Tourists visiting Las Vegas may assume that with recreational cannabis being legal in Nevada since January 1, 2017, deliveries would be an easy option—even straight to Strip hotels. But the reality is more complicated.
Although licensed dispensaries can legally deliver recreational cannabis, Nevada law restricts deliveries strictly to private residences—single-family homes, apartments, condos—not hotels, casinos, or other commercial properties. Major providers like Oasis Cannabis and Cultivate offer same-day delivery throughout the metro area, but explicitly prohibit hotel deliveries.
Weedmaps confirms delivery is legal in Las Vegas but only to residential addresses within service zones—not the Strip. Dispensaries such as NuLeaf state clearly: “We do not deliver to hotels, resorts, or casinos.”
Thus, a tourist booked at a casino-hotel cannot order weed to their door. They must be prepared to pick up their order elsewhere or use alternative consumption options.
Alternative Options for Tourists
- Curbside pickup or walk-in at nearby dispensaries
Dispensaries cluster just off the Strip—NuLeaf, Planet 13, and others are a short taxi or ride-share ride away. Planet 13, for example, offers curbside pickup and delivery to nearby residential addresses with low minimum orders. - Consumption lounges
Legal lounges allow on-site cannabis use. “Smoke & Mirrors,” the first state-licensed cannabis lounge in Las Vegas, opened near Resorts World in early 2024. It offers a cocktail-bar ambiance, THC-infused mocktails, live music, and a relaxed environment. These lounges let tourists legally consume on location. - Cannabis-friendly hotels
A few off-Strip properties, like The Lexi, allow smoking in designated rooms or floors, equipped with proper ventilation systems—legally meeting Nevada’s private-property requirement. - Private residence shipments
Tourists could ship cannabis to a friend’s rental home or VRBO—where legal—but again, not to hotels. - Discreet vaping
Some Reddit users suggest disposable vapes for discreet usage off-Strip, noting enforcement is lax compared to public smoking. - Consuming edibles or tinctures
Since smoking is banned in hotel rooms, tourists may prefer edibles, capsules, or vape pens (where allowed). Always check hotel anti-smoke policies to avoid fines or eviction.
In Summary
While recreational cannabis is legal in Nevada and delivery services abound, tourists cannot receive deliveries directly at Strip hotels or casino-resorts. Instead, they must use creative approaches:
- Pick up their purchases from dispensaries near the Strip,
- Visit licensed consumption lounges like Smoke & Mirrors,
- Stay at cannabis-friendly hotels such as The Lexi,
- Or opt for edibles/vapes and discreet off-site consumption.
By understanding these rules and options, tourists can enjoy cannabis responsibly—without running afoul of law or hotel policy—while making the most of their Vegas experience.
