Is Nevada (the state) pronounced "Ne-vaugh-da" or "Neh-VA-da"? (startrek.website)

I'm watching Veep and everyone pronounces it "Ne-vaugh-da" (which is how I pronounce it) but Kent insists on correcting everyone with "Ne-VA-duh".

Who's correct? Is the show trying to correct a common mis-pronounciation or is Kent just full of shit?

On the east coast, I say "Ne-vaugh-da" and the other always sounds to my ear like a kind of old timey out west version. Like, I hear Sam Elliott saying it that way in my head.
