If you’re planning a trip to Las Vegas and it will be your first time visiting, there are a few things you’ll want to remember…

It’s Perfectly Legal to Drink on the Streets

You read correctly… it’s totally legal to walk around with a cocktail in your hand in Las Vegas, as long as it’s not in a glass container. Now, because Vegas has “laxed” liquor laws in comparison to other US cities, there has to be some type of regulations in place to prevent total chaos. According to the Las Vegas Sun, if you’re going to openly drink in the streets of Las Vegas, you can’t drink out of glass containers, in cars, or within 1,000 feet of certain establishments… simple enough right?

Vegas Is More Fun When You’re At Least 21 Years Old

Again, Vegas didn’t get the nickname of “Adult Playground” for nothing. From the gambling and party scenes to the erotic shows and crazy characters on The Strip, Vegas just has ore freedoms for people “of age” than those who aren’t. The real fun of Vegas reverts to the above enjoyment of being able to openly drink on the streets of Vegas, honestly. 

 

There aren’t too many cities, if any at all, that allows you to openly drink on the street without getting some type of charge against you. This is probably the biggest perk visitors enjoy most. Now, that doesn’t mean that people who aren’t of age to drink won’t have fun but they’ll just have a different type of fun but Vegas truly is fun for all ages.
