Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Group, Local Police Teaming Up to Prevent Wild Spring Break Parties

LAS VEGAS, NV – Thinking of heading to Las Vegas to enjoy some rowdy Spring Break partying in the coming weeks? If that’s the case, you might want to engage in a more subdued affair when you visit Sin City, because a major local area short-term rental advocacy group is teaming up with authorities to prevent such gatherings from getting out of control.

Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association (GLVSTRA) founder Jacqueline Flores notes that the Las Vegas valley is home to literally thousands of short-term rental properties, and she wants the neighborhoods they are in to know there’s no need to be worried about crazy keggers next door this Spring Break season.

A lot of these property owners, the last thing they want is to have something like that in their property,” Flores said. “They spend thousands of dollars renovating their houses and getting them ready to rent, so the last thing they want is to have damage to their property.”

GLVSTRA will be requesting that their approximately 2,000 members pay special attention to rental units across the valley to make sure things aren’t getting out of hand.

Also, the group is reiterating the policies that their members are expected to adhere to, such as properly vetting their guests, displaying strict house rules – including the prohibition of large gatherings – and to have security and noise monitoring measures in-place on each property.

In addition, the Las Vegas Police Department will also be ramping up enforcement during Spring Break season, with officers actively patrolling their respective beats for disturbances at known short-term rental “party locations.” Communities are also being urged to report any instances of large parties or anything else out of the ordinary during Spring Break season.

We take these calls seriously and will respond appropriately when resources are available,” a Las Vegas Metro Police spokesperson said.

Airbnb – which operates approximately 70 percent of all short-term rentals in the valley – will also be pitching in, using AI-based reservation tech to single out reservations that are considered “high risk” to stop wild parties before they happen.

Airbnb prohibits disruptive and unauthorized parties, and we use machine learning to try to identify and block potentially high-risk bookings before they happen,” an Airbnb rep said. “This technology is in effect year-round, globally, and will continue to be in place for the Las Vegas area over Spring break. While issues are rare, we offer multiple ways to reach us to report a concern–like our 24-hour Neighborhood Support Line–and take swift action against users and listings that violate our policies, including so-called ‘party houses’.”
