Cannabis dispensaries on the Las Vegas Strip are often misleading tourists by selling hemp products instead of legal cannabis. Here's what you need to know:

Key Facts About Cannabis Sales in Las Vegas:

• Legal cannabis dispensaries cannot operate on the Las Vegas Strip or Fremont Street Experience
• Licensed dispensaries must be at least 1,500 feet from establishments with unrestricted gaming licenses
• Most legitimate dispensaries are located about a half-mile from tourist corridors

How to Spot Fake Dispensaries:

• Located directly on the Strip or Fremont Street
• Sales counter visible from the street (legitimate dispensaries require ID verification in a vestibule)
• Accepts credit cards (real dispensaries only accept cash or debit)
• Sells hemp products with no THC content listed
• Products lack proper laboratory testing

Recent Regulations:

• Las Vegas city law requires fake dispensaries to post signs stating "This location is not licensed to sell cannabis"
• Must display actual THC levels on packaging
• These rules only apply to Fremont Street locations, not the Strip (which is in Clark County)

To verify legitimate dispensaries, check the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board's website for their official list of licensed locations.

Safety Warning: Unlicensed products may contain harmful substances like synthetic marijuana or pesticides due to lack of testing requirements.
