone were to look consistently, they would find a lot of new records. I also suggest trying to rear such specimens, which is how I've obtained many adult specimens over the years. You can check the relative maturity by photographing the underside through glass while they are still alive.
