Nevada has a split consent framework: one-party consent for in-person conversations (NRS 200.620) but all-party consent for telephone communications (NRS 200.650). Illegally recording or disclosing conversations is a felony punishable by 1–4 years in prison and up to a $5,000 fine.
Nevada's recording laws create a unique split system that affects residents of Clark County. For in-person conversations, NRS 200.620 allows recording with the consent of at least one party (one-party consent), meaning you can record a face-to-face conversation you are part of without telling the other person. However, NRS 200.650 makes it illegal to intercept or record a telephone or wireless communication without the consent of all parties (all-party consent). This means recording a phone call in Clark County requires everyone on the call to agree. The distinction matters for security cameras: an outdoor camera that captures audio of in-person conversations you participate in is legal, but recording neighbors' conversations (which you are not part of) may violate the law. NRS 200.620 also prohibits using any device to eavesdrop on private conversations in which you are not a participant. Key exceptions include: law enforcement with proper warrants, emergency services dispatchers, and recordings made for safety purposes with certain limitations. Unlike California's strict two-party consent for all formats, Nevada's one-party rule for in-person conversations is notably more permissive, making it easier for residents near the CA-NV border (like Clark County) to inadvertently violate California law during cross-border communications.
Illegal interception or recording of conversations is a Category D felony under NRS 200.620 and 200.650, punishable by 1–4 years in prison and a fine up to $5,000. Illegally obtained recordings are inadmissible in Nevada courts. Civil liability for damages is also available to victims.
