Additional rules, regulations in place for street vendors in southern Nevada
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — More street vendors have been seen setting up shop across the Las Vegas valley. Operators are selling their food, made to order. But soon, they may have to change the way they’re running their business.
“It’s great food. Great, quality stuff. Everyone’s cool and it’s a lot of fun,” said one customer who stopped to grab a late night snack from a stand located at the intersection of Desert Inn Road and Fort Apache Road in the west valley.

While the reaction has been mostly positive from customers, street vendors do have to operate under a very specific set of rules, recently established by Senate Bill 92. The law provided a path to legalize street food vending across the state and gave jurisdictions, like the City of Las Vegas and Clark County, the platform to set their own regulations.
In January, the City of Las Vegas proposed an ordinance that would require street vendors to pay a total of $200 in business licensing and processing fees. Vendors would also have to provide a health card, health permit and sales tax permit.
Last fall, Clark County passed an ordinance that prohibits street food vending within 1,500 feet of a resort hotel, an event facility with capacity of over 20,000 seats for a minor or major league team, the convention center and in a median or highway, if adjacent to a parking lot. For example, the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign.
The county is still working to establish separate rules that address licensing fees.
Meantime, separate task forces have been created to figure out ways to make licenses more affordable and accessible to street food vendors.
Channel 13 also contacted the Southern Nevada Health District to learn more about the do’s and dont’s regarding street vending. In 2023, the health district received 230 unpermitted vending complaints
“The volume of complaints has been steady without any significant increase,” said a health district spokesperson.

The health district also has two dedicated employees assigned to investigate complaints.
“The SNHD has not currently issued any permits for sidewalk vendors. Any vendors currently operating are unpermitted. When sidewalk vendors do obtain a health permit, they must be compliant with all current SNHD regulations,” the spokesperson said.
RENO, Nev. (Nevada Athletics) – Nevada Women’s Basketball won its second straight game Wednesday night, getting a thrilling 70-60 overtime win against Wyoming at Lawlor Events Center.
Reigning Old Trapper Mountain West Freshman of the Week Skylar Durley led the Pack (6-9, 2-3 MW) in scoring with 18 points and led both teams in rebounds with a career high 14, recording her first double-double of her career.
Ahrray Young went 5-for-10 from the field for 11 points to go with eight boards.
Nevada’s resilience in the latter part of the fourth, which was punctuated by a key block from Young, forced the game into overtime.
The Pack’s shutdown defense held Wyoming (4-10, 1-4 MW) at bay in the final five, only allowing one point off of a free throw.
On the other end, the offense of Nevada went on a 6-0 run and shot 83.3 percent from the field.
Nevada outscored Wyoming 11-1 and held the Cowgirls without a field goal in OT.
The Pack opened regulation in perfect fashion, shooting a 7-for-7 from the field, 2-for-2 from three and 2-for-2 from the line in the first five minutes of action.
Nevada had a 10-0 run that was capitalized by holding Wyoming to a two-and-a-half minute scoring drought.
Through the first quarter, Nevada shot 64.3 percent and remained perfect from both deep and free throws.
Nevada’s hot start simmered in the second, only getting six points and closing the quarter on a field goal drought of just under four minutes.
Meanwhile, Wyoming’s shooting improved from the first, closing the gap to two.
Despite the slower quarter, Nevada carried its lead into the second half, 45-41.
The third quarter was nearly even, Nevada only shooting slightly better and outscoring Wyoming, 15-14.
The game stayed close through the fourth with three ties and four lead changes, leading to extra time.
As a team, the Pack outrebounded the Cowgirls, 40-28, and had 24 bench points to their six.
Nevada will hit the road and look to even its conference record as it faces New Mexico Saturday at 12 p.m.

The defending 5A state champion Centennial Bulldogs (7-3) open conference play with a challenging road test Wednesday night when they travel to Henderson to face the Liberty Patriots (10-7) in a Nevada 5A Southern basketball clash.
Coach Karen Weitz’s Bulldogs, seeking their second consecutive state title, will rely on their formidable frontcourt duo of forwards Nation Williams and Inieye Oruh, complemented by standout guard Sanai Branch. They will face a Patriots squad that has shown marked improvement under head coach Lorenzo Jarvis, powered by senior leaders Samantha Chesnut and Kiana Harworth alongside junior standout Neviah Nick.
With Liberty’s home court advantage potentially neutralizing Centennial’s championship pedigree, this early conference matchup could set the tone for both teams’ title aspirations in the competitive 5A Southern division.
Opening tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. PT on Wednesday, January 7 with a live TV broadcast on NFHS Network.
