cannabis’ federal classification<\/a>, Nevada casinos must avoid any direct or indirect involvement with the cannabis industry. The Nevada Gaming Commission has repeatedly warned its licensees that marijuana must not be allowed anywhere on their premises.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOf course, anyone who lives in Las Vegas or has recently visited the Strip is well aware that weed is widespread and its smell often permeates public spaces. But under Nevada’s medicinal and recreational cannabis laws, users are to only consume the product inside a private residence. It’s illegal to consume cannabis inside Nevada hotel guestrooms, regardless of whether the occupancy is at a casino resort.<\/p>\n
Things are much different in Arizona, which also has medical and recreational marijuana. Rizk’s cannabis-friendly hotel in Phoenix — The Clarendon Hotel and Spa — offers both cannabis and non-cannabis guestrooms.<\/p>\n

The CCB is currently drafting the regulations that will govern such marijuana businesses. The board is additionally finalizing how applications will be reviewed and approved.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe CCB expects to issue its first cannabis consumption lounge licenses before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
