Music licensing for bars in Las Vegas, NV.

Vegas is the highest-revenue-per-venue bar market in the country. Casinos, clubs, lounges, dayclubs, and Strip restaurants all run music continuously — and PRO licensing is a hard requirement, not a footnote.

What would a Las Vegas bar pay?

Enter your venue capacity. We'll estimate the monthly cost across all four PROs.

What Las Vegas bar owners are facing

Four Performing Rights Organizations. Four bills. Four portals. Four chances to get sued. The math doesn't care which city you're in.

Real talk:

A 200-cap restaurant in the Southwest received a five-figure BMI demand letter in 2023 for ambient music played through their PA system.

Statutory damages: up to $150,000 per song. Performing Rights Organization win rate in court: virtually 100%.

ASCAP

Quotes in January, pays by March

BMI

Plus your Nevada on-premises liquor license is regulated by the Nevada Department of Taxation — Liquor Program — and PRO field reps cross-reference those records.

What Nevada operators say

I was paying four different organizations on four different schedules and still got a cease-and-desist because I missed a renewal. Nibbles and Bits took over everything in one afternoon. Haven’t thought about it since.

Bar owner, Nevada

150-cap restaurant & bar

My GM didn’t even know SESAC existed. We’d been paying ASCAP and BMI for years and figured we were covered. We weren’t.

Operator, Nevada

Two-location restaurant group

The annual lump sums were killing my January cash flow. One monthly payment is what I’d been begging the PROs for since I opened.
