Las Vegas Municipal Code §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.75.080 establishes a set of physical safety requirements for short-term residential rental units. Each sleeping room must contain a properly mounted, minimum 10×8-inch evacuation map with exit directions and fire extinguisher locations, and the unit must have fire extinguishers in specified locations — each bearing a current service tag from a Nevada Fire Marshal-certified contractor. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are required in all sleeping rooms and must be installed per applicable codes, with smoke alarm testing records kept on hand for Fire Prevention Division review. The unit must also comply with all applicable City building and technical codes under LVMC Title 16.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of short-term residential rentals subject to Las Vegas Municipal Code §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.75.080 generally ensure that every sleeping room contains a durable, correctly sized evacuation map mounted horizontally on a wall or door, clearly showing exit routes and fire extinguisher locations. Compliant operators maintain fire extinguishers in the kitchen (under the sink), in any garage (wall-mounted no higher than 48 inches), and on each floor level, with each unit bearing a current service tag from a Nevada Fire Marshal-certified contractor. Maintaining a written log of monthly smoke alarm testing and battery replacements — available for inspection by the Fire Prevention Division — is a standard practice for operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.

Guests and tenants staying in a Las Vegas short-term residential rental covered by §§ 6.09, 6.75 § 6.75.080 have a right to accommodations that meet specific safety standards, including a posted evacuation map, properly placed fire extinguishers with current service tags, and functioning smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. If these safety features appear to be missing or non-compliant, one general path is to report the concern to the Las Vegas Fire Prevention Division, which is authorized to verify compliance with this provision. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Las Vegas short-term rental regulations can help explain what options may be available in a given situation.
