County Eyes Bar Moratorium Amid Liquor Licensing Debate
Clark County Liquor and Gaming Board weighs a one to five year ban on new licenses sparked by the Las Vegas Restaurant and Tavern Owners Association. Assemblyman Lloyd Mann supports the idea, saying the community should avoid clustering multiple bars in a single shopping center. The measure aims to curb neighborhood bars and ensure business viability, with officials urging a drafted ordinance to be returned next month. Mann and his wife were approved as 82 percent owners of Sporting House on Decatur Boulevard.
