Carry restrictions in Las Vegas?

[Boink]

Going to Las Vegas from NY. What are the restrictions in Las Vegas so that I'll know what steel to pack in the luggage?

Just landed at JFK from McCarren about 20 hours ago.

It never even occurred to me to check laws/restrictions out there (oops! ) I carried a Paramilitary everywhere we went, because I traded for it just before we left and I wanted to try it. Otherwise it would've been my EDC Military. Sorry I don't have specific legal info. Fact is, nobody even looked twice.

Where you stayin'?

Moving to Knife Laws ...

Couger - Being here, I'll never get a response. It's like in the dead zone. There's a thread in Knife discussion Forum asking about what knife for defense - maybe this should be sent over to Practical Tactical. I see a whole bunch others that can be shuttled here and there. Might as well be consistent.

A buddy was told he couldn't wear his multitool in a casino. I don't know whether it is a law, a casino policy or just my friend.

I'd like to dig this thread up since I will be visiting Vegas soon.

Any Nevada residents would care to comment on general knife restrictions on size, lock type, etc?

Nevada seems like a pretty free state to me so hopefully carrying a large sebenza or something similary sized in your pocket with the clip sticking out is OK.

NRS 202.350 Manufacture, importation, possession or use of dangerous weapon or silencer; carrying concealed weapon without permit; penalties; issuance of permit to carry concealed weapon; exceptions.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section and NRS 202.355 and 202.3653 to 202.369, inclusive, a person within this state shall not:

(a) Manufacture or cause to be manufactured, or import into the State, or keep, offer or expose for sale, or give, lend or possess any knife which is made an integral part of a belt buckle or any instrument or weapon of the kind commonly known as a switchblade knife, blackjack, slungshot, billy, sand-club, sandbag or metal knuckles;
(d) Carry concealed upon his person any:

(1) Explosive substance, other than ammunition or any components thereof;
(2) Dirk, dagger or machete;
(3) Pistol, revolver or other firearm, or other dangerous or deadly weapon; or
(4) Knife which is made an integral part of a belt buckle.

7. As used in this section:

(f) “Switchblade knife” means a spring-blade knife, snap-blade knife or any other knife having the appearance of a pocket knife, any blade of which is 2 or more inches long and which can be released automatically by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle or other mechanical device, or is released by any type of mechanism. The term does not include a knife which has a blade that is held in place by a spring if the blade does not have any type of automatic release.
(g) “Trefoil” means an instrument consisting of a metal plate having three or more radiating points with sharp edges, designed in the shape of a star, cross or other geometric figure and used as a weapon for throwing.

No length limit, concealed or otherwise, and you can carry balisongs and 2" autos. No beltbuckle knives,"dirks", "daggers", or "ninja stars".

Individual establishments (casinos or whatnot) might restrict certain things, as is their right to do since it's private property. I wouldn't know for sure though, I've never been there.
