I think there's a pill that can help you with that.  Or maybe a 12 step program.

Will they actually have vote totals or are they stupid like Iowa

They're stupid like Iowa.  Here's an explanation of the 2008 Democratic process in Nevada, which as I understand is basically the same as the 2016 process:

As a followup to my post about the Nevada Democratic caucus process, for the benefit of those of you not following Erc's delegate thread, here's what he says about the process there:

Voter Eligibility

Only registered Democrats may vote in the caucus, though voters may reaffiliate as Democrats on the day.

At the Caucus

Nevada is a caucus state, just like Iowa, and it works in much the same fashion (though one distinction is that those who voted for viable candidates are not allowed to recaucus; this diminishes the possibility of weird tactical voting for Uncommitted).  Each precinct elects some number of delegates to a County Convention.  These are allocated among the candidates receiving 15% support in each precinct (or higher in precincts with a small number of delegates).  As in Iowa, voters supporting a candidate which does not meet the threshold may recaucus to support a different candidate.

The numbers reported to the media at the end of the day will be quite literally the number of delegates to County Conventions won by each candidate.  The apportionment favors the smaller, rural counties over the larger ones--i.e. Clark, Washoe, Carson City, Douglas, Lyon, Nye, and Elko will be slightly underrepresented, though they will obviously still dominate proceedings.  Extremely small precincts are also favored.

NV is a must-win for Sanders, but I think Clinton wins by 8 or so. I think NV will be her comeback state.

How many angry women tend to caucus in Nevada?

Idk, probably too many. Tongue Don't think they will be a factor in NV, though.

It won't be the angry women, but the wise Latinas, who will win it for Clinton.
