Yes, friends  –  it’s legal to buy marijuana in Las Vegas. The land of neon, jackpots, and 4 a.m. sushi now also offers a whole new way to level-up your Vegas experience. But before you start hotboxing your hotel bathroom, a quick reality check: you must be 21+, buy only from licensed dispensaries, and don’t light up in public areas, casinos, or anywhere you might ruin someone else’s vibe. (That includes your hotel room. Some places will charge a fee if you light up in your room.) So, keep it cool, keep it discreet, and keep your adventures safe  –  because no one wants to spend their high explaining themselves to security.

Where to Get Your Kush

Dispensaries in Vegas are a whole production  –  think Apple Store meets candy shop. You’ll find budtenders who can walk you through strains, effects, and even pairings for your evening plans.

• Planet 13  –  The mega-store of marijuana. A 112,000-square-foot playground with interactive art, an on-site restaurant, and more strains than you could try in a month.
• The Dispensary NV  –  Local vibe, solid selection, good for budget-friendly pre-rolls.
• NuWu Cannabis Marketplace  –  Native American – owned and home to Vegas Tasting Room, where you can consume on-site (yes, legally).

What Kind of High Are You Going For?

• Sativa  –  Euphoric, energetic, perfect for walking the Strip and people-watching until your cheeks hurt from smiling.
• Indica  –  Mellow, body-heavy, best for sinking into plush booths at a lounge or melting into your hotel bed after a long day.
• Hybrids  –  Somewhere in between; great if you can’t decide between party animal and pillow fort.
• Edibles  –  Slow burn, longer ride. Always start low and go slow  –  you don’t want to wake up in a different hotel wondering how you got there.

Things to Do When You’re High in Vegas

• The Sphere  –  Mind-blowing visuals that make you question reality. (Did that jellyfish just wink at me?)
• Neon Museum  –  Vintage Vegas signs in a glowing outdoor gallery. Best experienced at night.
• Omega Mart at AREA15  –  Immersive, trippy art-meets-grocery-store fever dream.
• Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens  –  The flowers definitely know you’re high.

Where to Eat When the Munchies Hit

Vegas takes munchies seriously. Whether you’re craving greasy perfection or a gourmet stoner feast:

• Secret Pizza (The Cosmopolitan)  –  No sign, no nonsense, just the best late-night slices on the Strip.
• Lotus of Siam  –  Northern Thai that’s worth the Uber ride. Order the crispy duck and thank me later.
• Eggslut (The Cosmopolitan)  –  Breakfast all day for when time stops making sense.
• FukuBurger  –  Japanese-American fusion burgers that will make your soul happy.

Clubs & Lounges When You’re Stoned

You’re not here to mosh. You want a vibe  –  lights, beats, but a little space to breathe.

• Drai’s Lounge  –  Rooftop views, good seating, and a mix of hip-hop and R&B.
• The Chandelier Bar (The Cosmopolitan)  –  Drinking inside a three-story crystal chandelier feels exactly like you think it would.
• Skyfall Lounge  –  Panoramic views of the Strip; perfect for letting the city lights wash over you.

True Vegas Kush Confessions

“We smoked a blunt in our suite at Resorts World, then went to the Sphere for U2. I swear Bono was talking directly to me. I’m not the same person I was before that night.”  –  James, San Diego

“Edibles at 7 p.m. turned into Secret Pizza at 2 a.m., laughing so hard I cried because my friend dropped her slice on her lap and just… kept eating it.”  –  Riley, Denver

“I hit a vape pen, then wandered the Neon Museum alone. I felt like I was on a first-name basis with every sign. I may have told the Stardust sign I loved it.”  –  Anya, Toronto

“Went to the Marquee Dayclub after smoking a fatty. I locked eyes with this guy across the pool. Next thing I know, we’re in the hot tub, and he’s got both hands on my ass under the water.” – Janelle, Miami

Vegas Kush Survival Guide

Ready to blaze responsibly while enjoying Vegas? Here’s your unofficial “Kush Survival Guide” – quick tips to keep the vibe high and the drama low:

1. Start Low, Go Slow

Edibles especially can sneak up on you. Give ’em at least 60 – 90 minutes before considering more.

2. Know the Strains

• Sativa = energy, ideal for people-watching or the Sphere’s immersive visuals
• Indica = chill, body-mellowing; perfect for lounge vibes or winding down
• Hybrids = the best of both worlds
• Edibles = long-lasting ride – pace accordingly!

3. Stay Legal on the Green

• Use only licensed dispensaries (like Planet 13)
• Don’t smoke in public areas, casinos, or within casinos – Las Vegas ordinances still restrict public use.

• If consuming onsite at a lounge, ensure it’s allowed. 

4. Safe Rides Only

Never drive while high. Taxis, rideshares, or designated sober friends: your best bet for a smooth night.

5. Keep Hydrated & Well-Fed

Stay hydrated and have snacks on hand – or follow your high directly into Secret Pizza, Lotus of Siam, or Eggslut when the munchies strike.

6. Sensitive Venues, Respectful Vibes

At places like Neon Museum or Sphere, your mindfulness matters. Don’t disrupt others with loud behavior or lingering smoke.

7. Plan for Come-Down

Indica or blended strains before bed? Make sure you’re somewhere comfortable. Comfortable suite, easy access to water – and maybe a late-night slice waiting.
