What Planet 13 Is and Where to Find It

Planet 13 is a cannabis lounge and retail location operated in Las Vegas, Nevada. It functions as both a dispensary where you can purchase cannabis products and a consumption lounge where adults can use cannabis on-site — a model that exists in only a handful of locations across the United States because most states and cities prohibit on-premises consumption.

The main Planet 13 location is situated on the Las Vegas Strip. The facility is designed as a large-scale entertainment venue rather than a typical dispensary, with multiple floors, retail areas, and dedicated lounge spaces. The lounge operates under Nevada state law, which permits cannabis consumption in licensed lounges in certain jurisdictions, including Las Vegas.

Planet 13 is a private business, not a government program or public facility. It is owned and operated by Planet 13 Holdings Inc., a publicly traded cannabis company. Understanding this distinction matters because your experience there is governed by the business's house rules and Nevada cannabis law, not by any federal or state benefit program.

Age, ID, and Entry Requirements

You must be at least 21 years old to enter Planet 13's lounge area or purchase cannabis products. Nevada law requires this age minimum for all cannabis purchases and consumption in licensed lounges. You will need to present a valid government-issued photo ID — a driver's license, passport, state ID card, or military ID all work. Planet 13 staff will check your ID at entry, and you cannot proceed without one.

If you do not have a valid ID or are under 21, you will not be permitted to enter the lounge or purchase products. There are no exceptions to this requirement. If your ID is expired, some venues accept it if it was valid when issued and still shows your photo clearly, but Planet 13's specific policy on expired IDs may vary — calling ahead to confirm is the safest approach.

Planet 13 is a private venue, so the business reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone who does not meet its house rules or who appears impaired. If you are already intoxicated when you arrive, staff may deny you entry to prevent overconsumption.

How Admission and Pricing Work

Planet 13 operates on a model where you either pay an admission fee to enter the lounge or meet a minimum purchase requirement. The specific structure — whether admission is charged, waived with a purchase, or tiered by time of day — can change. Pricing is not set by law but by the business itself, so it varies and may differ on weekdays versus weekends or during peak hours.

Cannabis products sold at Planet 13 are priced like any retail cannabis — the cost depends on the product type, potency, brand, and quantity. Flower, edibles, concentrates, and pre-rolled joints all carry different price points. Nevada taxes cannabis sales at the state level, and Las Vegas may add local taxes, so the final price you pay includes these taxes on top of the base product cost.

Planet 13 may offer loyalty programs, discounts for first-time visitors, or specials during certain hours. These promotions change, so checking the business's website or calling before you visit will give you current pricing and any deals available on the day you plan to go.

What Products Are Available and How They Are Regulated

Planet 13 stocks cannabis flower, pre-rolled joints, edibles, concentrates, topicals, and tinctures — the full range of product types available in Nevada's legal market. All products sold must be tested and labeled under Nevada cannabis regulations. Each product carries a label showing THC and CBD content, ingredients, testing results, and warnings.

Nevada's cannabis tracking system, called Metrc, follows every product from cultivation through sale. This means every item sold at Planet 13 has been tested for potency, pesticides, and mold by a state-licensed lab. The testing and tracking do not may provide a product will work a certain way for you personally — individual responses to cannabis vary widely — but they do mean the product's contents match what the label says.

Products are not returnable once purchased, even if you change your mind or have a reaction you did not expect. This is standard across Nevada cannabis retail. If you are new to cannabis or unsure about dosing, Planet 13 staff can answer questions about product types and typical potency ranges, though they cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Lounge Rules and What You Can and Cannot Do

Planet 13's lounge has specific rules about consumption. You can consume cannabis products you purchase on-site in designated lounge areas — you cannot bring cannabis from outside the venue. The lounge typically prohibits alcohol, tobacco, and outside food and beverages. You also cannot consume cannabis in Nevada's public spaces, on the street, or in your hotel room (even if you are staying on the Strip), so the lounge is one of the few legal places to use cannabis if you do not live in Nevada.

