Las Vegas, Nev., Mun. Code § 6.75 (2026) § 6.75.020

(A) No person shall engage in the business of offering or operating a short-term residential rental without first obtaining and thereafter maintaining a valid unexpired license pursuant to this Chapter for each short-term residential rental unit. Where there are multiple dwelling units on the same property, each unit must be licensed individually.
(B) If a short-term residential unit is managed by a person other than the licensee or a principal of the licensee for that unit, that person must possess a valid license from the State of Nevada and the City to manage property.
(C) Except as otherwise permitted by City ordinance and State law for existing licensees, no person is eligible for a license for a short-term residential rental under this Chapter unless the person qualifies as an owner of the parcel on which the short-term residential unit is located and is a resident occupying that unit as his or her primary residence. In addition, the unit must qualify as owner-occupied during each period the unit is rented. For purposes of this Subsection (C), including the determination of who qualifies as an owner, whether a particular unit is being occupied by an owner, and whether a particular is being used as a short-term residential rental under this Chapter:
(1) "Owner" includes any person who is listed as an owner of record of the unit in the records of the Clark County Assessor or, in the case of a unit that is owned by a trust or other corporate or legal entity, a trustee or principal of that trust or entity.
(2) A dwelling unit qualifies as "owner-occupied during each period the unit is rented" only if the owner continues to reside at the unit throughout the rental period, the dwelling unit is the owner's primary residence, and the owner's occupancy includes occupancy and use of the bedroom, as identified in the floor plan submitted and approved by the Director. Any deviation from such previously approved floor plan must be approved by the Director. In determining occupancy by the owner during any rental period, the owner's absence, if any, from the unit during the rental period must be attributable only to employment or to the running of typical personal or household errands.
(3) A person who purports to hold a fractional ownership interest (or any other shared, joint, common, partial, cooperative or community ownership interest) in property that he or she occupies shall be deemed to be a guest and not an owner of that property unless the person's ownership interest in the property at the time of occupancy:
(a) Is at least twenty-five percent; and
(b) Has been established in that person's name by means of a document duly recorded in the property records of Clark County.
(4) A person who purports to hold an ownership interest of any kind in property that he or she occupies shall be deemed to be a guest and not an owner of that property if it appears that the documents or other indices of ownership demonstrate an intent to circumvent or otherwise avoid the application of LVMC Chapter 6.75 or applicable Conditional Use Regulations under LVMC 19.12.070, or any requirement or limitation thereof.
(D) No person is eligible for a license under this Section if:
(1) The person has five or more licenses under this Section that are associated with the same Nevada business license issued pursuant to NRS Chapter 76;
(2) The number of licenses under this Section within the same residential unit would exceed one;
(3) Issuance of the license would result in more than ten percent of the residential units or rooms within the residential units in a multifamily dwelling being rented for the purposes of transient lodging;
(4) Issuance of the license would violate a prohibition against such rentals or a stricter limitation established by the owner of a multifamily dwelling; or
(5) The short-term residential rental is located in a common-interest community, unless the governing documents of the community expressly authorize the rental of a residential unit or a room within a residential unit for the purposes of transient lodging.
(E) Except as otherwise permitted by City ordinance and State law for existing licensees, it is unlawful to rent for transient lodging purposes a residential unit or a room within a residential unit that is located in an apartment building. For purposes of this Subsection, "apartment building" means an "apartment house," as defined in LVMC 19.18.020.
