Night Caps: Las Vegas vs North Las Vegas

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.

Is there a yearly night cap on North Las Vegas STRs?

North Las Vegas does not set a blanket annual night cap. Instead it restricts STRs to owner-occupied primary residences with separation buffers, effectively limiting rental volume.

Are one-night stays allowed?

Most North Las Vegas operators apply a minimum 2-night stay under Ordinance 3127 to discourage party rentals, and some hosts use longer minimums to comply with platform and insurance rules.
