These guys can give you loads of info in regards to tournaments, rules, and regulations. Also, if you have a local chamber of commerce, they are a good source of information.
Something that I would also do is look up your local bass clubs and nevada chapter area tours and find out what it takes to become a member. You may come to find that you have to be a member of a particular club in order to participate in an event; especially in regards to a fish like Striper.
With all do respect to Lake Mead and its excellent fishery, it's not been reconized by the US as a premier Striper fishing hot spot. For that area, i'm sure it's about as good as it gets, but definately not in the US. Major sanctioned tournaments and events are held where the big dawgs are prominent. A 40 Striper is very common on the east coast off of the NC beaches and in the rivers of Santee Cooper. Infact, we have a Striper Tournament pro on BFT. I'll see if I can round up his log on name, I can't remember off the top of my head. The upside is that Lake Mead IS a nationally known hot spot for Large mouth bass, and finding a tourney up your alley shouldn't be an issue at all. I'll do some more research on the local bass clubs and sponsors to see if I can find one suited for you. Something easy, cheap or free, and hospitable. [cool]
