(a) “Main bar” means a bar where alcoholic liquors are dispensed by the drink by retail sales to customers at such bar. Minors are not permitted entry into the main bar area which is defined as the area in immediate proximity to the bar. A main bar license may be issued to the following types of business: in conjunction with a resort hotel unless otherwise excluded in this section; a leased business at a resort hotel unless otherwise excluded in this section; a live entertainment venue; a nonconforming Class C gaming establishment as defined in Section 8.04.310; a one hundred fifty room hotel with a restaurant; a time share facility; a two hundred fifty room hotel located in an H-1 district; a nightclub, and a resort condominium.
(b) Those locations licensed prior to July 31, 1998, for a main bar in conjunction with a qualifying business not specifically listed above shall be deemed nonconforming, and shall be eligible for license renewal or new licensure provided the license is in good standing and the location does not remain without main bar licensure for a period in excess of eighteen consecutive months. In this event, the location shall no longer be considered as nonconforming and must comply with all current requirements for further main bar licensure.
(c) The following businesses, as defined or licensed under Titles 6 and 8 of the Clark County Code, operating at resort hotels, resort condominiums, and time share facilities are found and declared to be unsuitable for a main bar liquor license: category 2 restaurant; movie theaters; arcades; and retail operations whose primary business is the sale of goods and/or services other than food and/or alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption.
(d) For purposes of this section, resort hotels, resort condominiums, and time share facilities may include retail shopping areas operated under a long term master lease, or having a reciprocal easement agreement with, with the resort hotels, resort condominiums, and time share facilities that are attached to and made a part of the resort hotels, resort condominiums, and time share facilities so as to appear to be one and the same.
(e) If a restaurant is operated in conjunction with a main bar and minors are admitted to the restaurant area, alcoholic liquors may be served to all patrons aged twenty-one and older throughout the premises, except that any person twenty-one and older accompanying a minor in the restaurant portion of the business may only be served alcohol in conjunction with meals at dining tables or booths.
