Miscellaneous provisions (Las Vegas Municipal Code)
Operative Text
(A) The operator shall post a copy of the license along with a copy of this Section 6.75.090 in a conspicuous place within the short-term residential rental unit. (B) The maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit shall not exceed any of the following limits: (1) Two persons per bedroom (but excluding children under the age of twelve); (2) The maximum occupancy limits for residential dwellings established by the Uniform Housing Code, as adopted in LVMC Chapter 16.20 ; or (3) Sixteen persons within that unit at any given time. (C) All occupant vehicles shall be parked on site, and shall not be parked in the adjacent public right-of-way. No commercial vehicles shall be permitted on the short-term residential rental unit property or parked in the adjacent public right-of-way, except where otherwise permitted in commercial zoning districts. (D) Notwithstanding the provisions of LVMC Chapter 9.16 , the use of any radio receiver, stereo, musical instrument, sound amplifier or similar device which produces, reproduces or amplifies sound shall take place only within an enclosed short-term residential rental unit. The property owner or operator of a short-term residential rental unit shall use reasonably prudent business practices to ensure that the occupants or guests of the rental unit do not create unreasonable noise or disturbances. (E) The operator shall make available a local twenty-four-hour phone number that provides the capability of producing a response within two hours to complaints regarding the condition, operation, or conduct of the occupants of the short-term residential rental unit. Failure of the operator or an employee or agent to respond to the complainant within two hours shall constitute a violation of this Chapter. In the case of a short-term residential rental unit with more than five bedrooms, compliance with this Subsection (E) requires the operator to engage as its agent for the purpose of responding to complaints a company licensed to provide security pursuant to NRS Chapter 648. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a dwelling unit is presumed to have the number of bedrooms indicated in the records of the Clark County Assessor's Office that pertain to that unit, but that presumption may be rebutted by inspection or other competent evidence. (F) A placard shall be displayed on the exterior of each short-term residential rental unit listing the information set forth below in this Subsection (F). The placard shall be in plain view of the general public at all times the short-term residential rental unit is occupied and shall be a minimum of eight and one-half inches by eleven inches in size. The placard must specify the maximum occupancy allowed pursuant to this Section, as well as the twenty-four-hour contact information required by Subsection (E) of this Section. The information required by the preceding sentence must be in a minimum legible font of seventy-two-point or a minimum of one and one-half inches in height. The required contact information shall include a full name and telephone number of the contact. (G) Trash and refuse shall not be left or stored in public view, except in proper containers for the purpose of collection in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 9.08 . The owner of the property or manager of the short-term residential rental unit shall be responsible for notifying occupants of trash disposal procedures and for maintaining compliance with the requirements of Chapter 9.08 . (H) Consistent with and as a reflection of the definition of the term "short-term residential rental" set forth in this Chapter, no short-term residential rental unit may be rented for the purpose of holding weddings, parties, receptions or similar events that typically are held at a banquet facility or other facility that is made available for the holding of events on a commercial basis. Any use of the short-term residential rental unit is limited to activities that are incidental to its use for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes. (I) All written or visual advertising for the short-term residential rental must include the business license number assigned to the rental unit. If the short-term residential rental is owner-occupied, the advertising must include a notice or representation that the rental is owner-occupied and that less than the entire dwelling is available for rent. (J) The operator of a short-term residential rental must obtain, and continuously thereafter maintain, valid liability insurance coverage in the minimum amount specified by Subsection (H) of LVMC 6.75.040 . Before commencement of operation, the operator shall file with the Department a certificate of insurance documenting compliance with the insurance requirement, as well as upon future request by the Department. (K) The rental of a residential unit or a room within a residential unit for less than the minimum period for the residential unit is prohibited. If the residential unit: (1) Is owner-occupied, the minimum period for the rental is one night. (2) Is not owner-occupied, the minimum period for the rental is two nights.
Las Vegas Municipal Code § 6.75.090 establishes a set of operating standards for short-term residential rental units. Operators must post their license and this section inside the unit, display an exterior placard with occupancy limits and 24-hour contact information, and maintain liability insurance. Occupancy is capped at two persons per bedroom (excluding children under 12) or sixteen persons total, whichever is lower, and rentals cannot be used for events like weddings or parties. Advertising must include the business license number, and minimum rental periods vary depending on whether the unit is owner-occupied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to § 6.75.090 generally keep their business license and a copy of the section posted visibly inside the unit, and maintain a compliant exterior placard meeting the size and font requirements. A local 24-hour contact number capable of producing a two-hour response to complaints is required, and units with more than five bedrooms must engage a licensed security company as the complaint-response agent. Operators also file a certificate of liability insurance with the Department before commencing operation and ensure all advertising carries the assigned business license number.

Under § 6.75.090, guests staying in a licensed short-term rental in Las Vegas have the right to expect that the unit is operated within posted occupancy limits and that a 24-hour local contact is available to address complaints within two hours. If an operator fails to respond to a complaint within that window, it constitutes a violation of the Chapter, which tenants or guests may report to the City of Las Vegas. Tenant-rights organizations or a licensed attorney familiar with Nevada lodging law can help clarify what remedies may be available if these standards are not met.
