Quick Budget Answer
Expect to spend $50–$150 on cannabis products for a typical 2–3 day Vegas trip, plus $15–$40 on transportation to dispensaries. Add 18–20% tax on top of all listed product prices.
Multiply any listed dispensary price by 1.2 to get your actual out-the-door cost. A $50 product will cost you about $59–$60 after Clark County taxes.
Product Prices at Las Vegas Dispensaries
Prices vary between dispensaries. Tourist-heavy locations near the Strip may charge more than those further out. These are typical ranges as of 2026:

|---|---|---|
| Edibles (gummies, chocolates) | $15–$30 per package (100mg) | Hotel stays, beginners, discretion |

The Tax Hit
Every dispensary price you see is before tax. Las Vegas adds two layers:
- 10% state retail excise tax — on all recreational purchases (medical cardholders are exempt)
- 8.375% Clark County sales tax — on all purchases including medical
| Listed Price | Excise Tax (10%) | Sales Tax (8.375%) | You Pay | With Medical Card |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $25 | $2.50 | $2.30 | $29.80 | $27.09 |
| $50 | $5.00 | $4.61 | $59.61 | $54.19 |
| $100 | $10.00 | $9.21 | $119.21 | $108.38 |
| $200 | $20.00 | $18.43 | $238.43 | $216.75 |
Transportation Costs
Real dispensaries are off the Strip (1,500-foot gaming license rule), so you need transport.
| Method | Cost (One Way) | Roundtrip |
|---|---|---|
| Uber / Lyft | $8–$20 | $16–$40 |
| Taxi | $10–$25 | $20–$50 |
| Planet 13 Shuttle | Free | Free |
| Rental Car | $0 (if you have one) | $0 + parking (usually free) |
Planet 13 offers a free shuttle from select Strip hotels. Check their website for current pickup locations. This alone can save you $30–$40 roundtrip.

Money-Saving Tips
- Check for deals: Most dispensaries offer daily specials, first-time visitor discounts (15–20% off), and loyalty programs. Check dispensary websites or Leafly/Weedmaps before going.
- Use Planet 13's free shuttle: Saves $30–$40 roundtrip on transport.
- Buy edibles if you're on a budget: Cheapest per-hour of effect and require no accessories.
- Bring your medical card: If you have one from any state, it saves 10% excise tax on every purchase.
- Buy accessories at smoke shops: Grinders, batteries, and papers are cheaper off the dispensary shelf.
- Compare prices: Don't buy at the first dispensary. Prices can vary 20–30% between locations.
- Don't overbuy: You can't take it home. Plan purchases for what you'll actually consume during your trip.
- Consider pre-ordering online: Many dispensaries let you browse menus and place orders for pickup, saving time and ensuring deals aren't sold out.
Common Budget Mistakes
| Mistake | What It Costs You |
|---|---|
| Forgetting about tax | 18–20% more than listed prices |
| Overbuying and wasting product before your flight | Whatever you throw in the amnesty box |
| Buying at a fake Strip shop | $20–$60 on hemp that won't work |
| Buying accessories at dispensary prices | $10–$20 more than a smoke shop |
| Getting a hotel cleaning fee | $250–$1,000 — the most expensive "cannabis cost" in Vegas |
A single hotel cleaning fee ($250–$1,000) costs more than most tourists spend on cannabis during their entire trip. Use edibles in your room, or consume at a lounge or cannabis-friendly rental. Don't risk it.
