Restaurant inspections in Clark County

The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) inspects restaurants across Clark County, including Las Vegas, unannounced and at least once a year. Every restaurant posts an A, B or C grade card.

What the results mean

Results as SNHD publishes them
Result	What it means
A	0 to 10 demerits.
B	11 to 20 demerits, or the same priority or priority foundation violation found again.
C	21 to 40 demerits, or a B that gets 11 or more on its re-inspection.
Closure	Over 40 demerits, an imminent health hazard, or a C that fails its re-inspection.
Pass / Fail	For farmers markets and a few other permits: 0 to 15 demerits passes.

Good to know

Fewer demerits is better: a priority violation costs 5, a priority foundation one 3.
A B or C is re-inspected after 15 business days, and can win back the A.
Each permit posts its own card, so one casino can show many different grades.

Check or report a restaurant

Search SNHD's Restaurant Inspection Search. Inspections appear about 5 business days after they happen.
Use the Restaurants/Food Establishment complaint option on SNHD's Report page.
