Assumptions used

  • Clark County transient lodging base: The modeled stay is an ordinary short-term lodging transaction and the displayed amount is limited to Nevada's 5% statutory lodging-tax base on gross room receipts.

What may change the final amount

  • Clark County district-specific lodging layers. Clark County uses separate resort, stadium, and 35-mile-corridor returns; those address-selected additions can increase the result and are not silently combined into the 5% statutory base.
  • Clark County direct and marketplace collection. Direct bookings and licensed accommodation-facilitator bookings have different reporting/remittance paths, so the operator must follow the current county FAQ and return instructions.
  • Source-backed scope note. Clark County has district-specific return types and additions. The 5% statutory base is modeled, while resort, stadium, and 35-mile-corridor additions require an address-specific calculation.
