Quiet hours in Clark County, NV — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Clark County enforces decibel-based noise limits under Title 30 §30.68.020. Residential zones: 47 dB daytime, 37 dB nighttime at 1000 Hz. The Las Vegas Strip (Gaming Enterprise District) is fully exempt from noise standards.
Clark County Code Title 30 §30.68.020 establishes octave band decibel limits for unincorporated areas. At the 1000 Hz reference frequency, residential zones are limited to 47 dB daytime and 37 dB nighttime. Business and industrial zones allow 52 dB day and 42 dB night. Levels may be exceeded by 10 dB for a single period not exceeding 15 minutes per day. Measurements are taken at property lines, at least 4 feet above ground. Where emitting and receiving properties are in different zones, the more restrictive limits apply. The Gaming Enterprise District between Sahara Avenue and St. Rose Parkway, and Koval Lane and Cameron Street, is fully exempt from noise and vibration standards — this covers the Las Vegas Strip corridor. Title 14 §14.55.020 provides additional nuisance-based enforcement for sounds 'physically annoying to persons of ordinary sensitivity.' LVMPD handles active disturbances (311); Code Enforcement handles persistent issues.
Noise violation: citation under Title 30 §30.68.020 or Title 14 §14.55.020. Nuisance: misdemeanor.
