CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada lawmaker is proposing legislation to allow stand-alone bars to permit dogs to enter at the discretion of an establishment's owner.
Sen. James Settelmeyer says the bill being drafted for the 2015 Legislature was suggested by a constituent in Virginia City, about 20 miles southeast of Reno.
Some taverns in the historic mining town seem to play favorites when it comes to allowing dogs in with paying customers.

Settelmeyer says many Virginia City taverns allow people in with their dogs.
