City Of Las Vegas Offers Temporary Option
For Paying Qualifying Parking Tickets
Pay Tickets Issued Oct. 1-Nov. 13 With New Toys
The city of Las Vegas will allow qualifying parking tickets issued between Oct. 1, 2026, and Nov. 13, 2026, to be paid with donations of toys. Any toys taken in by the city through the program will be donated to Chicanos Por La Causa, a nonprofit corporation that assists homeless families to obtain permanent housing. Toys will be collected through Dec. 14, 2026, at the city of Las Vegas Parking Services Office, located at 350 S. City Parkway in Las Vegas, open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5:15 p.m.
Those who have a parking infraction in the city of Las Vegas between Oct. 1 and Nov. 13, 2026, may satisfy their tickets by bringing new, unwrapped toy(s) of equal or greater value than their fine to the Parking Services Offices at 350 S. City Parkway within 30 days of their citation date. A purchase receipt for the donation is required. In addition, those with tickets may purchase toy(s) online and have them delivered to the Parking Services Office with their citation number in the notes section of the delivery.
In July of 2016, the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the establishment of this occasional program allowing for charitable donations in lieu of payment for parking fines as amended Feb. 1, 2023, allowing the program to be administratively approved by the City Manager.
Some of the items being accepted include:
- Family-friendly games for all ages (Candyland, Monopoly, Clue, Connect 4, Jenga, UNO, Operation, Sorry, etc.)
