Nevada’s 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.

6. 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 Coroner’s 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.”
