Cannabis and XS Nightclub – What are the Wynn Hotels laws for cannabis consumption in Las Vegas ?
Las Vegas has been long known to the public as the Sin City of the world. A place where you can indulge and satisfy your wild side unless you have been detached from the living world for the past few years, you will know that marijuana was legalized in Nevada as of 2017.
This means that you can buy weed straight from a retail store, just like you would buy groceries. Now you don’t have to buy your 420’s from a shady seller that your friend recommended at exorbitant prices.
There is no need for you to carry fancy documents for you to buy cannabis. If you are coming to Las Vegas, chances are that you are probably coming to do something that is illegal, at least in your city or hometown.
Here are some tips and things you should know before you make that trip.
Can anyone buy marijuana in Nevada?
In short, yes. If you are 21 or over the age of 21 you have the legal right to obtain cannabis without any fuss from the cops or anyone else.
You would have to submit a Government-issued ID, Driver’s license or passport. It must be valid at the time of purchase and cannot be expired.
If you have a medical card for medicinal purchase, it is best you carry it with you. Even if you don’t need a medical card for purchasing weed, having a medical card will reduce 10% of the retail tax, and you will be given the option to more variety and more potent form of weed.
How much weed you can buy
Can you buy as much weed as you want? No. Recreational marijuana permits up to 1/8 of an ounce. This does not apply for medical purposes.
For medical purposes, you can buy up to 2.5 ounces within 14 days of time.
The difference between Medicinal purchase and Recreational purchase is that medicinal purchases are recorded, and Recreational purchases aren’t.
Why is that important? This means that although you are allowed more allowance on your medicinal purchases, in practice you can obtain more weed for your recreational purchases as your recreational purchases are not recorded.
Therefore, you can go to another shop and buy more.
Can you smoke in hotels like the Wynn?
Although weed was legalized in Nevada, you are still not allowed to smoke weed in public. In order for you to smoke legally, it has to be a private home or area.
Even if you are staying in an apartment, you will have to get the permission of the landlord if you wish to smoke legally.
Hotels like the Wynn Las Vegas are not considered private areas and thus smoking weed is not permitted.
There are some lesser-known hotels that permit smoking weed.
Many of the big hotels like the Wynn or resorts tend to have casinos which makes it illegal to smoke weed in them because although weed is legal in Nevada it does not permit weed to be mixed with gambling.
Gambling and casinos are the main attraction for some of the biggest resorts and hotels like the Wynn, and mixing weed with gambling could result in them losing their gaming license.
Conclusion
If you are traveling to Nevada for the first time and smoking weed is a priority, then I suggest skipping the hotels with casinos in it.
Find a weed-friendly hotel where you can smoke freely or better, if you have friends in Nevada, best you stay with them.
It is important that you carry some type of Government-issued ID, as it is required for legal purchasing of cannabis. Make sure that it is not expired.
