Full Breakdown
Clark County Code Section 7.100.180(b) prohibits any party, defined at Section 7.100.020(n) as a gathering exceeding the unit's licensed maximum occupancy, inside a licensed short-term rental unit; private guests of an owner-occupied home are exempt. Subsection (c)(2) separately bars outdoor amenities such as pools, spas, barbecues and firepits from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. regardless of party size. Because the Strip's resorts sit in unincorporated Paradise and Winchester townships, this county ordinance, not a Las Vegas city rule, governs short-term rentals there. Violations draw a 500 dollar fine for a first offense and 1,000 dollars for each later one, and can trigger license suspension.
Violations & Fines
First violation draws a 500 dollar citation; each later one costs 1,000 dollars or the nightly rental value, whichever is greater. Owners are liable even if a tenant hosted the party.
