Clark County is facing criticism for its short-term rental regulations, four years after their implementation. Short-term rentals through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo are attractive to large families or groups visiting Las Vegas.
However, permits are hard to come by, with only 208 licensed listings in Clark County as of October. In contrast, there are 14,000 illegal listings, according to Inside Airbnb.
The county has sparingly issued permits since Nevada lawmakers passed AB363 in 2021, lifting the prior ban on short-term rentals.
Critics argue that the law is an Airbnb "ban in disguise" in Vegas.
