Las Vegas DUI Penalties
Nevadas primary DUI penalties are based on a
minimum-maximum system and become more severe
based on the nature of your DUI offense. For
instance, the penalties for your first Nevada DUI
offense are not as severe as the penalties you
would face for a second or third DUI offense.
Additionally, DUI penalties become more severe
if your offense involves the death or substantial
harm to another. Nevada also allows certain
factors to enhance a DUI offense to an
aggravated level, i.e., minor less than 15
years of age in vehicle with you, higher BAC
levels, etc. Below are charts outlining the
penalties you will face for a DUI conviction in
Nevada.

Possible Additional Las Vegas DUI Penalties
In addition to the above penalties, you may be
subject to additional penalties depending upon
the jurisdiction that you were arrested and
charged in.  For instance, you can be arrested
and charged for DUI in the City of Las Vegas, the
City of Henderson, the City of North Las Vegas or
in unincorporated Clark County, Nevada.  Some
jurisdictions impose additional DUI penalties
that could be added to your DUI sentence.  For
example, if you are charged and convicted of DUI
in the City of Las Vegas (Las Vegas Municipal
Court) you may be ordered to attend and
participate in a DUI Coroners Program and the
Las Vegas Municipal Court may also order you to
do or refrain from doing any other act the court
deems reasonable, given the nature of the offense
and the criminal history of the defendant.
