Clark County, NV Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Under Clark County Title 7 Chapter 7.100 (2024 STR ordinance), short-term rental occupancy is capped at 2 persons per bedroom plus 2 additional occupants, with a hard maximum of 16 overnight guests regardless of bedroom count. Infants under 2 years old typically do not count toward the cap. The ordinance also caps daytime visitors, which historically were used as a loophole for parties; total persons on the property at any time cannot exceed 150 percent of the overnight cap (for example, 12 overnight becomes 18 persons maximum during the day). Sleeping is only allowed in legal bedrooms as defined by Title 30 (minimum 70 square feet with a window and proper egress); converted living rooms, garages, and basements without egress windows do not count as bedrooms for STR purposes. The licensee must post the occupancy limit inside the unit and include it on all platform listings. Exceeding occupancy is one of the most common bases for license suspension. The 2024 ordinance also prohibits STR use in units of less than 500 square feet total living area, and properties must be at least 660 feet from another licensed STR to prevent concentration in single neighborhoods.
