Nevada Highway Patrol - EMERGENCY Cellular Number: *NHP

While your driving into Las Vegas, these, not so familiar black and gold cars are here to keep you safe, and traffic moving! A couple of really important things to remember:

• If your on the highway and in need of assistance, to report an accident,etc... use your cell phone and simply dial *NHP. That's the star or asterisk key, and then N H P. It's a free call, and will go directly to the nearest Highway Patrol substation.
• There is NO truth to the long standing rumor that you are less likely to get a speeding ticket on your way TO Las Vegas, then on the way home. Sorry - but if you're speeding, no matter which direction your going - YOU'RE GOING TO GET A TICKET.
