LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A group of Las Vegas Valley neighbors want relief from parties, noise and constant traffic tied to a short-term rental in their southeast neighborhood.
The issue comes as Clark County faces limits on enforcement due to an injunction issued in federal court in December: a judge granted an emergency injunction to pause fines and citations after homeowners and Airbnb argued that draconian regulations were unconstitutional.
The County filed a notice to appeal, and a new court date has not been set. In new court documents filed, the District Attorney argues that county ordinances are meant to prevent “public harm” caused by guests, and various codes have been created under the guidance of state law.
FOX5 reached out to Clark County about its enforcement options during this time. A spokesperson provided the following guidance:
“The County addresses any quality of life issues, so to speak, which would include things like noise complaints, parking, trash, etc. If residents are encountering issues like these, they can report it to the Clark County Code department through Fix It Clark County, immediate needs can be directed to Metro. The County is currently unable to enforce if a property is licensed or not as the result of the injunction.”
Since March 2023, a property off Robindale Road and Paradise Road has received $18,000 in fines, according to county officials. Neighbor Matthew Hoffman went before the County Commission Tuesday in an effort to get relief for his neighborhood.
“It’s been non-stop ever since,” said Hoffman. “My neighbors, many of whom have lived here for 20 plus years, want this resolved,” he said.
In an online listing that appears to be tied to the property in the neighborhood, a stay amounts to roughly $500 a night. Sixteen or more guests can stay at the property, the listing states.
Large groups come in and out of the property on weekends by car, rideshare– and even motorcycle, Hoffman said. Guests have been seen intoxicated outside the property, he tells FOX5.
The property is tied to an LLC, according to Assessor records. FOX5 was able to track down the property owner and speak to them by phone. The owner did not want to address neighbors’ concerns to FOX5 when asked.
The owner tells FOX5 that he does have a short-term rental license. FOX5 is working to confirm the license with the County.
FOX5 asked the owner about the nature of the fines against his property. He did not wish to disclose the specific violations– but argued that code enforcement officers may cite him without a thorough investigation, and he works to appeal the various violations.
However, Hoffman praised officers for thorough and diligent investigations:
“Right now I know [enforcement is] somewhat at a standstill, but I know that the county does care and the good workers at code enforcement really do care about our community and the community they live in as well,” he said.
The Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association issued the following statement to FOX5:
The Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association strongly supports the constitutional right to peacefully gather and assemble. At the same time, that right comes with a responsibility to respect neighbors and maintain community standards.
Whether a home is a short-term rental, a long-term rental, or owner-occupied, all residents should be held to the same nuisance laws that protect quality of life.
When concerns are reported, it is the responsibility of the County and Metro to review complaints and take appropriate action when actual violations occur, ensuring fairness for everyone in the community.
