Las Vegas treats unruly gatherings as public nuisances under LVMC 9.16. LVMPD can issue citations after a single noise complaint between 10 PM and 7 AM, and recurring parties at short-term rentals trigger STR-specific strikes under LVMC 6.85.
Loud parties in Las Vegas fall under both general nuisance ordinances (LVMC 9.16 disturbing the peace) and the city's noise code with quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM. After one verified complaint, LVMPD typically issues a warning; a second response within 24 hours can bring a misdemeanor citation against the host and property owner. Short-term rental hosts face escalating consequences under LVMC 6.85 — the STR ordinance includes a strike system where multiple verified complaints can lead to permit suspension or revocation. Hotel parties are handled under casino property rules and can lead to ejection under NRS 463.0129 trespass.
Misdemeanor citations carry fines up to $1,000 and possible jail. STR hosts can also lose their LVMC 6.85 permit after repeated party complaints, and hotels may pursue trespass charges against ejected guests.
