Criminal Penalties in Las Vegas

Criminal penalties may vary dramatically in type and severity depending on the offense for which a defendant has been convicted. The defendant's past criminal history, if any, will also affect potential sentencing. Following are the types of criminal penalties that may be enforced in the Las Vegas:

  • Imprisonment in county jail or a state correctional facility
  • House arrest
  • Community service
  • Fines and court fees
  • Court-ordered restitution
  • Driver's license suspension or revocation
  • Mandatory counseling or rehabilitation
  • Sex offender registration (for sex crimes)

Imprisonment is one of the most well-known and serious forms of punishment the court may enforce. Depending on the case, a defendant may face anywhere from one day in county jail to life in prison. A primary factor that will affect sentencing is whether the crime is classified as a misdemeanor or a felony. A misdemeanor is a lesser offense, punishable by up to one year in county jail. A felony may be punishable by anywhere from one year to life in state prison.
