Disorderly conduct is one of the most common offenses in the Las Vegas area. People are often charged with disorderly conduct when a police officer loses their patience with somebody or doesn’t have anything else to charge them with. Disorderly conduct is a “catch- all” phrase that describes any type of unruly or disturbing behavior, which can be perceived as offensive or provoke a public disturbance.

Between the endless casinos, hotels, bars, hopping nightclubs and of course, the constantly flowing alcohol that the infamous adult playground Vegas is so famous for; it’s no wonder visitors and residents alike are charged with disorderly conduct by frustrated law enforcement officials.
