From Supertopo:
Effective immediately:
Parking violations are now $100, illegal camping and campfires are now $250, leaving an un-attended legal campfire $200. Speeding violations have quadrupled. Illegal mountain biking (Wilderness Area) $300. Bolting in a Wilderness can result in a $300 per bolt fine.
Any questions feel free to call Climbing Rangers, Patrick Putnam (702) 515-5042 or Jed Botsford (702) 515-5138. The Red Rock Canyon Climbing Rangers are NOT Law Enforcement and have nothing to do with the increase in fines.

Those climbing rangers were really nice to me last trip. The guy went out of his way to call me back... twice. When my friend was late (he came from tucson) I hung out with the traffic cop rangers at the gate, stalling them into waiting a few extra minutes. Just as they left, my friend came and they let him go through the exit gate so we could park and start hiking to our bivy. I'd hate to have one of those guys catch you speeding though. The're full blood cops.

actually, i dont know how much it really goes on. i hardly ever see folks getting nabbed by the rangers, and i've had only a couple of incidents where a ticket was written, and there was really no avoiding it. most of the time the rangers are decent folks.
but lets remember, if they are having a problem with it, its all the tourist traddies learning that multipitch at Red Rocks isnt the same as single pitch at their home crags.....
at any rate, theres really no reason for it. late exit permits are free....
