After speaking with City of Las Vegas Attorneys, City of Las Vegas Business Licensing Enforcement personnel, Clark County Attorneys, and numerous individuals at both the wholesale and retail level of wine purveyance, Eating Las Vegas has come to these ten conclusions about corkage fees for persons wishing to bring their own wine to restaurants:
1) The City of Las Vegas considers it illegal and will cite any establishment (for a violation of their liquor/wine license) that allows persons to consume a bottle of wine on a restaurant premise not purchased at that place of business. However, the enforcement of this prohibition has been spotty and selective at best.
