You walked back to your car and there it was. That little envelope under your wiper. Welcome to Las Vegas. You got a ticket. How to pay a Las Vegas parking ticket is covered here.
The good news is paying a Las Vegas parking ticket is genuinely easy — as long as you know which system you’re dealing with. And that’s where most people get confused, because where you pay depends entirely on where you got the ticket.
Here’s exactly what to do.
First: Figure Out Who Issued Your Ticket
This is the step everyone skips and then wonders why they can’t find their ticket online.
Las Vegas has multiple jurisdictions, and each one has its own payment system. Check the top of your ticket — it will show which agency issued it, and that tells you exactly where to go.
- City of Las Vegas (the Strip corridor, downtown, city streets) — pay at lasvegas.aimsparking.com
- Unincorporated Clark County (most residential areas outside city limits) — pay at clarkcountynv.gov
- North Las Vegas — pay at cityofnorthlasvegas.com
- Henderson — pay through Henderson Municipal Court
- Traffic citations from a police officer (moving violations, not parking) — pay at lasvegasjusticecourt.us

This covers most tickets you’ll get on or near the Strip, in downtown Las Vegas, and on city-maintained streets.

Can’t find your ticket online? Call 702-229-4700 or email parkingticket@lasvegasnevada.gov. Sometimes it just hasn’t been entered into the system yet — give it a few days.
How to Pay a Traffic Citation (Moving Violation)
If a police officer handed you a ticket — not a parking officer leaving one on your windshield — that’s handled differently. Go to lasvegasjusticecourt.us and use the traffic case search tab.
You can also pay in person at: Las Vegas Justice Court, Customer Service Division
Regional Justice Center, 1st Floor
200 Lewis Avenue, Las Vegas
They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, cash, cashier’s check, and money order. No personal checks.
One thing worth knowing: If this is your first citation in the last 36 months, you may be able to get a moving violation reduced to a non-moving violation — which means zero demerit points on your license — by completing a Nevada DMV-approved 5-hour traffic safety course. Ask at the Justice Court Customer Service window about eligibility before you just pay it.
What Happens If You Don’t Pay
This is where people get themselves into real trouble.
For a city parking ticket, ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. Penalties escalate, and unpaid tickets can eventually affect your vehicle registration renewal in Nevada. You won’t be able to renew your plates until the balance is cleared.
For a traffic citation, you have 90 days from the date it becomes available online to resolve it. After that, a failure to appear can result in a warrant — and that’s a much bigger problem than the original ticket.
The bottom line: pay it or contest it, but don’t ignore it. For the full breakdown on what happens when tickets go unpaid, see: What Happens If You Have an Unpaid Parking Ticket in Las Vegas?
Want to Fight It Instead?
If you think the ticket was wrong, you can appeal online through the same payment portal — lasvegas.aimsparking.com — or request a hearing through Las Vegas Justice Court.
