Las Vegas, NV Short-Term Rentals: Night Caps (2026)

Unlike many California coastal cities and several large U.S. metros, Las Vegas does not regulate STR intensity through a numerical cap on rentable nights per calendar year. LVMC Chapter 6.75, adopted on August 17, 2022 to implement Nevada AB 363 (2021), controls STR activity through eligibility filters rather than an annual booked-night ceiling: the dwelling must be the owner's primary residence, the owner must occupy the property during each rental, there is a three-bedroom maximum, the property must sit at least 660 feet from any other licensed STR, and it must sit at least 2,500 feet from any non-restricted gaming property. As long as those eligibility criteria continue to be met, the license imposes no separate limit on the number of nights that may be booked in a year. The closest functional restriction is the Nevada statewide minimum-stay rule under AB 363: non-owner-occupied STRs in counties with 700,000 or more residents (which includes Clark County) must be booked for at least two consecutive nights. Because Las Vegas separately requires owner occupancy, the practical effect is that single-night stays are most often flagged when an address fails the owner-occupancy test rather than because the city tracks a per-year night cap. Operators who lose eligibility mid-year (for example, owner relocates and the property is no longer a primary residence) must surrender the license; continuing to rent is treated as unlicensed activity rather than as exceeding a cap.
