DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI)
In Nevada, it is against the law to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs that impair one's ability to drive or control a vehicle safely. DUI can be charged as:
Driving or being in actual physical control while under the influence of intoxicating liquor;
Driving or being in actual physical control with an alcohol content in one's blood or breath (BAC) of .08% or higher;
Driving or being in actual physical control while under the influence of a controlled substance;
Driving or being in actual physical control while under the combined influence of intoxicating liquor and a controlled substance; or,
Driving or being in actual physical control while under the influence of a prohibited substance.

Field Sobriety Tests
A law enforcement officer may ask a DUI suspect to perform Field Sobriety Tests in order to evaluate the coordination and concentration abilities of the suspect in determining whether probably cause exists to support an arrest for DUI.

Testing for Intoxicants
A DUI suspect may be requested to give his or her consent to a Preliminary Breath Test (PBT) to determine the concentration of alcohol in the suspect's breath. That test is not admissible evidence in a criminal trial except to show there were reasonable grounds to make an arrest. A PBT reading can give an officer grounds to investigate further for a DUI arrest and prosecution.

Blood tests, breath analysis and urine tests can be performed to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs in a person's system for purposes of criminal prosecution. Those tests are administered at the Clark County Detention Facility (Jail) by trained Crime Lab professionals after a suspect has been arrested. If an arrestee refuses testing, law enforcement officers may request a Search and Seizure Warrant for Blood from a Judge.
