I thought it was interesting some of the laws still on the books in Nevada. I found the information at
www.2spare.com.

· A man is forbidden from buying drinks for more than three people other than himself at any one period during the day.

· Clark County: An ordinance makes bringing a concealable fire arm into the county illegal unless it is registered with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. In order to register a handgun, however, it must be brought in to the police station. Furthermore, you may not register a gun on the weekends, but the police may prosecute you at that time.

· Elko: Everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask.

· In Eureka, Nevada men who have mustaches are forbidden from kissing women.

· In Las Vegas, Nevada: It's against the law to pawn your dentures.

· In Las Vegas you can bet on any team--except The University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

· In Nevada sex without a condom is considered illegal.

· In Nevada until the 1960s it was illegal to sell liquor at religious camp meetings, within a half-mile of the state prison, in the State Capitol Building or to imbeciles.

· In Reno, Nevada staging a marathon dance is illegal, although posting a notice on a fire hydrant about illegal dance marathons is not.

· In the old days in Nevada a man caught beating his wife was tied to a stake for eight hours a day with a sign that read, "Wife Beater" fastened to his chest.

· It's illegal in Nevada to have a "house of ill fame" within 400 yards of a church or school.

· It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway.

· It is illegal in Reno, Nevada to conceal a spray-painted shopping cart in your basement.

· It's still "legal" to hang someone for shooting your dog on your property.

· Saloonkeepers had to post the names of habitual drunkards if so requested by the local sheriff or members of the imbibers' immediate families.
