Las Vegas will be maintaining the most contested portion of its ordinance governing cannabis consumption lounges — a requirement that lounges are at least 1,000 feet apart, although city leaders will be allowed to waive it with a city council vote.

Las Vegas city officials made two changes before approving the consumption lounge ordinance during a meeting on Wednesday, with the city potentially issuing business licenses as soon as June.

Last month, industry professionals argued that the distance requirements could prevent the downtown Arts District from developing a cluster of cannabis businesses that would form a destination similar to Amsterdam — the European city made famous for its wide-open attitude toward cannabis.
