NV Rev Stat § 6.080 (2014) What's This?

1. When all the names in the jury box have been exhausted, or there are not enough therein to complete the next panel that may be drawn, the district judge shall certify the same to the board of county commissioners, together with a statement of the number of additional names that will be required, and the board shall thereupon proceed and select such required number of jurors in the manner provided in NRS 6.050 and 6.060, and thereafter trial jurors may be drawn therefrom as before.

2. It shall at all times be in the discretion of the court, with the consent of all parties litigant to the action or actions to be tried thereby, either to draw the names of the jurors from the box or to issue an open venire directed to the sheriff, requiring the sheriff to summon, either immediately or for a day fixed, from the citizens of the county, but not from the bystanders, such number of persons having the qualifications of jurors as may be needed. The persons thus summoned shall be as competent trial jurors in all respects as if drawn from the jury box.
