The City Council Wants to Create a Brewery Row in Downtown Las Vegas

DOWNTOWN — The Las Vegas City Council wants to create a Brewery Row in the Arts District and Gateway District, where a number of breweries already set up shop. Aside from banners identifying the area, the council plans to recruit new breweries to open with a waiver of the liquor license origination charge. The city identified CraftHaus Brewery, Three Sheets Craft Beer Bar and The Mad Fermentist, Hop Nuts Brewing, Nevada Brew Works, HUDL Brewing Co., Beer District Brewing, and Able Baker Brewing as part of the program, adding Tenaya Creek Brewery and Banger Brewing, although neither is part of the proposed new incentive area. The council plans to vote on the proposed incentive package in late May. [KTNV]

NEVADA — The state senate unanimously approved a proposed piece of legislation that would make delivery services disclose fees, including food, taxes, delivery fees, and the average commission charged to the restaurant. The proposal limits commissions to 20 percent plus a credit card processing fee during the state’s COVID-19 state of emergency, and forces delivery apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GrubHub to forego marketing charges unless a restaurant agrees to pay an additional fee. Other bills weaving their way through the senate include an effort to prohibit employers from asking job candidates about salary history and current wages so employers compensate based on a worker’s experience and qualifications.
