Boulder City, NV Curfew Laws: Juvenile Curfew (2026)

Boulder City Municipal Code establishes a juvenile curfew prohibiting minors (generally under 18) from being in public places, streets, parks, or unattended in vehicles during specified late-night hours. Typical curfew hours, consistent with many Nevada jurisdictions including Clark County and Henderson, are 10 pm to 5 am on school nights (Sunday through Thursday) and around midnight to 5 am on Friday and Saturday nights. Exceptions typically include minors accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, minors traveling to or from legitimate work or a school/religious/civic event, minors responding to an emergency, and minors on an errand directly authorized by a parent with a time window that fits the errand. The curfew is enforced by the Boulder City Police Department, which may detain a minor found in violation, contact the parents for pickup, and issue a citation to both the minor and the parent or guardian. Repeat violations can escalate to juvenile court referral. Adult drivers transporting minors who are in curfew violation may also face consequences. The curfew serves both public safety and tourism-related purposes given Boulder City proximity to Lake Mead recreation areas which attract visitors at all hours. Parents are generally held responsible under the municipal code for knowingly allowing curfew violations.
