     1. Fraud or deception in procuring a license.

     (a) Felony; or

     (b) Crime involving physical violence, theft or fraud.

     5. Immoral, unethical or dishonorable conduct in the licensee’s relation to his or her guest, client, patron or a member of the public while providing guide services.

     6. A conviction of having violated a provision of:

     (a) Chapter 488 or title 45 of NRS, or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto, or for a conviction of having violated an equivalent provision in the law or regulations of any other state or the Federal Government; or
