NRS 463.15995 Regulations governing charging of fee for admission to area in which gaming is conducted.

1. The Commission shall, with the advice and assistance of the Board, adopt regulations authorizing a gaming licensee to charge a fee for admission to an area in which gaming is conducted in accordance with the provisions of this section.

2. The regulations adopted by the Commission pursuant to this section must include, without limitation, provisions that:

(a) A gaming licensee may not charge a fee pursuant to this section unless:

(1) The Chair of the Board grants administrative approval of a request by a gaming licensee to charge such a fee; and

(2) Such administrative approval is not revoked or suspended by the Chair of the Board.

(b) The Chair of the Board may, in the Chair’s sole and absolute discretion, grant, deny, limit, condition, restrict, revoke or suspend any administrative approval of a request by a gaming licensee to charge a fee pursuant to this section. In considering such a request, the Chair of the Board shall consider all relevant factors, including, without limitation:

(1) The size of the area;

(2) The amount of gaming that occurs within the area;

(3) The types and quantity of gaming offered;

(4) The business purpose of the area;

(5) Other amenities that are offered within the area;

(6) The amount of the costs and expenses incurred in creating the area;

(7) The benefit to the State in having gaming conducted within the area;

(8) The amount of the fee charged and whether the fee charged is unreasonable as compared to the prevailing practice within the industry; and

(9) Whether the area should more appropriately be treated as a gaming salon.

Ê The decision of the Chair of the Board regarding such a request may be appealed by the gaming licensee to the Commission pursuant to its regulations.

(c) A gaming licensee who charges a fee pursuant to this section:

(1) Shall deposit with the Board and thereafter maintain a refundable revolving fund in an amount determined by the Commission to pay the expenses of admission of agents of the Board or Commission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged.

(2) Shall arrange for access by agents of the Board or Commission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged.

(3) Shall, at all times that a fee is charged for admission to an area pursuant to this section in an establishment for which a nonrestricted license has been issued, provide for the public at least the same number of gaming devices and games in a different area for which no fee is charged for admission.

(4) Shall, at all times that a fee is charged for admission to an area pursuant to this section in an establishment for which a restricted license has been issued, post a sign of a suitable size in a conspicuous place near the entrance of the establishment that provides notice to patrons that they do not need to pay an admission fee or cover charge to engage in gaming.

(5) Shall not use a fee charged for admission to create a private gaming area that is not operated in association or conjunction with a nongaming activity, attraction or facility.

(6) Shall not restrict admission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged to a patron on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin or disability of the patron, and any unresolved dispute with a patron concerning restriction of admission shall be deemed a dispute as to the manner in which a game is conducted pursuant to NRS 463.362 and must be resolved pursuant to NRS 463.362 to 463.366, inclusive.

(d) If a gaming licensee who holds a nonrestricted license charges a fee pursuant to this section, unless the area for which a fee for admission is charged is otherwise subject to the excise tax on admission to any facility in this State where live entertainment is provided pursuant to chapter 368A of NRS, the determination of the amount of the liability of the gaming licensee for that tax:

(1) Includes the fees charged for admission pursuant to this section; and

(2) Does not include charges for food, refreshments and merchandise collected in the area for which admission is charged.

Good find Kori.

I assume they close the gaming tables during Rehab then. They've been charging admission to non-hotel guests for years so they've probably come across people trying to use this strategy to get into Rehab for free.

All the times I've been to Rehab I can't remember if the gaming area was open. Anyone remember?

[toolegit2quit]

There must be an exception. Playboy club has tables and charges a pretty steep cover/long line

[WarreN]

I believe the exception is that you're paying for the atmosphere, pool, DJ, etc. NOT the gambling.


btw, nice work Aria.

$50 a person really isn't THAT bad. I know we all expected it to be free, but I don't think anybody considered the TV Show. Do you realize how many more people show up to REHAB because of that show, whether it be to join in on the fun they saw or to try and get on a reality TV show.

Thought it sucks, I understand that the TV show is what's to blame for this change in policy.

[vansteffo]

oh god... Chad is still working there? Thats the same guy that told me to go to Hard Rock last MDW and admission would be comped. After an hour of line, got to the door, I was still asked to pay $60 for myself and $30 for my gf. They even made the lady pay.. sick basturd.

Probably why he's still there..making money for the man!!!

Yeah, Rehab definitely has active tables despite the cover, so there has to be some exception

[ashroid]

So - what about XS then? They have gaming tables and look at the ridiculous lineups?

[sporT]

I called one time and they told me I was going to have to pay. But I called back later got someone else and they compped us and added it to our reservation for 2 free passes to Rehab. It's all the luck of the draw. I'd keep calling if I were you guys.

[Andrew@LasVegasNightclubs]

Yo Yo,

Just to weigh in here....as I understand the gaming laws (per Hard Rock security, actually), any pool or club with gaming inside that charges a cover has to let someone in immediately without paying a cover if they say they are gambling. The catch is, they have the right to pretty much escort you to the gaming area and then give you the boot if they see that you've stopped playing.

Same goes for Playboy, XS, Ditch Fridays, etc.

Whether they actually follow the law at the door is another matter entirely, haha.
