It may have been a Madagascar roach. They are the largest in the world, however I don't know if they are in your area of NV or not. They get that big. I used to live in SC, and we had some pretty large palmetto bugs there, but not as big as what you saw. Also, fyi, the palmetto roaches can fly too. Scary.

Use boric acide to get rid of roaches. You can fidn this anywhere they sell pest control products. Also check your local hardware store.

Knowing one of those guys was nearby wouldn't help me sleep well at night....OK maybe it would if you could train one to bark and attack. Anyway, here's some interesting reading about the subject. Maybe you have a record breaker:
