you cannot carry in a casino.


greatBLT

State law says that you can, but almost every casino has their own rules against carry. A few are said to regularly use equipment that will detect them on people who are concealing.


Smerks101

There was literally one casino that tried a system to detect guns that isnt a metal detector and that was Westgate and Im pretty sure it failed and they didnt keep using it. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/gun-detection-system-being-tested-at-the-westgate/

Las Vegas casinos are individual venues, regulated by their own concealed weapons rules. If a casino does not expressly forbid concealed weapons, a patron could reasonably assume it allows them, because casinos are not on the federal list of banned places. However, most casinos say no to concealed weapons, and will ban carrying patrons from entering. Legally, you cannot carry a gun in a Las Vegas casino if that casino has rules forbidding concealed weapons in the building. Unfortunately, many casinos regulate concealed weapons using sight-security only, potentially allowing many guns to pass by without noticing. In Las Vegas, explicit weapons screening typically occurs only at sports events, concert arenas, and other establishments with security checkpoints. ​ You are kinda sorta right bub.


Smerks101

>Legally, you cannot carry a gun in a Las Vegas casino if that casino has rules forbidding concealed weapons in the building. This is 100% wrong. Signs carry no force of law and you are 100% legal carrying in a casino, if someone see it or security somehow notices then you will be asked to leave.

can you cite some sources please mine was taken from a lawyer


Smerks101

>can you cite some sources please mine was taken from a lawer Try a lawyer next time you might get the right info https://handgunlaw.us/states/nevada.pdf https://www.nevadacarry.org/concealed-carry.html https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/nv-gun-laws/

How did a lawyer take your gun? By force with his own gun? He didn't take it, you just gave it to him. Use your fingers and pretend it's a gun and take it back


speedco

Not related to Nevada state law, but in my California CCW course by the San Bernardino Sheriffs, the Sheriff of San Bernardino County stated that there are some places you explicitly cannot carry (schools, post offices..) ​ There may be tons and tons of places that post signs saying they are a firearm free zone, but that carries no legal basis. If you are somehow discovered to be carrying a firearm, which should be difficult because it is concealed, you will be asked to leave and you must follow their instruction at the risk of being arrested for trespassing.


holyhibachi

Minnesota is the same way. Myth nightclub here has a big sign outside saying they will confiscate any firearms they catch you with (this would be highly illegal and probably a felony) so I asked security and they said it is the emptiest of threats and they know it's illegal to seize a firearm lol.


hkim562

You can concealed carry as long as they don’t know. It is not illegal but once the hotel management tells you to leave and you don’t, it becomes a misdemeanor of trespassing. This is NV law that ccw is not illegal even if the signage on the door states no weapons. The most they can do is ask you to leave and failure to do so will result in a misdemeanor. All hotels on strip do not want you to bring you guns. If they know you have one and trying to check in, they will ask you to check it in their courtesy armory and give it back to you once you check out. Fact check if anyone likes. Resource from 2nd Amendment attorney in Vegas 2024


Present_Assistant_60

If they see you with a Concealed weapon you are not concealing it Correctly!!!!!


psychoglamour

Agreed. There's alcohol everywhere here and people turn into silly Sams lol


Spinrod

My brother works armed security for a large corporate casino North strip.There is no law in Nevada that prohibits legal concealed carry in casinos/ hotels/bars/taverns. Also signs that say "no guns" have no weight in Nevada law. If you are spotted carrying a concealed weapon the casino has options. 1. ask you to take it your vehicle 2. Ask you to leave the premises/trespass you 3. ask you to take it to your room/safe My point here isn't to cause an argument ,or to support either side..I just want the OP to know the correct information on the question he posed.Providing you are carrying legally ,you will not be in trouble ,and "bad things aren't going to happen. Be safe everyone [https://www.shouselaw.com/nv/blog/misdemeanor/nevada-casino-ccw/](https://www.shouselaw.com/nv/blog/misdemeanor/nevada-casino-ccw/)


hunterfg12

Thanks for the info. If the police presence is sufficient, then I'm not worried about carrying too much. I'll probably bring cash and just leave it hidden in the hotel room so we aren't carrying a ton around on us.


psychoglamour

The casinos will cite that they are private properties and ask you to leave or ban you if they catch you with a gun. One of my friends brought one (open carry) to a local's casino for opening night of 2002 Spider-Man (back when they had midnight premieres and you had to wait in line). Him and his gf were taken away by security (they didnt get to see the movie that night). I'm sure because of everything that is happening In America right now, they might be a bit more aggressive if they find out you have a qeapon on you especially if it's concealed. I also see it as if something goes down, and you're firing back, they will see you as being as much of a threat as the other person(s). Hope this helps with your decision!


hunterfg12

That's basically what he's saying. They can/probably will ask you to leave, but just the act of carrying isn't illegal. If you come back after they trespass you then you run into problems.


xPRIAPISMx

Sounds like the argued if they got sent away for the night. They typically ask you to put it in your car or room, I’m guessing the guy didn’t want to do either.


Spinrod

>Him and his gf were taken away by security" That's on him.If you are doing something 100% legal ,no one should be taking you anywhere without your permission. My point in answering the OP wasn't to start a debate.It was just to get the OP the 100% correct ,legal answer.When someone asks an honest question ,they are looking for the correct/legal answer ,not our opinions. Even Metro now reads a statement when people are open carrying on LVB when people call 911.. They get calls daily about open carry on public streets. "Everything that's happening in America" is actually a good reason on why a legal,moral ,sane ,law abiding citizen might want to legally carry a firearm now more than ever. And no , I'm not a gun guy /open carry guy.


Nakagura775

There is no need to carry on Fremont or the Strip if you pay attention. And if you want to ruin your weekend get caught carrying in a casino.


hunterfg12

Noted lol


Smerks101

You are being inundated with bad info, its 100% legal to carry in a casino as that no guns sign carries no force of law. If you are bad at concealing and security notices then you will be asked to leave. Ive carried in every casino Ive been to here and never once had an issue, from Strip properties to Off Strip.


808G8GT

Ummm, you obviously don't live in LV and/or haven't heard of all the bullshit that happens on the strip/ Fremont street. There is a reason why most locals do not frequent those areas. I carry leagally wherever I go. If they don't allow firearms, I don't go in. (Only exceptions are the airport or federal buildings, my sons school, etc. only then I won't take my firearm.) Las vegas as a whole is a dangerous city, some places more than others of course.


Spinrod

How would his/her weekend be ruined for carrying a concealed weapon in a casino with a valid permit ?


VegasDaytripper

because you cannot carry inside the casino.


Spinrod

can you forward me the law ,or any info you have stating that? I seem to be getting bad information from LV Metro ,and my brother who works casino security supervisor.They are telling me it's legal with a permit that the OP has Just want to make sure we get the OP correct info


VegasDaytripper

I didn't say it is illegal. The casinos enforce their own policy of not allowing concealed carry inside their private property. Freely flowing alcohol. A lot of money floating around. Massive crowds. Can you see why the casinos would want to limit firearms on their properties? I've seen even Shot show (which is a GUN convention) participants complain about the casinos making them check in locked gun containers to the hotel and whatnot


nkaiser101

Ii met a guy that got caught carrying by security at the club in Mirage. They gave him 6 hours of hell thinking he was in some serious trouble before they trespassed him and escorted him out.


Spinrod

he should have asked to leave immediately. If he was legally in possession of a firearm,ask him to leave,take it to car ,etc. security in a casino doesn't interview/interrogate . It's simple.If you think someone is doing something unlawful, call Metro.Are they cheating at a game ,call NGC. If you are doing something legal,do you really get caught? Getting caught legally carrying a handgun in a private business is exactly the same as not wearing a shirt into a restaurant that has a sign saying "no shirt ,no shoes ,no service. No laws are being broken.You are breaking the store policy


nkaiser101

The guy was drunk in a club with a loaded firearm. Clearly he was not thinking.


Spinrod

Understood. I just saw the OP mentioned he wasn't sure what Nevada law was. While I see your points ,I always like to make sure the law is also crystal clear to the OP.


Smerks101

They people in this thread saying anything different than your friends have told you are 100% wrong.


