Summary
Guests at a licensed Las Vegas short-term rental must park on the property itself, not in the adjacent public right-of-way, under LVMC 6.75.090(C), and commercial vehicles are barred from the unit and the street outside except in commercial zones. Occupancy is separately capped by the same Section at two people per bedroom, housing-code limits, or 16 people, whichever is lowest.
(B) The maximum occupancy of a short-term residential rental unit shall not exceed any of the following limits: (1) Two persons per bedroom (but excluding children under the age of twelve); (2) The maximum occupancy limits for residential dwellings established by the Uniform Housing Code, as adopted in LVMC Chapter 16.20; or (3) Sixteen persons within that unit at any given time. (C) All occupant vehicles shall be parked on site, and shall not be parked in the adjacent public right-of-way. No commercial vehicles shall be permitted on the short-term residential rental unit property or parked in the adjacent public right-of-way, except where otherwise permitted in commercial zoning districts.

Full Breakdown
090, "Miscellaneous provisions," is the operating-conduct Section every licensed short-term residential rental in the City must follow, and Subsection (C) is the parking rule: all occupant vehicles shall be parked on site, and shall not be parked in the adjacent public right-of-way, and no commercial vehicles shall be permitted on the short-term residential rental unit property or parked in the adjacent public right-of-way, except where otherwise permitted in commercial zoning districts. 20, or sixteen people total, whichever is lowest, since a fully booked unit can generate more vehicles than a driveway can hold.

Violations & Fines
Parking occupant vehicles in the public right-of-way instead of on site, or keeping a commercial vehicle on an STR property or the street outside a commercial zone, violates LVMC 6.75.090(C) and is punishable under the Title 1 general penalty, LVMC 1.24.010: up to a $1,000 fine, up to six months in jail, or both, with each day a separate offense. A second Chapter 6.75 violation on the same unit within 24 months can trigger suspension or revocation of the STR license under 6.75.110.
