Who built this, and why it is free
We are Eran and Zohar Lotem. We run 5 Star STR, a vacation rental management company in Las Vegas, and we built this because we needed it ourselves.
Why this exists
Every week someone asks us whether a house can be rented short-term, and the honest answer is almost never simple. The valley has four governments writing four different rule books, most of the addresses that say "Las Vegas" are not in the City of Las Vegas, and the two numbers that decide most applications are distances you cannot eyeball from a listing photo. We had to build the parcel data to answer it for our own properties. Making it public cost us nothing extra.
It is free, there is no account, and you can use it without ever talking to us.
Who we are
Eran Lotem
Operations and guest experience. Ten years in the service industry taught me that the work was never really about the work. It was about how you make people feel. When something goes wrong at 2am, someone on our team is awake and handling it.
Zohar Lotem
Revenue and analytics. Born in the USA, most of my life abroad, moving between countries and experiencing hospitality in every form it takes. Good hospitality always feels the same wherever you are. My side of it is the revenue strategy, the market data and the pricing behind every booking.
The part you should know before you trust us
We manage vacation rentals for a living. If you are looking for a manager we would obviously like it to be us. That is the whole business model behind a free tool, and you should read anything we publish knowing it.
What we will not do is bend a verdict to win a client. A tool that told people what they wanted to hear would be worthless to us within a month, because the first owner who bought on a wrong answer would be right to say so publicly. When the answer is "this address cannot be licensed", the tool says that, and it says it even when the property would have been a good one for us to manage.
We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice. Only the city or county licensing office can give you a binding determination, and we say so on every result.
Where the data comes from
- City limit boundaries from the Clark County GIS office, tested per parcel rather than by ZIP code.
- Licensed short-term rental parcels published by Henderson, the City of Las Vegas, Clark County and the North Las Vegas Conditional Use Permit layer.
- Resort corridor parcels, for the 2,500 ft buffer required valley-wide.
- Rules read from each jurisdiction's municipal code and licensing pages, verified August 2026.
Found something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it. That is not a formality: the ordinances move every few months and the corrections we get from agents and owners are how this stays accurate. 702-887-1099.
The rules on this page apply to a whole city. Whether one parcel qualifies depends on its distance to the nearest licensed rental and to the nearest resort - we measure both against the official parcel data.
