Nevada Short-Term Rental Law Criticized
Four years after implementing short-term rental regulations, Clark County faces criticism for its strict policies. Short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo are popular among large families and groups visiting Las Vegas.
However, obtaining permits for short-term rentals in Southern Nevada is challenging. As of October, only 208 licensed short-term rental listings exist in Clark County, despite 14,000 illegal listings operating under the radar, according to Inside Airbnb.
Critics say the law is an Airbnb "ban in disguise" in Vegas.
The county's sparse issuance of permits began after Nevada lawmakers passed AB363 in 2021, lifting the prior ban on short-term rentals.
