The owners of the now-defunct Privé and Living Room nightclubs requested a hold this morning on the county's hearing of the appeal of their liquor license rejections.
Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa said the owners and their legal counsel have asked for the hearing to be postponed because of new developments, which include continuing reorganization. The agenda items have been moved to the county commission meeting on Aug. 18. Privé and Living Room will remain closed.
The owners of Privé and Living Room appealed the denial of their liquor license application and requested temporary licenses to operate until the appeal can be heard but the county Business License Department rejected the request last Tuesday.
Privé’s existing temporary license expired at midnight last Tuesday and the temporary license for the adjoining nightclub, Living Room, expired at midnight Thursday, forcing the clubs to close.
Business License Director Jacqueline Holloway on Thursday denied the clubs’ applications for liquor licenses for failure to abide by the duties of a liquor licensee.
The request for temporary licenses, which included proposed corrective actions, was deemed insufficient given the extent of the problems uncovered by county Business License and state Gaming Control Board agents, Holloway said.
