Here in Vegas the only time you cant make a u-turn is if there is a sign saying its prohibited.
Otherwise, if you dont see a sign saying not to, you can assume you can do it.

Let me tell you, as a product of less progressive states such as Florida and Ohio, this whole U-turn thing was quite a shock to me. We're all used to signs and pavement markings that use arrows to indicate things like "straight only" and "left turn only". Well, in Las Vegas there is actually a U-turn indication sign. It looks like an arrow with extreme spinal curvature. So, the left lane on any given Vegas street often has a sign or a pavement marking with three arrows: straight, left and U-turn.
It's a good thing that U-turns are legal in Vegas. Every street in the entire city of Las Vegas is eight lanes wide and divided down the middle. If you couldn't make U-turns you would be forced to continue driving straight until you disappeared into the desert never to be heard from, again. I am sure Vegas is not the only place in the world with these U-turn signs but they are EVERYWHERE in Las Vegas.
On a side note, driving in Las Vegas sucks. Is this related to the U-turns? I don't know but I propose to study that in Phase II of my move to Las Vegas.
Dirty_DS, I'm sorry I didn't contact you. It was nice of you to offer to hang out with me and my girlfriend but we ended up being so busy we barely had time to eat.
