A U.S. district court judge has denied an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenge to Clark County’s ban against stopping, standing or blocking a pedestrian bridge on the Strip.
Judge Jennifer Dorsey ruled on the 2024 ordinance, also dubbed the “Strip Selfie Ban,” which made it a misdemeanor to “stop, stand, or do something to cause someone to stop or stand” while on the pedestrian bridges overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. Dorsey, who ruled on Sept. 25, said the ordinance did not prevent or interfere with anyone exercising their constitutional or civil rights.
“It is difficult to predict when large crowds may be on the pedestrian bridges — particularly in light of the numerous large concerts, sports events, and conferences held on the Strip on any given day,” Dorsey said in her ruling.
