Question to the Las Vegas listers: Is Las Vegas a smog check state?

I have a sister-in law that lives in Las Vegas and was thinking about registering my 951 with her address.

yes you gotta smog i have no problems passing, its just sniffer a look under the hood
Dfastest told me he had to slip the guy a twenty to pass him

turbo8,

So in Las Vegas, you do not have a rolling dyno that puts a load on the engine?

DFASTEST951

No rolling dyno. If you need help passing, most guys will "help" you pass with a little incentive. I one had to use a 20 to pass. Passed with flying colors too. That was years ago with a cat. Now, without a cat, I pass every time. Crazy. Oh, they don't check for cats either. Just sniff and go.

That's the way it should be! Visual inspections are stupid.

Yes, I triple agree with what was said above, no rollers. They do (or did, it's been 5 years since I moved) an idle and something like a 3k rpm test. Also they do check under the hood for things like smog pumps (not an issue with our cars, I know). I had a garage queen '80SC with headers no cat and a REAL loud sport muffler. I never had an issue in 10 years. Can't remember if they check to make sure the gas filler neck hasn't been tampered with but that's it.

I would suggest just going to a test only station, they are usually cheaper and less of a chance of them failing you 'cause they want to do some work on your car.
