Laughlin is a small, unincorporated city in Clark County, Nevada. Although Laughlin’s population is only seven thousand people, its many casinos are the sites of arrests for such crimes as unpaid casino markers in Nevada, solicitation of prostitution, and trespass. Other frequently charged crimes are Laughlin DUI, robbery, larceny and burglary in Nevada.
Laughlin Court and Laughlin Jail
Being an unincorporated city, Laughlin has only one court as part of its legal system: Laughlin Justice Court handles all misdemeanor crimes (such as Laughlin DUI) as well as felony crimes (such as casino markers in Nevada), but only through the preliminary hearing stage. Afterwards, felony cases may be transferred to the Clark County District Court in downtown Las Vegas.
The court also hears non-criminal cases, including matters involving family law, estate planning, personal injury law, and real estate.
The Laughlin Justice Court is located in the same facility as the Laughlin Jail (also called the Tucker Holding Facility). It holds people awaiting trial or who have been sentenced to jail time for a misdemeanor. The address is 101 Civil Way, Laughlin, NV 89029.
