Option 1
Flat Rate
One clear blended rate for card sales — strong when guest experience stays simple.
Nevada Flat Rate →CMS helps North Las Vegas businesses — Aliante and Centennial corridor retail, industrial and logistics shops, Nellis-adjacent service companies, neighborhood restaurants, clinics, auto shops, and growing residential SMBs — compare Flat Rate, Surcharge, and Cash Discount in plain language. See estimated monthly impact, then Upload · Compare · Save when you already take cards.
North Las Vegas payment mix often looks more everyday than Strip tourism. Weekday warehouse and contractor traffic, lunch counters near industrial parks, clinic appointments, and weekend neighborhood dining drive a steady blend of debit and credit. CMS does not invent one rate for every North Las Vegas ZIP — your review is built from a statement or from industry, volume, and how customers pay.
Corridor and industrial operators want a predictable monthly number and clear totals without a long fee speech. Neighborhood SMBs — salons, restaurants, medical offices, and home-service shops — want clear posted prices and honest disclosures. Both paths use the same three customer programs: Flat Rate, Surcharge, and Cash Discount.
Flat Rate gives one clear percent + per-transaction fee for card sales when you want the register experience to stay familiar. Surcharge keeps cash prices the same; eligible credit adds CMS Surcharge 3.00% (state-capped) — debit and prepaid are never surcharged. Cash Discount posts card-inclusive prices and gives cash and check about 3.5% off. The percentages differ on purpose so programs are never the same offer with a new label.
CMS confirms your Nevada operating location and how prices are shown before anything goes live. Local guidance spans Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, with statewide pages for Reno, Sparks, and Carson City.
Use this page if you run retail or dining along Aliante and Centennial, a shop serving industrial or logistics customers, a clinic, an auto or home-service business, or any North Las Vegas SMB that wants Nevada-ready Flat Rate, Surcharge, or Cash Discount without backend jargon.
Shift changes and weekend traffic can change credit versus debit mix. That is why CMS compares three programs instead of one headline rate. If Flat Rate keeps the guest path calm, your review shows it. If Surcharge (CMS Surcharge 3.00% on eligible credit, state-capped; never debit or prepaid) or Cash Discount (about 3.5% off card-inclusive posted prices) keeps more, the estimate says so in dollars — statement-built.