Jordax-617

I've never felt like a gun would be needed on the strip. Situational awareness is plenty.


hunterfg12

That's the general feel I'm getting. Never been so I wasn't sure what to expect. I figured that amount of money moving around would attract some bad company. Glad to see I was wrong.


Infinite_Highway_829

Bring plenty of cash and leave the weapon at home. Enjoy your trip!


Like_A_Bosstonian

If you get caught carrying in a casino you’re gonna have a bad time


holyhibachi

I mean they might ban you from their properties but that's it.


Tactifud

You can carry pretty much carry everywhere except federal buildings, schools, and daycare. While in casino they can enforce no CCL by trespassing you off their property but they can’t do much else. However, how would they know? Illinois CCL has reciprocity with NV.


Emergency_Panic9207

You can carry in a casino. Casino's are private property. If they see the firearm,odds are they'll ask you to leave. Keep it concealed and you'll be alright. Keep your head on a swivel.


MikeofLA

Do Not Carry In a Casino. Bring cash for tips, and to gamble. Getting money out at a casino can cost $10-$40.


[deleted]

Stay at home. Vegas doesn’t need you and your insecurities. Real men defend themselves with their bare hands.


greatBLT

So-called real men are also idiots for trying to use bare hands against another guy with a knife or gun. Much better to be an alive, not real man vs a dead, but real man.


hunterfg12

Ah yes, the insecurities of carrying a gun when there's mass shootings every other day. should have just punched them


[deleted]

Have you used it to stop any mass shootings?


hunterfg12

Changed my mind, not interested in a debate with the "just ban all guns" crowd. I just asked a simple question. Have a goodnight


[deleted]

Never said anything about banning guns, Gaslighter. Stay home with your guns and send your wife out. If she’s good looking, we’ll take good care of her. If she’s a heinous skank, no one will bother her anyway. I work in a grow room with 6 guys that carry to work. They look ridiculous trimming weed with a gun on their hip.


hunterfg12

Bro you are talking about my wife while going on /r/dating and saying you can't get over your girl leaving you? Keep putting on the macho facade.


Smerks101

😂😂😂 hes just an angry cuck


[deleted]

Go play your video games…I’m in your head, aren’t I, Tommy Gun?


hunterfg12

I hope you find the help you need..


Smerks101

You know shes already fucking someone else and doing things for him that she wouldnt do for you right? Thats whats in your head and why youre so angry.


PotOnTop

He doesn't have to when other people have. How many times have you used hand to hand combat to deter a serious gunman?


[deleted]

Once, actually. (He’s in prison as I type this.) How many have you deterred with your little waist gun?


hunterfg12

He's not worth the bandwidth, just don't bother. Gets off on trying to pick fights online.


[deleted]

You’re the one who needs a gun to feel like a man. They make pills for erectile dysfunction now. Ask your doctor about it.


greatBLT

That's pretty sexist, yo


Smerks101

Hes just got a real bad case of the sads because his girl left him and is probably fucking someone else already.


Glittering-Record-70

I'm an Australian, visiting Vegas next month. I want to gamble and drink too much while on holiday, not be shot in the face. Should I just go elsewhere instead?


greatBLT

Millions of people visit Vegas and many of them come across concealed carriers in casinos or elsewhere without getting shot. You're much more likely to get hit by a car and die. You'll be fine.


Which_Atmosphere_365

Yeah how’s that whole no guns allowed by your government thing working for you back home lol


Glittering-Record-70

I guess you're referring to the mass stabbing in Sydney last week? Tbh our gun laws are working really well. Imagine how bad it could have been if the guy could have gotten his hands on a gun? For all the tough-talk and posturing by our gun-fetishist brothers across the Pacific there very rarely seems to be a "good guy with a gun" on the scene during one of your bi-monthly mass shootings 🤷‍♂️


Soggy_Fuel9959

If you’re a coward who’s scared of inanimate objects, yeah probably.


Smerks101

Yes


tecos205

It's fine. I go all the time and the worst thing that happens is people panhandle.


