Clark County Business License officials are reminding Las Vegas-area residents and visitors that consuming marijuana in illegal in moving vehicles.
Officials have learned that some persons have sought to rent tour buses and limousines so that they may consume marijuana in them, which is illegal under state law.
The law states "a person who smokes or otherwise consumes marijuana in a public place, in a retail marijuana store, or in a moving vehicle is guilty of a misdemeanor punished by a fine of not more than $600."
Marijuana consumption includes inhaling or ingesting of any marijuana or marijuana products.
Renting or hiring of private or public vehicles, including tour buses, limousines, shuttles and the like, for marijuana consumption is prohibited by law.
It is also illegal to consume marijuana in a public right of way, along with consuming marijuana at Las Vegas casinos and McCarran International Airport.
Clark County, along with the Nevada Transportation Authority and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, is enforcing these laws in unincorporated Clark County, including the Las Vegas Strip and the surrounding resort corridor. The city of Las Vegas is additionally enforcing these laws in its jurisdiction, which includes the downtown casino corridor.
The Nevada Transportation Authority has stated it will take action against holders of Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity if it finds a business out of compliance.
