Rapper Kid Ink was arrested early Saturday in Las Vegas for disturbing the peace ... which raises the question, is there really peace in Vegas?
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops raced to 1Oak nightclub in the Mirage just before 3 AM after a 911 call about a fight in the club.
Several eyewitnesses tell us ... Kid Ink's female friend started the scuffle.
We're told the woman was acting belligerent as the 2 left the club ... and when security confronted them the "Show Me" rapper and his crew started getting physical.
Police hauled the rapper and his female friend off to jail. The woman was booked for giving a false statement to officers -- we don't know what she told them -- and Ink was booked for disturbing the peace.
He'll be released Saturday afternoon without posting bail. He's ordered to appear in court Monday.
UPDATE: A rep for Kid Ink claims the rapper and some of friends were taking photos on the closed red carpet ... but when there was an issue between a third party and security -- police stepped in.

So much for a cooler, calmer Kanye ...
West just emerged from a restaurant in L.A. and exploded on a photog -- not a TMZ guy -- screaming at the cameraman to stop taking photos, ASAP.
Minutes before the incident, Kanye had banged his head into a metal sign while trying to hide his face from a pack of paparazzi ... and blamed it on the snappers.
West restrained himself from going after the paps in the moments after the head-slamming, only to emerge from the eatery minutes later ... even angrier than he was before.
The pap told West he had just arrived on the scene -- and meant no harm.
West eventually turned around and went back into the restaurant. It's unclear if Kanye ever laid a hand on the photog.
Inhale, exhale ...
