(6)No mobile food vendor shall sell or solicit or park a vehicle within five hundred feet in any direction from the extreme outside perimeter of any school property during the hours that such schools are in session or during the period of one-half hour after the close of the final sessions...(9)No mobile food vendor shall sell within the boundaries of any county park or designated recreation area.

Full Breakdown

Clark County Code § 6.130.020 bars mobile food vendors from selling, soliciting, or parking within 500 feet of any school property while school is in session, plus a half hour after dismissal, and bans selling inside any county park or designated recreation area. These rules cover vehicle-based operators licensed under Chapter 6.130, separate from the pushcart rules in Chapter 7.200, which explicitly exempt Chapter 6.130 vendors. Because the Strip's resort corridor sits in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, this county code, not Las Vegas's municipal code, governs where food trucks may operate there.

Violations & Fines

Violating Chapter 6.130 is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a $1,000 fine, six months in county jail, or both: each day of continued violation counts as a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a food truck park near a school in Clark County?

No. Clark County Code § 6.130.020(6) bars mobile food vendors from selling, soliciting, or parking within 500 feet of any school property while school is in session, plus a half hour after dismissal.

Are food trucks allowed in Clark County parks?

No. Section 6.130.020(9) prohibits mobile food vendors from selling within the boundaries of any county park or designated recreation area, countywide in unincorporated Clark County.

Does this rule apply to the Las Vegas Strip?

Yes, for the parts in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships. The Strip's resort corridor sits outside Las Vegas city limits, so Clark County's mobile food vendor code, not the city's, applies there.
