Full Breakdown
Clark County Code Section 7.200.070 limits any conveyance operated by a licensed sidewalk vendor, a pushcart, stand, pedal-driven cart, wagon, showcase, or rack, to no more than 25 square feet, and requires that all equipment, food, materials, and signs used for vending stay on or within that conveyance. Each licensee is limited to one conveyance at a time. Vendors also need a Southern Nevada Health District permit, general liability insurance, and a $150 annual license from the county's Department of Business License. Because the Strip's resort corridor sits in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, these county cart rules, not the City of Las Vegas code, govern vending there.
Violations & Fines
Vending from an oversized or extra conveyance, or operating without a license, draws a written notice, a civil penalty up to $500 per violation per day, and, outside residential zones, a misdemeanor with jail time.
