Licensing & Zoning

Grandfathered, Zoned, and Ready to Game!

The property is grandfathered in for tavern use, benefiting from established C-1 zoning and a prior Special Use Permit, which allows continued operation as a tavern with gaming under current land-use entitlements. This grandfathered status is a major advantage, as the area is subject to spacing restrictions and limitations on new tavern or gaming licenses in that size. Also, there are no other taverns within a mile radius that will offer competition. While the City may approve a liquor license transfer with proper vetting, restricted gaming licenses are non-transferable and must be newly applied for. However, the site’s history of active gaming supports location eligibility, reducing regulatory hurdles for a qualified operator.

808 W. Lake Mead Blvd is a fully operational tavern, currently licensed with an active liquor and entertainment license. While the business remains in operation, prospective buyers should be aware that liquor and gaming licenses in Las Vegas do not automatically transfer with property ownership. Any new owner intending to operate the business must apply for their own tavern liquor license and, if applicable, a restricted gaming license, both of which are subject to regulatory approval through the City of Las Vegas and the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Disclaimer: All prospective buyers are responsible for independently verifying licensing eligibility, grandfathered use status, and compliance requirements with the City of Las Vegas and the Nevada Gaming Control Board. No guarantees are made regarding the issuance or transfer of licenses. For official guidance, visit www.lasvegasnevada.gov and www.gaming.nv.gov
