Las Vegas prohibits parking any vehicle on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours under LVMC 11.48. Overnight parking by residents and guests is otherwise allowed unless a neighborhood has posted permit-parking or resident-only signage, which is rare.
Las Vegas operates under a 72-hour rule: any vehicle parked in the same location on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours is subject to marking, tagging, and tow. There is no blanket overnight parking ban for residents, and most city residential streets permit overnight parking without a permit. Exceptions exist in downtown and Arts District blocks with posted 2-hour or permit-only restrictions, and in a handful of residentially-zoned blocks with posted 'no parking 2 a.m. β 6 a.m.' signage used for street sweeping. HOAs in master-planned communities (Summerlin, Centennial Hills, Providence) routinely impose stricter overnight rules on private internal streets, including permit requirements, tow policies for unregistered vehicles, and RV/trailer bans. Commercial vehicles over a posted GVWR may not park overnight on residential streets. RVs, trailers and boats cannot be stored on public streets for more than 24 hours. The 72-hour clock resets only when a vehicle is moved a meaningful distance, not merely repositioned on the same block.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Las Vegas code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
