Why go direct in Las Vegas?
Platforms add roughly 14–17% to the guest's total in service fees — and still take a host fee on top. On an average $150 night in Las Vegas, that is a meaningful slice of your rate handed over with every booking.
Booking via a platform
- Guest pays ~14–17% service fee on top of your rate
- You pay a host fee on each booking
- You don't own the guest relationship or data
- Your listing lives under platform policies
Booking direct
- Guests pay your full rate — no service fee on top
- Zero booking commission for you
- Every guest and stay saved in your own records
- Calendar sync stops double bookings automatically
Your guests pay the same — or less — and you keep the difference. See everything included →
The Las Vegas market
Las Vegas pairs convention traffic with weekend getaways, and its surrounding communities support a large short-term-rental market beyond the Strip. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a steady flow of bookings. A direct-booking website helps Las Vegas hosts capture repeat guests and keep a larger share of revenue.
Short-term-rental rules
Las Vegas and Clark County apply licensing rules for short-term rentals, with permits required in specific areas. Rules vary by municipality, so always verify the current local requirements.
Direct booking in Las Vegas, answered
The questions Las Vegas hosts ask us most — about rules, OTA fees and switching to direct bookings.
Yes, but the City of Las Vegas and Clark County each run their own short-term-rental licensing programs, and some areas restrict them. Verify the requirements for your exact location.
Guests typically pay around 14–17% in service fees on top of the nightly rate, plus a host fee. Direct booking keeps that margin with Las Vegas hosts.
Create a branded booking site from your listing with Stayolo, sync your calendar and Stripe, and send past guests a direct booking link.
Roughly $150 per night on average, with pool homes and event weekends like F1 commanding far more. Direct booking preserves those rates.
Hosts who took back their bookings
We stopped giving 17% away
“I had no idea how much we were handing to booking platforms until we switched. Now repeat guests book through our own site at our full rate, and the calendar sync means no double bookings.”

Repeat guests now book direct
“The website looked like something a designer would charge thousands for. We send every past guest the direct link and around a third of our stays now come in commission-free.”
