Summary
Posting a sign reading "No Peddlers or Solicitors" near your door legally bars door-to-door sellers under LVMC 6.62.120(E), unless you have personally invited them first. The same Section also bars peddlers from claiming exclusive rights to a location, working from a fixed stand, operating in congested areas, or entering a pedestrian mall without the mall management's approval.
No person engaged in peddling or soliciting shall: (A) Have any exclusive right to any location upon the streets, sidewalks, alleys or public grounds of the City; (B) Operate at a stationary location; (C) Operate in any congested area where the operation might impede the public; (D) Operate in any pedestrian mall without obtaining prior approval of the mall management; or (E) Attempt to peddle or solicit at any dwelling where there is displayed near its entrance a sign bearing the words "No Peddlers or Solicitors" or other words of similar import, except pursuant to a prior invitation by any person residing in such dwelling.

Full Breakdown
LVMC 6.62.120 lists the location restrictions that apply to every peddler or solicitor operating in the City. Subsection (E) is the no-knock rule: no person may attempt to peddle or solicit at any dwelling that displays, near its entrance, a sign bearing the words "No Peddlers or Solicitors" or other words of similar import, unless a resident of that dwelling issued a prior invitation. The same Section bars peddlers and solicitors from claiming an exclusive right to any location on the City's streets, sidewalks, alleys or public grounds under (A); from operating at a stationary location at all, since the Chapter's definition of peddling requires moving from place to place, under (B); from operating in any congested area where the activity might impede the public, under (C); and from entering a designated pedestrian mall under NRS 268.810 to 268.823 without the mall management's prior approval, under (D).
Because the sign rule sits inside the same location-restrictions Section that requires every peddler to hold a permit and work card under 6.62.020, a resident's posted sign functions as a standing, dwelling-specific revocation of the implied consent to approach that the Chapter otherwise assumes; peddlers who ignore a properly posted sign are violating the Section even if they otherwise hold a valid permit. There is no City registry of no-solicitation addresses; the rule works only through the posted sign itself. Enforcement runs through Metro and City code enforcement acting on complaints, and repeated violations can also support license denial, suspension or revocation of the offending peddler's or solicitor's permit under 6.62.060.
Violations & Fines
Violating LVMC 6.62.120, including ignoring a posted "No Peddlers or Solicitors" sign, is punishable under the Title 1 general penalty, LVMC 1.24.010: a fine of up to $1,000, up to six months in jail, or both, with each day a continuing violation a separate offense under 1.24.020. A permit holder who repeatedly ignores posted signs also risks denial, suspension or revocation of the peddler/solicitor permit under 6.62.060.
