I assume Nevada doesn't allow betting on college games that take place in state. That and the fact the league allows regular tournaments but not championship tournaments, is how the NCAA thinks they're getting around this rank hypocrisy:
The NCAA championships sports wagering policy strictly prohibits the conducting of any championship session in a state with legal wagering that is based on single-game betting. Single-game betting is defined as wagering that involves either a money line or point spread wager. This policy is in place to ensure the integrity of the game, provide consistency in awarding NCAA championships and to address concerns for student-athlete well-being.
Frigging unreal.
I think you may assume incorrectly .... my recollection was that then-GCB Chairman, and now Governor/possible 2016 VP material, Brian Sandoval was instrumental in getting the instate college game ban lifted in 2002:
"Despite an invitation, no one from the NCAA took part in any of the five Gaming Commission hearings since the measures were first proposed in October.
"I want to make it clear these proposals have not been developed to appease the NCAA," Chairman Brian Sandoval said. "Their real issue is illegal sports book betting outside the state of Nevada."
Sandoval said the changes, which were approved unanimously, give the commission better control over college sports betting in Nevada.
The Gaming Commission's new rules mean that for the first time since the 1950s betting will be allowed on games played by UNLV and the University of Nevada, Reno, and on games played by other college teams in Nevada.
"So, you'll now be able to take bets on teams if the Final Four were to play here?" asked John Yeatts, a Las Vegas resident and self-described "gambler on the carpet" who stepped to the podium to hail the Gaming Control Commission action.
"Yes," Sandoval answered"

I am not giving a professional opinion as to the current state of the law here, as I did not review current NV regs. Just going on memory.
However, you are right about the NCAA language quoted above .... their policy appears limited to college championship "sessions" and locations. .... Sort of like tournaments v. regular season games, perhaps ? Makes little sense since you legally can certainly bet on single games in a tournament format.
