Can I charge different prices to different customers without violating discrimination laws in Nevada? What are the requirements?

According to Nevada law, it is illegal to charge different prices to customers based on their race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, or gender identity or expression [1.1]. However, there may be exceptions to this rule. For example, in the context of purchasing energy, capacity, or ancillary services from an alternative provider, an eligible customer may purchase from an alternative provider without obtaining the approval of the Commission if the terms and conditions of the transaction with the alternative provider, other than the price of the energy, capacity, or ancillary services, conform to the terms and conditions of the transaction that was originally approved by the Commission with respect to the eligible customer [2.2].

In the context of hotels, motels, inns, or motor courts, the rates listed on the printed statement required to be maintained by an owner or keeper of an establishment pursuant to NRS 651.030 must include the daily rate of the room for occupancy by one person and for occupancy by two persons, the additional charge, if any, for occupancy by each additional person over two persons, the additional charge, if any, for each additional bed provided in the room, and the additional charge, if any, to offset energy costs incurred by the establishment. An establishment shall not charge more than the rates listed on the printed statement required to be maintained by an owner or keeper of an establishment pursuant to NRS 651.030 [1.2].

It is important to note that differential pricing, discounted pricing, or special offers based on gender do not constitute unlawful discriminatory practice in public accommodations [4.1].

In summary, charging different prices to customers based on their race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, sex, or gender identity or expression is illegal in Nevada. However, there may be exceptions to this rule in certain contexts. In general, establishments must maintain printed statements of charges or rates and cannot charge more than the rates listed on the statement. Differential pricing, discounted pricing, or special offers based on gender do not constitute unlawful discriminatory practice in public accommodations [1.1][2.2][4.1][1.2].
