§ 8.08.160. Judicial review.

Exclusive power to regulate the businesses of gaming, dancehalls, escort services and liquor sales are vested by the Nevada Legislature in the liquor and gaming licensing board pursuant to NRS 244.335, 244.345, and 244.350. Such businesses operate pursuant to a license which is a revocable privilege as the licensees acquire no vested rights by reason of licensure. The licenses and the decision of the hearing officer are subject to judicial review to protect against arbitrary action. In all disciplinary matters conducted before the hearing officer it is presumed that the hearing officer acted lawfully and there shall be no stay of its decision pending judicial review.

Any person aggrieved by final decision or order of the hearing officer made after hearing may obtain a judicial review of questions of law thereof in the Eighth Judicial District Court.

The judicial review shall be instituted by filing a petition within twenty days after the effective date of the final decision or order. The petition for review shall set forth the order or decision appealed from, and shall set forth the specific rulings on questions of law which the petition contends constitutes error.
