Title 8 LIQUOR AND GAMING LICENSES AND REGULATIONS*
Chapter 8.50 ENTERTAINMENT BY REFERRAL BUSINESS
8.50.010 Findings.
The Clark County liquor and gaming licensing board confirms the truth of
the facts found by the board of county commissioners set forth in Section
6.140.010 of the Clark County Code, and adopts the evidence presented at the
November 17, 1987 meeting of the board of county commissioners public hearing of
Ordinance 1056 and additionally finds that the Supreme Court of the state of
Nevada has held Chapter 6.140 to be constitutional; that it provides the county
a weapon against prostitution; and that the chapter was reasonably and
rationally related to a legitimate government interest. (Starlets
International v. Christensen, 801 P.2d 1343, 1990). Further, the 1991 Nevada
Legislature found that the outcall entertainment business (entertainment by
referral service) was of a character which tended to be injurious and with
deleterious tendency, that it promoted prostitution, and so amended NRS 244.335
and NRS 244.345, transferring licensing and regulatory authority over such
business from the board of county commissioners to the licensing board.
It
is the finding of the Clark County licensing board that in addition to the
finding set out above, that societal order and morality requires a regulation of
entertainment referral services which conduct business in places of public
accommodation in order to prevent prostitution. (Reg. G-109-91 § 1 (part),
1991)
