RESET HOSPITALITY
Our Story
After Nevada legalized the sale of recreational cannabis in 2016, a new challenge presented itself to local communities and the 40 million tourists arriving in Las Vegas each year. We could finally buy cannabis, but there was no place to enjoy your cannabis purchase.
In 2017, the Reset Hospitality team partnered with cannabis retailers, community stakeholders, and local and state governments to develop the Gold Standard of cannabis hospitality and opened the first state-regulated lounge in Las Vegas.
Today, the team continues to work with license holders and prospective entrepreneurs to further develop this burgeoning sector of the cannabis industry.
