Nevada Short-Term Rental Law Criticized
Clark County's implementation of short-term rental regulations has faced criticism four years after its introduction.
Short-term rentals, often booked through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, can be a cost-effective option for large families or groups visiting Las Vegas.
However, obtaining permits for short-term rentals in Southern Nevada is challenging, with only 208 licensed listings available in Clark County as of October.
- 14,000 illegal listings are operating without permits, according to Inside Airbnb.
Critics argue that the law is an Airbnb "ban in disguise" due to the limited number of permits issued.
This issue arose after Nevada lawmakers passed AB363 in 2021, lifting the prior ban on short-term rentals.
