Resources For Getting Home Safe in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve 2019-2020

Las Vegas police have sobriety checkpoints, extra patrols, roving patrols and other procedures in place on New Year’s to keep the roads safe. Zero Fatalities reports that the cost of a DUI can easily rise to $10,000 when attorney’s fees and associated court costs are considered. So don’t drive drunk. It’s just not worth it.

According to 8 Ball Bail Bonds, the holidays are an especially deadly time on Nevada’s roadways with many driving while intoxicated. Bail agents at 8-Ball Bail Bonds in downtown Las Vegas report that nearly 40 percent of their business involves those arrested for DUIs and they see a lot of activity on New Year’s Eve.

In addition to the 16 Taxicab companies in operation, the following are various FREE and fee-based Safe Ride programs available in the Las Vegas / Henderson area on New Year’s for you to use to get yourself and your vehicle home safe without having to get behind the wheel:
