Clean up Similar Location/US State column in Power Query

I have a request to clean up the messy Location column, (NV Central, Nevada Region, Nevada or NV) should fall under Nevada and the Medical Centers should fall under Nevada when you apply the Filter. What will be the best Power Query approach to have only one format for the state = Nevada and have the Medical Centers locations fall under the Nevada State when you apply the filter. Diagram below shows the Location Column that needs to be cleaned up. Keep in mind I have no access to the Data Source.

Then you might have to write conditional columns statements if city is Las Vegas or Reno or if it contains NV Or Nevada then state = Nevada

 

you may have to accommodate for many scenarios.

Don't you have State field in the db table ? 

There is no State field

 

That is the only Location Column they have in the report
