Nevada’s alcohol laws blend progressive allowances with strict controls, especially around delivery and serving times. Recent updates permit home delivery of sealed drinks from qualified bars and restaurants.
Home Delivery Rules
A 2025 law (AB 375) allows bars and restaurants to deliver sealed alcoholic beverages, including mixed cocktails, with food orders if approved by local counties or cities like Clark County and Las Vegas. Delivery drivers need an alcohol awareness card, customers must verify age via ID scanning, and a 50-cent surcharge per sale funds DUI prevention programs.​
Happy Hour Restrictions
Happy hours offering discounted drinks are banned statewide to curb overconsumption; instead, promotions like two-for-one deals or free drinks with meals are prohibited during peak times. Bars can offer daily specials but not time-limited “happy hours.”​
Serving and Sales Limits
Alcohol sales end at 2 a.m. daily in most areas, with no sales on certain holidays, and open containers are illegal in vehicles. Grocery stores and convenience marts can sell beer and wine, but spirits require licensed liquor stores. The “Picon Punch” was named the official state drink in 2025.​
Local Variations
Regulations differ by jurisdiction—Las Vegas and Reno have looser rules for to-go sales post-COVID, but deliveries to casinos are geo-fenced. Violations like serving minors carry fines up to $5,000 and license revocation.
