    Question Is Playing in Water Fountain Trespassing

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon, Oklahoma, and/or Nevada. (Although information on any state would be helpful)

    I see college kids climbing in water fountains at universities or even once in Las Vegas saw a man jump in one at Caesar's Palace. Is it illegal to do so? And if so, would it be considered trespassing or something else?

    I don't believe their intent is to steal coins or vandalize the fountain. (Not sure if intent would even play a factor)

    Thank you for your help on this question.

    Entering into the fountain could be charged as trespassing or disorderly conduct.

    Concur with antrc170.

    While they're likely used to seeing drunken shenanigans at Caesar's Palace, I know it's not looked kindly upon - the fella from my social group who "fell" into one was charged with disorderly conduct, which rather put a damper on vacation.
