Helping New and Established Businesses Navigate Nevada Liquor Laws

Our Nevada liquor lawyers work with clients on liquor and alcohol licensing, including restaurants, bars, nightclubs, liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, movie theaters, public entertainment venues, corporate campuses, golf courses, gas stations, wholesale distributors, breweries, wineries, and distilleries.

We actively assist businesses with liquor licensing in Las Vegas, Reno, and throughout Nevada. The licensing process is different in each Nevada locality, and our goal is to guide you through the process. We can help you with the following:

• Licensing new locations
• Acquisitions of existing locations
• Hotel ownership and management relationships
• Ownership changes for existing licensed entities (change of stock ownership, change in members, etc.)
• Land Use Permits or modifying conditions in existing Land Use Permits
• License renewals
• Expansions of premises and remodeling
• Officer and director changes – Ownership cleanups (often in anticipation of the sale of a business)
• Key Employee licensing

We are available to handle the licensing process completely or to advise you on particular questions. We start by assisting you in determining which license types are available, potential zoning or licensing issues, and the costs of the license.

We help manage and limit the personal disclosures required as part of liquor license applications as much as possible. Contact Saltzman Mugan Dushoff, PLLC, today at 702-330-3441 to schedule a consultation with our team.

Nevada’s Most Active Liquor Law Practice

Because Las Vegas is a vacation hub where many tourists come to relax and have a good time, hospitality businesses need liquor licenses. However, applying for and obtaining a Nevada liquor license can be overly complex, and it is best handled with the help of a qualified attorney.

Liquor license lawyers are qualified to handle various legal needs for clients, including obtaining a liquor license and regulatory compliance.

If you have questions about Nevada’s liquor license filings, contact Saltzman Mugan Dushoff, PLLC at our Las Vegas, Nevada, law office and ask to schedule a consultation with a qualified liquor license attorney to answer them.

How Does a Business Obtain a Nevada Liquor License?

Any Las Vegas business that wishes to sell and serve alcoholic beverages must have a liquor license. Failure to obtain a liquor license can result in authorities shutting a business down.

After you have determined the jurisdiction where your business is located, you must complete the following basic steps to obtain a Nevada liquor license:

• Register and obtain a Nevada state business license
• Register with the Nevada Department of Taxation
• Register your business name. Businesses that use anything other than the business owner’s real name must file for a Fictitious Firm Name (DBA)
• Complete a liquor and gaming application packet

The application process involves applicants filling out several forms that can be confusing for first-time business owners. Additionally, applicants must answer truthfully about their backgrounds. Applicants should also expect to wait approximately 6 months to receive a liquor license after filing their application.

For these reasons, it is best to have a liquor license lawyer assist you with the application process to ensure there are no mistakes that could cost you precious time and money.
