Nevada Short-Term Rental Law Criticized
Clark County's implementation of short-term rental regulations has faced criticism four years after its introduction, with only 208 licenses issued.
Short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo are a popular option for large families or groups visiting Las Vegas, but permits are scarce.
- Only 208 licensed short-term rental listings exist in Clark County as of October.
- 14,000 illegal listings are estimated to be operating, according to Inside Airbnb.
Critics say the law is an Airbnb "ban in disguise" in Vegas.
The county's sparse issuance of permits follows the passage of AB363 by Nevada lawmakers in 2021, which lifted the prior ban on short-term rentals.
