Vegas’ Can’t-Miss Strains Right Now

RS11 (aka “RS-11”) — The crowd-pleaser with candy-gas balance.

Fruity gelato terps up front, then a relaxing, floaty body feel that doesn’t glue you to the couch. RS11 keeps showing up on “it” lists nationally and remains a staple in Vegas cases. Look for The Grower Circle’s RS-11 at Jardín; Zen Leaf also lists RS-11 pre-rolls with robust THC numbers.

Jealousy — Diesel-sherb swagger for day-into-night.

Thick trichome coverage, layered dessert-gas aroma, and that unmistakable Jealousy mood lift. Planet 13 routinely stocks Jealousy SKUs—from pre-rolls to flower—so it’s an easy pickup before a night out.

Permanent Marker — Modern “marker-funk” with staying power.

This hash-friendly hybrid delivers a loud, inky nose over sweet citrus, with a calming, centering high. It’s one of the most talked-about contemporary strains and shows up in Vegas across several shelves: AMA’s Permanent Marker at Jardín; Zen Leaf lists 14g “smalls”; The Source+ has AMA Permanent Marker in rotation.

Gary Payton — The Cookies classic that still hits hard.

Expect smooth gas and a heavy, euphoric bloom—great for visitors seeking “one jar that does it all.” Find Cookies’ Gary Payton straight from source at Cookies Flamingo; Jardín also shows Nature’s Chemistry’s Gary Payton on its menu, and you’ll spot GP crosses like GP x Biscotti concentrates at The Grove.

Wedding Cake — Sweet, creamy comfort with evening unwind.

A perennial hit for flavor-first shoppers who want soothing body effects without full sedation. CAMP’s solventless-minded program keeps “Cake” in circulation; check The Source+ for CAMP Wedding Cake and neighboring shops like The Dispensary for 3.5g drops.

Apples & Bananas — Crisp fruit, clean cruise.

Bright, fruity inhale, steady, social high—ideal for a daytime Strip walk or artsy downtown crawl. You’ll spot Apples & Bananas at Cookies Flamingo, Zen Leaf locations, and even delivery menus like NuLeaf’s—proof of its wide Vegas footprint.

Khalifa Kush — The hometown hero.

Spicy OG lineage with focused euphoria and that classic Vegas tie-in—KK is almost a rite of passage for first-timers. Beyond Hello’s Vegas menu frequently features KK eighths alongside other local favorites.

Why these keep selling

Beyond hype, these cultivars show up again and again in Nevada sales charts and menu rotations. Headset’s Nevada dashboards continue to highlight classic-meets-modern hybrids (think Cap Junky, Sherb/GSC families) among top-selling flower, mirroring what locals see in live menus citywide. Leafly’s 2025 seasonal picks also keep RS-11 and Permanent Marker firmly in the national conversation—momentum that aligns with Vegas shelves.

Shopper tips

  • Check live menus before you roll: Vegas SKUs move fast—verify availability and batch details on each store’s site.
  • Chase the producer you love, not just the name: Strain experiences swing by cultivator and batch; brands like The Grower Circle, CAMP, AMA, Nature’s Chemistry, and Cookies maintain consistent followings in LV.
  • Consider format: If flower’s sold out, you’ll often find the same genetics in pre-rolls or concentrates (like GP x Biscotti at The Grove).
