I cannot think of any with an actual stinger that long. It is much more likely to be an ovipositor, which is used by some arthropods (the Phylum classification which includes both insects and arachnids) for the laying of eggs.
The female arthropod uses the ovipositor to dispense and attach the eggs to the appropriate location. In some species she even uses her ovipositor to pierce a hole in the nest medium (be it soil, leaf, or paralyzed prey) to prepare a place for the eggs.
In truth, stingers are modified ovipositors, but as a defensive weapon one that long and flexible would be cumbersome at best. Think in terms of advice columnist Ann Landers's tongue in cheek '30 lashes with a wet noodle', a floppy punishment at best. Perhaps what you saw might be one of the Sphex digger wasps? There is a link to many images of sphex wasps below-- try browsing through to see if any look familiar.

Do vultures live in Nevada?
Yes. There is the Black Vulture, and more common, the Turkey Vulture. The California Condor also lives in Arizona, the Condor is larger than a vulture, but the two birds are very similar in their looks (naked neck, and large usually black wings and of course they are both scavengers). The Turkey Vulture has large black wings with white tips, and has a small pink/red neck. The Black Vulture is named well, black head, black wings, and I do not believe it has any white tips on it's wings. I hope this helped :)

The bird you are describing sounds like the Great Egret, which is a large white bird known for its striking appearance. However, if you are specifically referring to a bird with a large yellow beak and black-tipped wings, it might be the American White Pelican, which has a large yellow bill and predominantly white feathers with black on the wings. Both species are often found near water bodies and are known for their graceful flight and distinct coloration.
