Summary

Any outdoor music festival in unincorporated Clark County needs a county license, a $100 application fee, and a public hearing before the county commission: filed 60 days out.

City-specific rules exist: Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Las Vegas have their own street fair rules rules that differ from Clark County's county-level regulations. If you live in one of those cities, check the city-specific page instead.

No person shall operate, maintain, conduct, advertise, or sell or furnish tickets for an outdoor festival in the unincorporated areas of the county of Clark, state of Nevada, unless he shall first obtain a license from the county of Clark to operate or conduct such festival.

Full Breakdown

Clark County Code Chapter 6.67 requires anyone operating, advertising, or selling tickets to an outdoor music or dance festival in the unincorporated county, including the Strip resort corridor in Paradise and Winchester, to obtain a festival license from the county. Applicants file at least 60 days ahead with a $100 nonrefundable fee, submit fingerprints and financial disclosures, and get a public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners, which can set conditions covering security staffing, water and sanitation facilities, medical services, parking, and a 2 a.m.-6 a.m. curfew. The license itself costs $150 per day of operation.

Violations & Fines

Operating or advertising an unlicensed outdoor festival, or selling tickets without one, is a misdemeanor under section 6.67.150: up to six months in jail, a $500 fine, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this apply to events on the Las Vegas Strip?
Yes: the Strip resort corridor sits in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, so Clark County's outdoor festival license, not the City of Las Vegas code, governs festivals held there.
Is every outdoor concert required to get this license?
No: section 6.67.135 exempts single-day, locally-advertised events with 8,000 or fewer tickets that end by 6 a.m. and don't cross county lines; bigger or wider-advertised events still need one.
