A Las Vegas Latin nightclub is expected to be fined $7,500 for failing to properly pay a live entertainment tax by the Nevada Gaming Commission when it meets Thursday.

A settlement stipulation signed by the owners of the La Jolla Nightclub on East Flamingo Road indicates the parent company, River Plate Inc., won’t contest a complaint issued Oct. 26 by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

According to the complaint, La Jolla, billed as the No. 1 Latin nightclub in Las Vegas, didn’t properly account admissions and cover charges to the club from May 11, 2020 to Sept. 30, 2021.

La Jolla is a restricted gaming licensee, meaning it has 15 or fewer slot machines onsite.
