Short-term rentals booked through platforms such as Airbnb and Vrbo can be an attractive option for large families or groups visiting Las Vegas and looking to save a buck and avoid paying for several hotel rooms.
However, permits for short term rentals in Southern Nevada are hard to come by.
There are only 208 licensed short-term rental listings (defined as units or rooms available for less than 30 days) in Clark County as of October, but flying under the radar are 14,000 illegal listings, according to Inside Airbnb, a website that scrapes and publicizes Airbnb listings in an effort to lobby against the company.
