It's entirely up to cities and states to set their alcohol laws, and that's kind of the beauty of America. In Las Vegas, open containers and such are totally legal--you can walk around the strip from casino to casino sipping drinks.

People have the freedom to decide through America's democratic structure what laws are in an area.
