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 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 who 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.
