Full Breakdown
Clark County Code § 14.42.058 bans riding or operating a skateboard, coaster, roller or in-line skates, electric bicycle, electric scooter, or similar device on any public sidewalk or public pedestrian easement within the code's defined "restricted area", the Strip corridor along Las Vegas Boulevard South, Paradise Road, and the cross streets and highways that intersect them, per Section 14.42.020(g). Because the Strip sits in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, county law, not the City of Las Vegas, governs these sidewalks. Riders with disabilities using an exempted electric personal assistive mobility device (EPAMD) are not covered. Violators face a misdemeanor: up to six months in county jail, a $1,000 fine, or both, under Section 14.42.060.
Violations & Fines
Misdemeanor under Clark County Code § 14.42.060: up to six months in county jail, a $1,000 fine, or both. Enforced by Metro police and county code enforcement.
