Tomorrow booths will begin appearing across the valley to sell these specially-approved fireworks.
Las Vegas illegal fireworks law makes it a crime to use any of the following types of fireworks at anytime during the year including July Fourth: Chasers, trick matches, M-80s, mortar shells, cigarette loads, autofoolers, and any other type that is not Safe-N-Sane. People suspected of buying or using illegal fireworks will face misdemeanor charges carrying up to six months in jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines.
It is legal to purchase many types of fireworks in Nye County, but Las Vegas illegal fireworks law prohibits people from carrying them across county lines into Clark County. Police may set up checkpoints along Blue Diamond and search cars for people trying to smuggle in fireworks. It's also legal to purchase various non-Safe-N-Sane fireworks in the Moapa Indian Reservation, but for safety reasons the vendors usually require purchases to ignite them on-site.
