LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Airbnb has announced it will once again crack down on unauthorized New Year's Eve parties in Las Vegas.
“We continue to draw a hard line on disruptive parties and emphasize safe and responsible travel during a weekend where we know some may be more inclined to try to throw an unauthorized party,” said the company in a statement to 13 Action News.
Airbnb plans to ban certain one-night bookings during New Year’s Eve for entire home listings in Las Vegas and throughout the country. The company will single out guests without a positive account history — or no previous bookings at all — on the platform.
Since these guidelines were first piloted in 2020, Airbnb estimates they have contributed to a year-over-year global drop in rates of party incidents over NYE of roughly 56 percent.
Specifically in Las Vegas, more than 1,450 people were deterred from booking entire home listings over New Year's Eve in 2021, Airbnb says.
