4th Of July Fireworks: Big Fines If You’re Caught With Illegal Fireworks

We’re all fired up and ready for the 4^th of July! Americans love to celebrate Independence Day by lighting off fireworks. There are strict laws enforced for having or using illegal fireworks in Nevada. You could end up paying big fines. Nonetheless, leave the illegal stuff to the pros doing the shows on The Strip and Fremont Street.

With this in mind, it would be helpful to know whether or not your fireworks are legal. Here’s how you can tell. You must see a “Safe-N-Sane” label on the fireworks packaging. Furthermore, the fireworks must be purchased from a licensed seller. That seller must be doing business out of a fire department approved booth.

Here are some other types of illegal fireworks, just so you know. Firecrackers, Roman candles, and skyrockets. Basically, if it explodes, flies up into the air, or spins around on the ground, you can bet it’s classified as illegal fireworks in Nevada.

LasVegasNevada.gov has an entire webpage listing information about legal vs. illegal fireworks. Did you know it is illegal to purchase fireworks from vendors outside of Clark County? I didn’t. However, if you bought your fireworks in places like Pahrump, Amargosa Valley, or even from Moapa Band of Paiutes, you can’t bring them here.

You must remember, fireworks are only legal to be lit up in Clark County from June 28^th through 12:01am, July 5^th. If you would like to check out safety tips on lighting your “safe-n-sane” fireworks, click here. In fact, even if the fireworks are labeled safe-n-sane, they can still cause serious injuries. Be careful. Always have adult supervision on hand.

You can light your safe-n-sane fireworks on any city street or sidewalk. You can even light ‘em up in city and county parks. However, do not attempt to light them on federal property. That includes recreational areas at Lake Mead, Mount Charleston, Red Rock, or Spring Mountains.

According to an article written by Caitlin Lilly on Fox5Vegas.com, the minimum fine for having, or lighting, illegal fireworks starts at $500 bucks. With this purpose in mind, Clark County agencies are banding together to combat illegal fireworks. This year, there is a “You Light It, We Write It” campaign underway.

Recent state legislation “also allows for fines of up to $10,000 for large amounts of illegal fireworks found within the community.” So, let’s keep everything safe-n-sane this 4^th of July. That way, no one gets hurt. Also, your bank account doesn’t get hurt either.

Fourth of July is right around the corner so it's time to get dressed up in your best red, white and blue. Las Vegas loves to celebrate holidays in true glamour and Independence day should be no exception.

A large portion of the firework shows happen on the Las Vegas Strip with a few exceptions throughout and around the valley. If you're a last minute planner, we completely understand. If you're family loves to plan ahead, there are a few firework shows happening just a drive away.

As pretty as fireworks look they can also be dangerous. Random street fireworks will be happening all around the 702 so make sure that you protect your animals. Fireworks can be loud and scary for some animals. Please leave them in a safe room with the lights on. We also suggest parking your car in a garage (if you can) or in a safe place. Many locals will launch fireworks in their neighborhoods.

Each of the places listed below start fireworks at or around the same time. Please plan for delays or early starts. Some of the events below charge for admission. Please see each of the location's set ticket prices to appropriately plan upon entry. A couple of the firework places are free to view from the outside street and/or parking lot. We wish you a safe and joyous festivity with family, friends and close loved ones. Please be aware of your surroundings and don't stand too close fireworks.
