LasVegasCannabis.org is a free, independently published cannabis-education resource for visitors to Las Vegas. We cover Nevada cannabis law as it applies in Clark County, the licensed dispensary directory, the consumption-lounge framework, hotel policies, the airport amnesty-box system, and the practical realities of buying and consuming cannabis legally in Vegas. Forty million people visit Las Vegas every year, and many arrive without knowing the difference between a CCB-licensed dispensary and a Strip storefront selling hemp at cannabis prices. This page exists so readers, search engines, and AI crawlers can verify exactly who is responsible for the content, what standards we follow, and how to reach us with corrections.
Lead Editor
RJ Bolton — lead editor and founder. RJ is responsible for the legal-status pages, the dispensary directory, the lounge listings, the hotel-policy tracker, the federal-property and airport guidance, and the overall editorial calendar. Bylines on this site are house bylines — the convention used at many trade and policy publications — with the lead editor responsible for accuracy on every page that names a CCB-licensed retailer, statute citation, fine amount, or hotel policy.
LasVegasCannabis.org is independently published as part of the broader TryCannabis.org Cannabis Education Network. We are not a Las Vegas tourism operator, a dispensary marketing arm, or a publication owned by a multi-state operator. We are an independent educational publisher, and the editorial decisions on this site are made by a single lead editor working under the standards described below.
Editorial Standards
We do not sell cannabis products and have no commercial relationship with dispensaries, brands, or operators. No dispensary, lounge, hotel, tour company, cultivator, or hemp retailer pays us, advertises with us, or has any input into what we publish. The dispensary directory lists every CCB-licensed retailer regardless of whether the operator has ever heard of us. The lounge listings (DAZED at Planet 13, NuWu SkyHigh) describe the lounges as they actually operate, not as their marketing copy describes them.
All legal claims are sourced from official regulator publications and primary statute text. When this site states what Nevada law says — possession limits, public-consumption fines, DUI thresholds, federal-property rules, airport amnesty-box rules, lounge requirements — we cite the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB), Nevada Revised Statutes (Title 56, NRS Chapter 678), the Nevada Department of Taxation, or the published court ruling. We do not paraphrase secondary sources without verifying the underlying statute.
All medical and health claims are sourced from peer-reviewed research and recognized authorities — the National Institutes of Health (NIH), NIDA, NIAAA, SAMHSA, the FDA, the CDC, and peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed. The edible-dosing guidance, the alcohol-interaction warnings, and the desert-heat safety content are grounded in clinical literature, not dispensary marketing.
Content is reviewed annually or whenever a material legal or regulatory change occurs. When the CCB issues a new rule, the legislature passes a relevant bill, a hotel changes its smoking-fee policy, or a dispensary opens or closes, we revise the affected pages and update the “last verified” date. Hotel-policy and dispensary-list pages are reviewed more frequently because those facts change faster than statutory law.
Conflicts of Interest
LasVegasCannabis.org accepts no money from cannabis brands, dispensaries, hemp companies, multi-state operators, lounges, hotels, tour companies, or any state agency. We have no investors with cannabis-industry holdings. We do not run advertising. We do not participate in affiliate programs for cannabis, lounge bookings, hotel stays, or tour packages. We do not accept comped products, sponsored trips, or paid placement of any kind.
Our only revenue source is the broader TryCannabis.org Cannabis Education Network, which operates under the same independence standards. The network is privately owned and self-funded.
What We Do Not Do
- We do not recommend specific dispensaries, lounges, hotels, or tour companies in exchange for compensation.
- We do not list or endorse the unlicensed Strip storefronts that sell hemp products at cannabis prices — the fake-dispensary warning page exists specifically because those storefronts mislead visitors.
- We do not generate AI content without editorial review and source verification against CCB publications and Nevada statute.
- We do not reproduce dispensary or hotel marketing copy as editorial content.
- We do not provide legal advice. Information on this site is educational; readers facing specific legal questions should consult a Nevada-licensed attorney.
- We do not provide medical advice. Patients should consult a qualified clinician.
Contact for Corrections
If you find a factual error on LasVegasCannabis.org — a dispensary that has closed, a hotel whose policy has changed, an outdated fine amount, an incorrect lounge address — please report it through our contact page. We log every correction, fix it on the affected page, and update the “last modified” timestamp so readers can see when the change was made.
Our full sourcing approach is documented on the methodology page.
