Add-on Scenery Instructions for FSX:

Unzip the scenery in a temporary folder. I recommend making a folder on the desktop.
Copy the scenery file into the new Temporary folder and unzip it there.
Paste the extracted folder (Nevada) into your Add-on scenery folder in your FSX directory. It might be located at \Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery.
If you already have an Nevada Scenery folder, answer Yes if you want to merge the folder.

Activating the Scenery:

From the menu bar in Free Flight, click World > Scenery Library.
Click Add Area.
Click on Addon Scenery, hover your mouse over Nevada (to highlight it), and then click OK.
Make sure Nevada is checked then click OK. Afterwards, FSX will rebuild the scenery library, which should only take a couple of seconds and then it will load the newly installed scenery.

If you had followed these instructions, your new scenery should be installed and ready to use.
