Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association Files Emergency Preliminary Injunction to Defend Property Owners Against Clark County’s Unconstitutional Overreach

Las Vegas Strip

Las Vegas, NV — The Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association has filed an emergency preliminary injunction to protect local private property owners from the ongoing and aggressive assault by Clark County on private property rights. This legal action comes in response to the County’s all-sides attack designed to shield the corporate profits of the resort hotel industry at the expense of everyday Nevadans. The injunction follows a federal lawsuit challenging Clark County and Nevada’s restrictive short-term rental regulations filed by GLVSTRA earlier this summer.

At a time when tourism is down, Strip hotel prices are at record highs, and average people are struggling to make ends meet, our local and state officials have chosen the worst possible target — Las Vegas homeowners who are simply looking to supplement their income by responsibly renting their private homes to temporary guests.

Rather than working to protect consumers and expand economic opportunity, Clark County has deployed its code enforcement officers as henchmen, weaponizing local ordinances to strip away constitutional protections and undermine property rights. These actions are not about protecting neighborhoods or the public interest — they are about serving the corporate greed of resort hotels that already dominate our tourism economy.

The Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association stands firm in our mission: to defend consumer choice, protect property rights, and preserve the freedom for homeowners to responsibly share their homes. We will not allow Clark County to abuse its power, bypass the will of the people, and dismantle an industry that creates jobs, supports tourism diversity, and gives families a financial lifeline in hard times.

Our urgent legal filing is an essential action to protect the rights of property owners, halt the abuse of power by Clark County's code enforcement officers and commissioners, and create a fair-level environment for everyone in our tourism economy—not just for the large corporations with the most influential lobbyists.

UPDATE: The Federal Court has granted our request for an emergency hearing and scheduled it for this Friday, August 22, 2025, which will be conducted online. One of the key issues we aim to address is the mandate requiring Airbnb to remove unlicensed listings by September 1, 2025. The County has not established a fully operational licensing process and has consistently violated state law by failing to open the licensing process to new applicants each year. Despite this, they are targeting property owners while mismanaging the entire process. We should not be penalized for the County's shortcomings!
