A “theatrical and production event facility” means a permanent structure whose primary purpose is to create an environment for custom theatrical performance events available only for private functions. A separate general theatrical and production event facility license as specified in Chapter 6.12 of the Clark County Code is required and must be obtained prior to the issuance of any liquor license. Examples of theatrical and production event facility usage include, but are not limited to: theatrical and celebrity production rehearsals; political and charitable events; marketing of corporate products; showcasing of theatrical interior design aspects and capabilities, new technology, lighting and audio; and work shopping of theatrical performances.
To qualify as a theatrical and production event facility the establishment must have all of the following: a seating capacity for a minimum of five hundred fifty persons at one time when configured for auditorium style seating and a minimum capacity of four hundred persons when configured for seating at tables; a minimum of nine thousand square feet; and a minimum investment or market value appraisal of one and one-half million dollars in the real property, improvements and personal property. The appraisal report must be prepared by a state certified appraiser and must reflect a value on a date that is within sixty days of board consideration of the applicable liquor license application for the theatrical and production event facility. The business, physical premises, and the land upon which the theatrical and production event facility is located must be owned by the licensee.
A theatrical and production event facility is eligible for the following types of liquor licenses: full bar, service bar, and portable bar.
The liquor license(s) held by the theatrical and production event facility may only be used for private functions and shall not be open to the public.
The theatrical and production event facility is not eligible to receive any gaming license or provide any entertainment or activities that require licensure as an adult entertainment cabaret.
No promoters or outside event companies may produce or execute any event (entertainment or decor) at the theatrical and production event facility. The licensee of a theatrical and production event facility may not lease or otherwise allow the licensed premises to be used by another promoter or event company for any purpose whatsoever. (Ord.
