(G) Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection (G), the hours of operation for the establishment shall be those determined by the Director in connection with temporary or permanent license approval, as the case may be. If there is a conflict between the hours of operation for a general entertainment establishment approved by the Director and the hours of operation approved by the City Council in connection with: 1) an alcoholic beverage license associated the establishment, or 2) an approved land use entitlement permitting the operation of a general entertainment establishment, the condition regarding hours of operation approved by the City Council shall control.

Upon receipt of a new or revised security plan, the Director shall approve, deny or take other appropriate action regarding the plan, including the establishment of a deadline within which to update or implement a security plan or a date by which operations must cease in connection with the denial of a security plan. It is unlawful for a licensee to:

(2) Continue to operate the licensed establishment beyond a deadline established for updating or implementing a security plan without having accomplished the update or implementation; or
(3) Continue to operate the licensed establishment beyond a date established for ceasing operations in connection with the denial of a security plan.

(J) Unless otherwise permitted by land use entitlement approved for such establishment, any and all activities associated with a licensed establishment shall be conducted entirely within the interior of such establishment, except for the following:
(1) The checking of patrons' identification;
(2) Valet parking activities;
(3) The sale of admission tickets for current or future events;
(4) Eating, drinking, or dancing when specifically allowed outside by means of a special event permit issued under LVMC Chapter 12.02; or

(K) If patrons are waiting outside the licensed establishment for entry into such establishment, the licensee shall organize and maintain its patrons in line in accordance with this Subsection (K). Each outdoor patron line must be on private property or on a public sidewalk not located in a residential neighborhood. If on a public sidewalk, an outdoor patron line shall:
(1) Be parallel to and against the structure of the licensed establishment;
(2) Be maintained so that not more than two persons are abreast (next to one another);
(3) Not restrict reasonable pedestrian movement on the sidewalk; and
(4) Not obstruct the entrance to any other establishment that is open for business.
(L) No interior noise from the establishment shall be audible beyond the property line when exterior doors are closed. If a more restrictive requirement exists elsewhere in this Code, the more restrictive requirement applies.
