Looks like new rules have been posted on Fremont Street Mall downtown Las Vegas. This may come as a surprise to many but not Vital Vegas. He may have approved some of these rules and rightfully so.
According to Las Vegas municipal code 11.68, the rules are as follows. We are just now seeing this posted on a lone pillar on Fremont Street mall.

Marijuana consumption is off limits on Fremont Street
is off-limits due to the fact that Fremont Street can smell like you are hotboxing with a bunch of people all over the world. No matter where you walk on Fremont Street you can get a waft of someone’s pungent cloud of smoke and then another. But it all seems to have dissipated since reading the ordinance and you can now breath in a healthy dose of cigarette or cigar smoke.
This may further the demand for consumption lounges in the area for people to go and smoke up their favorite herb blend. So far, you can go to NuWu Market Place for it has its own consumption lounge that you can chill at just North on Main Street and Washington.
No animals in the mall (ADA approved only)
Accept if you have ADA-approved pets (American Disabilities Act). Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
This does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act.
Some State and local laws also define service animal more broadly than the ADA does. Information about such laws can be obtained from the relevant State attorney general’s office.
No Alcohol in Cans or Bottles
Looks like the sippy cup has won in this instance. Glass bottles are a hazard when dropped on hard surfaces and shards of glass are strewn all over the place. Plus, can be just as hazardous if stepped on and you lose your balance and have an unfortunate fall. This rule has been in effect for some time now. Nothing new here.
Cans and glass must accompany a bag from the retailer that you bought it from as you exit the store. From outside you can go to any casino entry and take one of their plastic cups for you to pour your beverage into. This is kind of weird but this is a way for you to consume your alcohol in public and not break any rule while doing so.
No Bicycles Skateboard and any motorized scooters
There goes my chance of showing off any kind of moves I have with my scooter. Actively riding your bike, skateboard and or scooter will not be tolerated and will come with severe beatdowns from the Fremont Street security team. They have a proven record of chasing these perpetrators off the Fremont Street Mall and they don’t want to tarnish their image by anyone thinking they can slip through the cracks.
No Chairs Carts or Wagons
Keep moving is the motto here. They don’t want you popping and squat and with your roll-up cooler full of bottled beer and a couple of kids on skateboards while you decide to light up a spliff with your german shepherd in tow. For now, you’ll have to keep it moving and enjoy all of Fremont Street mall in all its glory.
