Stakeholders in Sydney lockout talks

One of the main Sydney venues not included in the city's lockout laws has been invited to join a government roundtable looking at improving the city's nightlife.

The Star Entertainment Group, which runs Star Casino in Pyrmont, is among dozens of hospitality, live music, youth, health, police, transport, small business and planning representatives asked to take part in the discussions over the next three months.

The outcome of the three roundtables will be considered as part of Ian Callinan's review of the controversial legislation which requires central Sydney venues to turn people away from 1.30am, serve last drinks by 3am and ban the sale of takeaway alcohol after 10pm.

Opponents say the laws are killing off the city's nightlife with venues being forced to close and hundreds of jobs disappearing along with patronage.

The Star Casino was labelled the winner of the city's lockout laws in 2014 after its gaming revenue rose, although the casino maintained its patronage had remained the same.

Star Entertainment boss Matt Bekier last month told AAP it wouldn't make sense to extend Sydney's controversial lockout laws to the casino, given its standing as a major tourist attraction.

NSW Premier Mike Baird says the laws should stay, but opponents who say the measures are turning Sydney into a ghost town have dubbed him Casino Mike over claims the laws are driving nightlife to Star Casino.

The campaign to overturn the laws gained momentum last month, but a coalition of NSW doctors, nurses, paramedics and police also have banded together to support the measures.

They say booze-fuelled violence has "fallen off a cliff" since the laws came into effect.

The legislation was introduced in 2014 following a number of one-punch deaths and assaults during alcohol-fuelled nights out.

The first meeting will take place on March 31, followed by one on April 28 and then May 19.

The Callinan Review is expected to be complete in August.
