The Big House Hunt: How to Check if Your Buddy Became a Vegas Vacation Package (Gone Wrong)
Let's face it, Vegas is a wild place.

This guide will equip you to find out if your friend went from high roller to behind bars.
How To Check If Someone Is In Jail Las Vegas |
Sources: Not All Glittering Websites Are Gold
First things first, forget scouring the neon lights of the Strip for escaped inmates (although, that would be a story!). There are a few official channels to get your investigative juices flowing:
- Clark County Detention Center Inmate Search: This is your best bet for most situations. Head to the Clark County website (official, trustworthy, and with way less glitter than the casinos) and utilize their Inmate Information Search. Just pop in a name and see if it pops out. Pro Tip: If your friend goes by a nickname, try searching for their legal first and last name.
- City of Las Vegas Detention Center: Let's say your friend got a little too rowdy within city limits. Then you'll want to search the CLV Inmate Search. Same process, different website (because Vegas likes options, even in detention centers).
Remember: These searches might not show everyone. There could be a time delay, or folks under 18 or protective custody won't be listed.
Phone a Friend (But Not Your Incarcerated Friend)
If the internet fails you, fear not, trusty phone! Here are some helpful hotlines:
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
- Clark County Detention Center Information Line: (702) 671-3900. Dial this number and unleash your inner detective skills. Be prepared to answer some questions about your friend.
Important Note: While the friendly folks on the other end of the line will do their best to help, they won't be able to share information about everyone due to privacy reasons (think secret identities and all that).
Still Stuck? Don't Lose Hope!
If all else fails, there's always the old fashioned legwork. Try reaching out to mutual friends who might know or contacting the casinos/bars your friend frequented.
However, this might be a good time to re-evaluate your friendship choices. Maybe next time Vegas trip involves a spa day and not questionable impersonations of Elvis.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
