Nevada Indian Reservation Sells Fireworks that are Illegal in Las Vegas
Many fireworks that are illegal in Clark County can be legally sold and used in the Moapa River Reservation. The Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza encourages customers to detonate their purchases on the "pad" behind the store. But many of their customers risk arrest for committing the Nevada crime of illegal fireworks by bringing the fireworks into Clark County.
The Nevada crime of illegal fireworks makes it unlawful to possess any type of fireworks in Clark County with one exception. People may buy and use Safe-N-Sane fireworks in Clark County in the week leading up to July Fourth. But after that even the Safe-N-Sane fireworks become illegal.
The Nevada crime of illegal fireworks is punished as a misdemeanor. It carries up to six months in jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines. In addition, the fireworks will be confiscated.
