§ 6.65.090. Issuance of permit.  


Latest version.
  • Every rock music concert promoter shall acquire a concert permit for each concert staged in the unincorporated areas of Clark County. The director of business license shall issue the permit upon compliance with the following conditions:

    (a)

    The filing of an application for said permit stating:

    (1)

    The name and address of the performing group,

    (2)

    The name and address of the tour agent or producer and a copy of the contract between the promoter and tour agent or producer,

    (3)

    The approximate number of persons expected to attend the concert and age range of the majority of attendees;

    (b)

    Compliance with all the terms of Section 6.65.120, or a notice of responsibility if the facility in which the concert is to be performed is owned and controlled by a resort hotel as defined in Section 8.04.010, the University of Nevada, or the Las Vegas convention and visitors authority. Said notice of responsibility must be signed by the hotel manager, university president or convention authority director guaranteeing ticket receipts, security provisions as required by the Las Vegas metropolitan police department and other safeguards required in Section 6.65.120 deemed applicable to the specific concert by the director of business license;

    (c)

    The approval of the Las Vegas Metropolitan police department regarding traffic control;

    (d)

    All concerts are presumed to be rock music concerts unless listed in Billboard Magazine in one of the excluded classifications. If the performers are listed in an excluded classification, they are still deemed to be rock music concerts if they have crossed over from, or to, a classification not listed as excluded and have been listed on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100 within the last five years. The burden is on the promoter to establish from Billboard Magazine, or other competent source, that the music to be performed is not a rock musical concert, and that recent performances by the performers at concerts in other cities have not endangered the health, welfare, peace or morals of the community, or required extraordinary police precautions.
