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.

Enter your venue capacity. We'll estimate the monthly cost across all six PROs.
What Las Vegas bar owners are facing
Six Performing Rights Organizations. Six bills. Six portals. Six chances to get sued. The math doesn't care which city you're in.
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%.

What Nevada operators say
I was paying six different organizations on six different schedules and still got a cease-and-desist because I missed a renewal. Harmonis took over everything in one afternoon. Haven’t thought about it since.

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 regular payment is what I’d been begging the PROs for since I opened.
