In 2005, the city court moved to the Regional Justice Center (RJC), along with the Las Vegas Court of Justice, the Eighth Judicial District Court, and the Nevada Supreme Court. When the RJC opened, the Judicial Court had nine divisions and the District Court 21. The district court has 32. Having all the dishes in one place was a great idea and made sense, but it didn`t take long for the dishes to grow beyond the room. On May 3, 2021, the Las Vegas City Court opened for a brand new courthouse at 100 East Clark Ave., southwest of the Regional Justice Center. The 140,000-square-foot building houses six criminal divisions, the Traffic Court, the Criminal Division of the City Attorney`s Office, the Department of Public Safety Dispatch, and the many departments of the Las Vegas Municipal Court. With about 150 employees working in the new District Court building, as well as our clients, lawyers, litigants and witnesses, we see about 1,000 people in this building every day. The Las Vegas City Courthouse is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the entrance located at the northwest corner of Clark Avenue and First Street. Paid parking is available on the property at First Street and Bonneville or at the City Parking Garage at 500 S.

Las Vegas City Court has always shared space with others in the past. In 1911, when the city of Las Vegas was founded and the court was established, it shared a small building with the Clark County offices. Then, in 1914, a two-story courthouse was built on Third Street and Bridger Avenue, housing the District Courts as well as the City Court. In 1931, the Las Vegas City Court moved to a large room behind the prison attached to the Las Vegas Police Station. It was behind the Apache Hotel where the Binion Game Room now stands. In 1947, the court moved into a caravan behind a new police station, now the parking lot of the California Hotel-Casino. In 1974, we moved to a new town hall, which now houses Zappo. An extension of this location took place in 1996, which was affectionately called trailers.
