§ 598.475. Tour broker and tour operator required to disclose total price in advertisement and prohibited from charging higher amount; notice required on billing invoice; tour broker and tour operator required to honor valid coupon; violation constitutes deceptive trade practice

1. In each advertisement for a sightseeing tour, a tour broker and a tour operator

shall disclose in a clear and conspicuous manner the total price a customer is required

to pay to take the sightseeing tour. Unless the inclusion of a fee or tax in the total price would violate a specific

statute of this state or a federal statute or regulation, the total price must include,

without limitation, all fees, taxes and other charges that a customer for a sightseeing

tour is required to pay to take the sightseeing tour. If a fee or tax cannot be included in the total price because its inclusion would

violate a specific statute of this state or a federal statute or regulation, the tour

broker or tour operator, as applicable, shall disclose in a clear and conspicuous

manner that the fee or tax is not included in the total price and must be paid in

addition to the total price. 2. A tour broker and a tour operator shall not charge a customer for a sightseeing

tour an amount that exceeds the sum of: (a) The total price for the sightseeing tour which is disclosed in an advertisement

for the sightseeing tour; and (b) Any fee or tax that is not included in the total price for the sightseeing tour

because its inclusion would violate a specific statute of this state or a federal

statute or regulation. 3. On a billing invoice or receipt given to a customer for a sightseeing tour, a tour

broker and a tour operator shall provide a clear and conspicuous notice which: (a) Sets forth the provisions of subsection 2; (b) States that complaints concerning the charges for a sightseeing tour may be directed

to the Unit; and (c) Provides a telephone number for the Unit. 4. If a tour operator issues or causes to be issued a coupon or other indicia of discount

or special promotion, the tour operator shall honor the coupon or other indicia in

good faith unless: (a) The coupon or other indicia sets forth a date of expiration that is clearly legible;

and (b) The date of expiration has passed. 5. The failure of a tour broker or tour operator to comply with a provision of this

section constitutes a deceptive trade practice for the purposes of NRS 598.0903 to 598.0999 , inclusive.
