Clark County leaders are reviewing the existence and reasoning for a 42-year-old rule that generally prevents gaming and slot machines in strip clubs.

After one establishment requested an exemption, Clark County leaders requested an overall review of the law to examine intent and the impacts of any changes, though current leaders express concerns over red tape caused by overlapping liquor and adult entertainment licenses.

In 1980, Clark County leaders passed CCC 8.04.070, which states, “any place located within a 250-foot radius of an adult-oriented business is presumed to be unsuitable for the conduct of gaming unless the Board determines, after a public hearing, that the public health, safety, and welfare will not be impaired by granting the application.” Some adult establishments within Clark County have been able to get exemptions over the years.
