§ 8.04.010.155. Rural resort.

"Rural resort" means a building or complex of buildings or other structures located in an unincorporated town having a population of not less than three hundred nor more than two thousand five hundred people and which has fewer than three unrestricted gaming licenses. The operator of a rural resort provides a minimum of:

(1)

At least two hundred rooms available for sleeping accommodations;

(2)

One restaurant open for service to the public twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week, which is used, kept, maintained, advertised or held out to the public to be a place where complete meals are served and which has a seating capacity for sixty patrons at one time;

(3)

At least one main bar with permanent seating capacity for more than thirty patrons that serves alcoholic beverages sold by the drink for consumption on the premises;

(4)

Slot machines and live games.

The operator of a rural resort may be granted a license for one hundred slot machines and two live games. For each additional block of twenty-five motel or hotel rooms above the minimum set forth above, the license may be increased to include an additional live game and twenty-five slot machines.

The population of the unincorporated town is determined by the number certified by the Governor of the state of Nevada on or before January 1st of each year for the apportionment of taxes as provided in NRS 360.285. If the population changes such that a rural resort may no longer be licensed in a particular unincorporated town, any existing licenses may be renewed or enlarged as provided herein and elsewhere in this chapter.

The board retains jurisdiction to determine whether the physical layout of buildings and facilities, the unity of ownership of buildings and the operational relationship between gaming to hotel management meet the rural resort definition.