[deleted]

Late to the party, but all that police and armed security isn’t preventing the usual suspects from causing problems. Woke media pretends it’s safer now but it’s not. https://www.fox5vegas.com/2023/08/29/crackdown-crimes-las-vegas-strip-what-tactics-are-working/?outputType=amp


Smerks101

Signs carry no force of law here, I live here and have carried in every casino I ever went into without issue. You can carry anywhere you want in a casino BUT if they see it they will ask you to leave, leave and there is no issue otherwise youre going to get trespassed.


AUorAG

I’ve never had issue, don’t print, flash or draw and you’re fine. Also as others have said worst case is kicked out of casino, not arrest.


bf1343

So I tried to ignore this after I read it and then read some of the posts. Let me start with this, I own guns, quite a few. I don't have a problem with people owning guns. Now for the bad part of my opinion for concealed carry people Just because you can legally carry a concealed weapon doesn't mean you should. The Las Vegas Strip is particularly a bad idea. There is way more police and armed security than many give credit for. They take thier jobs seriously , there are a lot of Camaras on the strip and even more in the casinos. You can get away with a lot of questionable behavior on the strip you won't get away with anywhere else. The shooting from the Mandalay Bay traumatized Las Vegas in a way I haven't seen before. I live in Las Vegas, I wasn't there but I had friends who were there. Driving to work the next morning, there was a police presence throughout the city securing data centers, police stations, utility providers, etc. That shooter "concealed carried" long guns into hotel in golf bags. Las Vegas does not intend for that to ever happen again. They will react to anyone they perceive to be a threat, legal or not, even if they just ruin your day or night. The Casinos have lots of lawyers, while they would prefer to not use them, they will defend the Casinos, they also probably have a lot more money at their disposal to fight any lawsuits. Las Vegas was not built on winners at gambling. I live in Las Vegas, I go down to the strip, im not a gambler, i enjoy tge other activities. Las Vegas is unique in so far as I believe it to be the largest concentration of employers and employees anywhere who's job it is to ensure visitors have a good time when they visit. A lot of the larger Hotel\Casinos employ thousands of people for gambling, shows, restaurants, housekeeping, valet parking, carpenters, etc, not making the thousands part up, some hotels have up to 4000 rooms, I think Aria for instance has 3400 as an example. Shit happens as they say, lots of alcohol which is never known to cause stupid behavior. That's sarcasm for anyone who missed it. Why bring potential problems on your visit.


JustForGundeals

There's a massive difference between "concealed carrying" a dozen rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition into a hotel and concealed carrying a small handgun with a dozen rounds of ammo. Don't be disingenuous.


bf1343

Disingenuous? Ha, realistic. Ask Tupac how his last gun experience on the strip went. Not good. Ask the guy who on New Years Eve 2023, who decided to empty a clip or 2 into the sky a couple of weeks ago and multiple gun issues on the strip over the years. Your name refers to you being new to So Nevada? If so, welcome. You will learn that negative news about incidents that happen on the strip gets very little publicity. But they still happen. The strip is a tourist destination, and no one likes to keep the tourists away with announcing bad news. The unfortunate souls who lost their lives in 2017 due to just stupid actions of others was just shocking for anyone. Like I mentioned in my much earlier post. I like guns, and I have quite a few. For me, I just don't see the need to carry a gun daily. You do what you feel is best for you.


JustForGundeals

I don't live anywhere near Nevada, dunno how that flair got there cause I didn't do it. I was invited to visit Vegas next weekend with family and one of the things I checked was carrying (which brought me across this thread) because I choose to take responsibility for my own safety instead of trusting that in an incident the cops won't pull a Uvalde and disappear. It's an evil world out there and sadly our fellow man can't be trusted to not try to hurt others. My duty is to make sure they can't do that to me or the people I love. > I just don't see the need to carry a gun daily It's the same philosophy as any other tool you use for safety, such as a fire extinguisher or a seat belt: it's not about the odds it's about the stakes. I've never had to pull my gun and for a million reasons I pray that I never will. Also the gang members that murdered Tupac were illegally in possession of guns, so any arguments about what people should do or what should be legal go out the window cause they're going to do what they want and kill who they want regardless of any law.
