The Hotel Safety Act, legislation with roots in health policies that morphed during the COVID-19 pandemic, was introduced on Monday at the Nevada Legislature.
It already has the Culinary Union’s endorsement.
Senate Bill 360 (SB360) would require daily room cleaning at hotels in Clark and Washoe counties, setting the policy in state law after the union fought resorts that saw it as an opportunity to reduce jobs coming out of the pandemic. When COVID-19 hit Las Vegas — five years ago this month — daily room cleaning became a requirement as hotels tried to assure customers that they were safe here.
In 2023, the virus had weakened and wasn’t taking a great toll on people who were otherwise healthy.
