Arrested for DUI in Las Vegas? Your notice sets the date.
The license deadline here
Your paper notice from the DMV prints the date your hearing request is due. That date comes first, and once it passes, your license can be suspended without a hearing.
The rule is the same in Las Vegas as anywhere else in Nevada: request a hearing from the DMV Office of Administrative Hearings before you reinstate with an interlock. The court date on your citation does not pause it (Nevada DMV, suspensions and revocations).

What a first offense costs in Las Vegas
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| Fine | $400 to $1,000 |
| Jail | 2 days to 6 months, or 48 to 96 hours of community service |
| License (DMV) | minimum 185 days revocation |
Nevada sets these ranges, and the judge picks inside them. The state's penalty page has the full text, and the Nevada DUI page covers second offenses and interlocks.
The court that hears the case
Misdemeanor DUI cases from the Las Vegas valley are heard in the Las Vegas Justice Court, which also runs a DUI court program. Visitors arrested on the Strip still have to answer in Nevada, even after flying home.
