Pay Your Recent Parking Ticket With Toys & Games!

Las Vegas City Manager Mike Janssen approved allowing qualifying parking tickets issued between Oct. 1 and Nov. 15, 2024, to be paid with donations of toys and games. Any donations 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.

Those who receive a non-public-safety parking infraction in the city of Las Vegas Oct. 1-Nov. 15, 2024, may satisfy their tickets by bringing new, unwrapped toys/games of equal or greater value to their fine to the Parking Services Offices at 350 S. City Parkway within 30 days of their citation date. An accompanying receipt of purchase for the donation is required. In addition, those with tickets may purchase toys online and have them delivered to the Parking Services Office with their citation number in the notes section of the delivery.

This year our holiday program is geared towards family engagement. We are asking for family-friendly, multi-player games so that kids of all ages will be included in our donation assortment.

Some of the items being accepted include:

• Family-friendly games for all ages (Candyland, Monopoly, Connect 4, Jenga, UNO, Operation, Sorry, etc.)
• Gift cards
• Age-appropriate toys (children in the program range from 6 months to 18 years old)
• Stocking stuffers

Qualifying citations include overtime meter, restricted time zone, abandoned vehicle, commercial vehicle/tour buses only, bus or taxi zone, loading/unloading zone, registration not displayed, parked after park hours, taking two spaces, and vehicle parked more than 72 hours. Other citations may also be eligible; call 702.229.4700 for more information.

In July 2016, the City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the establishment of this occasional program allowing for charitable donations in lieu of payment for non-public safety violation parking fines as amended Feb. 1, 2023, allowing the program to be administratively approved by the city manager.
