If you are ever in Nevada, make certain you never drive a camel down the highway. It is illegal to do so. That is only one of the laws some online deem to be strange in Nevada.

Another strange law in Nevada is an old law that has never been removed from the books. It is still legal to hang someone who has shot your dog on your property.

There are a variety of laws in cities in Nevada that some deem to be strange.

It is illegal under normal circumstances to carry a concealed weapon in the county in Las Vegas. The reason some deem this law in Nevada to be strange is that it is perfectly legal to carry a concealed weapon if one has a permit from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. To register the gun, you must bring it to the police department. The police may prosecute you whenever they wish for violating the law, but you may only register a gun during the week, not on the weekend.

Also in Las Vegas, it is illegal to pawn dentures.

If you ever walk down the streets of Elmo, make certain you are wearing a mask, if you want to be a law abiding citizen.

In Nyala, one may not legally ever buy drinks for more than three people, other than himself, at any one time.

In Reno, make certain you never lie down on a sidewalk in the downtown redevelopment district. The law also does not allow you to sit on a sidewalk otherwise, or to sit on a chair, blanket, stool, or any object placed on the sidewalk.

It is also illegal to place a bench on any street in Reno. The law also does not allow you to place any chair or other permanent seat on any street, in an alley, or on a sidewalk, except as allowed in Titles 4 and 5 and section 8.12.015.

In Reno, it is also illegal to stage a dance marathon. It is perfectly legal, however, to post a notice on a fire hydrant about a dance marathon.

Also in Reno, it is illegal to conceal a spray-painted shopping cart in the basement of your hose.
