Most information on this page is dated from 2001, when I first applied for my license.  Some fees may have increased and it's a good idea to check before assuming my fee schedules are correct.

Massage licenses in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, are considered “Privilege Licenses”.  The applications are pretty straightforward.  However, you need to have a license for every part of the valley in which you want to work.  The City of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Clark County, and the City of Henderson all require a separate license each of which is renewable every six months.  If you are licensed in Las Vegas, Clark County and Henderson, licensing runs about $400 a year.  There is currently a bill in the state Senate to regulate massages on a state level, as well.  Which would bring the licensing costs up considerably (they can't decide if it's going to cost $25 or $150 for a state license).

The licensing procedure takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months, depending on where you went to school and if the investigating unit recognizes your massage school, how busy they are, and whether or not you are willing to grovel to get your investigation completed sooner.  It's a good idea to have a county license if you are ever going to do outcall in Las Vegas because most of the large casinos are located in the County.

City of Las Vegas (about a 10 page application).  Semi-annual license fee $100.00 ($200/year)  If you contact the City, they will give you a check-list of all information they need for you to complete your licensing process.

Clark County (About a 15 page application) Semi-annual license fee is based on your income.  The license fee can be as low as $25.00 ($50.00/year) If you contact the County, they will give you a check-list of all information they need for you to complete your licensing process.

Henderson.  (About a 15 page application) Semi-annual license fee:  $78.00 ($156.00/year)

North Las Vegas.  I have no idea about the costs involved or what kind of applications you have to fill out for them.  I was not interested in getting a license there.  However, I do know that all the other stuff that applies to the City and County, applies to NLV.
