Cannabis parties in Las Vegas are unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
Whether you’re a Vegas local or soon-to-be tourist planning a vacation, the resources shared here will help you make the most of your time in the Nevadan desert.
Cannabis became recreationally legal in 2017. Since then, a number of dispensaries, lounges, and 420-themed hotels have budded throughout the city. With these amenities available to tokers, cannabis parties in Las Vegas are abundant (but knowing how to find them is key to partaking in one).
However, public cannabis usage in Las Vegas isn’t legal and likely won’t be for some time to come. The only exception to this is the Native-American owned NuWu Cannabis Marketplace.
Because the dispensary sits on tribe-owned land, they’re not bound by state regulations. This allowed them to introduce a public cannabis-consumption lounge (the first of its kind in LV).
In Las Vegas, it’s the only place you can legally enjoy cannabis in a public setting.
But this doesn’t mean there aren’t other cannabis-themed events or enjoyments to partake in. Las Vegas is known for entertainment, shows, and all-night outings. Today, they’re also known for world-class cannabis; now you can purchase cannabis right on the strip (talk about convenience).
As a five-time Vegas tourist and cannabis activist/user, I must say, cannabis parties in Las Vegas are best discovered by meeting in-circle locals. This is why visiting dispensaries is a must as it allows you to network with other like-minded, cannabis-using guests that are also seeking a festive time.
For obvious reasons, the NuWu’s tasting lounge is one of the best places to meet others that may be coordinating a cannabis party, get-together, or event. It’s a public tasting lounge so there are often many guests here at any given time.
But, visiting a dispensary is your best bet, especially considering that most dispensaries advertise and promote local cannabis events and parties. Visiting a dispensary is your opportunity to learn of upcoming events from a budtender or from those that are there for the same reasons as you.
Some of the best Las Vegas dispensaries to visit include:
Planet 13 Las Vegas
By far, this is my favorite Las Vegas dispensary.
For one, its nightclub-inspired atmosphere makes for a dispensary experience unlike any other. But second, the number of guests Planet 13 attracts is mind-blowing.
I cannot begin to tell you how many cool residents and locals I’ve met at Planet 13, not to mention the number of cannabis parties in Las Vegas I’ve been invited to by those I’ve met here.
The self-proclaimed cannabis superstore has 3D wall-projected art, LED flooring, and an endless selection of strains and products. Needless to say, everything one could need can be found at Planet 13.
At Planet 13, guests are welcomed in by a huge water-fountain globe that closely resembles the iconic globe found at Universal Studios. Like many Vegas-based dispensaries, Planet 13 is designed to entertain guests just as much they are to sell cannabis.
Just as most strip clubs in Vegas do, Planet 13 offers complimentary transportation services, which is available round-the-clock. If that’s not enough to get you in the door, they also sell Planet 13-exclusive strains and products that won’t be found anywhere else and their text-rewards program will ensure you get the best deals in town.
Because of Planet 13’s social status and popularity, it’s now one of the most-visited dispensaries in Vegas. If you’re looking for cannabis parties in Las Vegas and want the best cannabis products around, Planet 13 is a great hub for meeting other similar-interest tourists and for getting your hands on the finest-quality flower available.
I’ve networked with visitors such as me at Planet 13 my past two trips, and the people I’ve met were pretty awesome and laid back, and many, to my surprise, were also interested in cannabis parties in Las Vegas (so this is a great way to find some).

Reef Dispensaries
I first visited a Reef Dispensaries location during my Arizona vacation last summer.
Overall, I was very impressed with their selection, customer service, and superior budtender support.
A little interesting occurrence on this trip was that I and my partner met another couple at the dispensary.
We exchanged information and on the day we met accepted their invitation to a cannabis-stargazing event (which was incredible). That’s another story, but I share this as it goes to show how easy a cannabis event or party can be learned of simply by networking with others at cannabis shops.
Arizona isn’t the only home to Reef Dispensaries though, they have a presence in Las Vegas and I had the opportunity to visit their Sin City location during my last trip. To sum it up, their Las Vegas store comes across as a modern-day tech store; sleek cabinetry, wood-floored grounds, and glass-encased enclosures prominently displaying products that create the Apple-store ambiance.
They not only sell cannabis but also cultivate the marijuana they showcase (so quality is monitored in-house from “seed to sale”). Not only that, but they carry exclusive products you won’t find anywhere else; such as Khalifa Kush products.
Finding cannabis parties in Las Vegas can be easy if visiting Reef Dispensaries. I say that because the last time I visited their LV location, they had fliers for upcoming cannabis-culture events. That said, there’s a good chance you can learn about the latest parties and events from their staff during your visit.
