The Lakes · ZIP 89117

Where is The Lakes, and what does that mean for tint?

The Lakes is a west Las Vegas neighborhood built around Lake Sahara, a man-made lake of about 30 acres, between Sahara Avenue and Desert Inn Road just west of Durango Drive. It sits in ZIP 89117, which our tint guide by Summerlin-area ZIP code describes as a mix of older homes, longer commutes to the Strip and mixed vehicle density.

Those commutes run on east–west roads. Heading east on Sahara Avenue or Desert Inn Road in the morning, and back west in the evening, puts a low sun in front of the car, and the side glass takes the heat once it climbs. Nevada allows windshield film only as a strip across the top, so the side and rear glass is where Nano Ceramic does its work: cutting infrared heat, blocking 99% of UV and taking the edge off glare.

Nevada tint law

What tint is legal on a car in Nevada?

Nevada law (NRS 484D.440) sets three limits:

  • Front side windows: must let in at least 35% of light (VLT).
  • Rear side windows and rear window: any darkness, as long as the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides, each giving the driver a view at least 200 feet to the rear.
  • Windshield: only a strip of transparent material across the top, with its bottom edge at least 29 inches above the driver's seat (seat in its rearmost, lowermost position); the strip can't be red or amber.

Laws change, so check current limits with the Nevada DMV before you tint; the full summary is on Nevada's window tint law page.
