Night Caps: Henderson vs Las Vegas

How many people can stay at a Henderson STR?

Two per bedroom plus two additional guests, with a hard cap of 10 regardless of home size. A 4-bedroom home allows 10; a 5-bedroom still allows 10.

Are one-night stays allowed?

No. Henderson requires a minimum 2-night consecutive stay to discourage single-night party rentals.

Does Las Vegas limit how many nights per year I can rent my STR?

No. LVMC Chapter 6.75 does not impose a calendar-year cap on the number of booked nights for a licensed short-term rental. As long as the dwelling continues to be the owner's primary residence, the owner occupies the home during each stay, and the property meets the bedroom and distance criteria, there is no per-year night ceiling.

Is there a minimum stay requirement?

Yes, but indirectly. Nevada AB 363 (2021) imposes a two-night minimum stay at non-owner-occupied STRs in counties with 700,000 or more residents, which includes Clark County. Because Las Vegas separately requires owner occupancy under LVMC Chapter 6.75, single-night bookings at non-owner-occupied addresses are typically flagged as unlicensed activity rather than as exceeding a night cap.

What happens if my primary residence changes mid-year?

The license becomes invalid the moment the dwelling stops being the owner's primary residence under LVMC Chapter 6.75, and the operator should surrender the license and stop accepting bookings. Continued rental in that situation is treated as unlicensed operation, with $500/day fines for a first offense and $1,000/day for repeats within twelve months, on top of the $1,000 to $10,000 per-violation civil penalty schedule.
