Someone said that it is legal now to smoke outside these places in Las Vegas. I want to confirm for a friend. I don't smoke so I have no idea. He will be going to Vegas in 2 weeks. I am just not sure how the laws work and I don't want him getting into any trouble.
I read that as of October 1st, it was made legal but this was in passing. I was looking through an article a few weeks back so I am not entirely sure if this is true or not. You could (or your friend could) contact some of the dispensaries on the stip and see what they say.
My cousin went earlier in the year and she said she didn't have a problem smoking in front of them. It might depend on who's around and the dispensary itself though.
I didn't know this was something they had changed but I did look it up and it would appear you are right, as of October first the laws in Vegas have been changed.
