After working 6mos. last year on the strip in L.V.,I can tell you this.Those Clark County Nazi bastards will enterpret the law any way they want to.The biggest headache is a division called the "HOMELAND SECURITY SATURATION TEAM". In spite of the federal law agaqinst impersonating federal agents,these schmucks love to wave around the term "Homeland Security" in thier titles until you make them be specific.They will flat tell you they have"Homeland security issues,so shut down or go to jail".Funny, I asked one officer named Mysz(really spelled that way)if she had anything to do with I.C.E. as i thought there were a lot of very visible Illegals pushing smut cards and ads.I was told "thats out of our jurisdiction".
I.C.E. not D.H.S.? Since when? That's Vegas!

The best way to get left alone is to put you amp and battery(don't use public electrical outlettes)in a rolling suitcase and use cordless mic's.Otherwise you risk a ticket for Illeagal storage of items on a public street.They must be kept in a case "commonly carried by a pedestrian".Also,there is room on Freemont street UNLESS
Casino security doesn't like you.Selective enforcement is common.
There have been recent lawsuits won against both the city of L.V. and M.G.M. concerning this and our first amendment rights,but Metro is H.S.S.T. not L.V.city(they're Clark County)anything south of Sahara on the BRIDGES are the the best pitches.Again, get ready to hear you risk arrest from some Hotel Security Gaurds(M.G.M. especially, owns most of those hotels the bridges are attached to)who think the PUBLIC FORUM rulings were at THEIR discretion.They're not. Show them no FEAR AND BE POLITE AND KEEP COMING BACK UNTIL THEY GET TIRED OF WAITING FOR A COP TO SHOW UP FOR THEIR CELL PHONE CALLS.90% of the time they won't answer the reqest unless they
are PERSONAL FRIENDS with the security guard who called.They do know each other out there.It's a small,small town.
But technically,IT IS LEGAL TO BUSK IN CLARK CONTY NEVADA AND THE A.C.L.U. HAS AN OFFICE THERE WITH PEOOPLE IN IT EXTREMELY USED TO HELPING WITH THIS ISSUE.CALL THEM.       GOOD LUCK
