  • Daily hotel room cleaning was mandated in Las Vegas by a law enacted during the pandemic in August 2020 and repealed in May 2023

A bill was introduced during Nevada’s legislative session Monday that would bring back mandated daily room cleaning to casino resorts in Las Vegas.

Senate Bill 360 (SB360), also known as “the Hotel Safety Act,” was introduced by freshman Republican State Sen. Lori Rogich. It reinstates a law enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic when Nevada strived to assure Las Vegas visitors that they wouldn’t get sick by staying in their hotels.

Senate Bill 4 was enacted in August 2020 during a special legislative session prompted by the pandemic. It was codified under NRS 447.335, mandating daily housekeeping (unless guests opted out) to maintain health standards.

That mandate held until May 2023, when Gov. Joe Lombardo signed Senate Bill 441, a bipartisan measure that repealed the daily requirement and dissolved the state law. By that time, the virus had weakened and wasn’t much more dangerous than the flu to people who were otherwise healthy.

The Culinary Union, which fought hard to pass SB4, also supports the new bill because it believes that resort companies used SB4’s repeal as an excuse to lay off their cleaning staffs.

Culinary Union fully supports the health and safety of guest room attendants in Nevada and applauds Senator Rogich for introducing SB360 in the Nevada Legislature,” Culinary Secretary-Treasurer Ted Pappageorge said in a news release.

SB360 also provides the authority for room inspections — whether or not the customer wants them. The inspections would be authorized “not less than every second consecutive day during a guest’s occupancy to ensure the safety of the guest and the public.”

SB360 also protects hotel workers from retaliation over what they find during room inspections.

The law would apply to any hotel with “more than 200 guest rooms or suites of guest rooms.”