Staff enforce these rules and can ask you to leave if you violate them. Common violations include attempting to bring outside cannabis in, consuming in non-designated areas, being disruptive, or appearing dangerously impaired. If you are asked to leave, you will not receive a refund for admission or unused products.

The lounge has time limits on how long you can stay, though the exact duration depends on how busy the venue is and Planet 13's current policies. It is not a place to spend an entire day — it is designed for a visit of a few hours. Capacity limits may explore, especially during peak hours, so arriving during off-peak times may mean shorter wait times.

How Consumption Works in the Lounge

Once you purchase a product, you can consume it in the designated lounge areas. Planet 13 provides spaces with seating, entertainment, and sometimes food and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase. The lounge atmosphere is designed to be social and entertainment-focused, similar to a bar or lounge, but for cannabis instead of alcohol.

You control how much you consume and at what pace. If you are new to cannabis, starting with a small amount is standard practice — you can always consume more, but you cannot undo consumption. Edibles take 1 to 2 hours to take effect and last much longer than smoked or vaped cannabis, so if you choose an edible, plan accordingly and do not consume more while waiting for the first dose to kick in.

Planet 13 staff are present in the lounge but are not medical personnel. If you experience severe anxiety, panic, rapid heart rate, or other concerning symptoms, tell staff when ready. They can provide water, a quiet space, or call for medical help if needed. These reactions are rare but possible, especially with high-potency products or if you consume more than intended.

Transportation and Legal Considerations After Leaving

You cannot drive under the influence of cannabis in Nevada. Driving impaired by cannabis is illegal and carries the same penalties as driving under the influence of alcohol — arrest, license suspension, and criminal charges. If you consumed cannabis at Planet 13, you must arrange alternative transportation: a taxi, rideshare service, designated driver, or public transit.

You also cannot take cannabis products across state lines. If you purchased products at Planet 13 and are traveling to another state, leaving them behind is required by federal law. Cannabis remains illegal federally, and transporting it across state borders is a federal crime, even if you are traveling to another state where cannabis is legal.

If you are staying in Las Vegas and consumed cannabis at Planet 13, you cannot legally consume it in your hotel room — Nevada law prohibits cannabis use in enclosed spaces where it is not specifically permitted. The lounge is the legal place to use cannabis; your hotel room is not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a medical cannabis card to visit Planet 13?

No. Planet 13's lounge is open to adults 21 and older with a valid ID. Nevada allows both recreational and medical cannabis use, but the lounge does not require a medical card. If you have a medical card, you may receive different pricing or access to medical-only products, but a card is not necessary to enter or purchase.

What happens if I consume too much cannabis at the lounge?

Tell a staff member when ready. They can provide water, move you to a quieter area, or call for medical help if needed. Overconsumption of cannabis is uncomfortable but not life-threatening. Effects typically wear off within a few hours. Do not drive or operate machinery until you feel completely normal.

Can I bring my own cannabis products into Planet 13?

No. Planet 13 only permits consumption of products purchased on-site. Bringing outside cannabis into the lounge violates house rules and may result in being asked to leave without a refund. This policy exists partly for liability and partly because Nevada law restricts where cannabis can be consumed.

Is Planet 13 the only cannabis lounge in Las Vegas?

No, but it is one of the largest and most well-known. Nevada law permits cannabis lounges in certain jurisdictions, and Las Vegas has several. Planet 13 is the most prominent, but other lounges operate in the area. Each has its own pricing, atmosphere, and house rules.

What if I am visiting Las Vegas and do not live in Nevada — can I still purchase cannabis?

Yes. Nevada allows any adult 21 or older with a valid ID to purchase cannabis, regardless of residency. You do not need to be a Nevada resident. However, you cannot take cannabis products out of Nevada — they must be consumed in Nevada or left behind when you leave the state.
