Start with the Local Scale
The Southern Nevada Health District (Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, and the rest of Clark County) grades restaurants with demerits, and a LOWER number is better. Zero to 10 demerits earns an A, 11–20 a B, and 21–40 a C. 41 or more demerits, or an imminent health hazard, can close the business. The public data lists how many violations were cited but not the written description of each one.
A Score is Not Universal
Never compare results between cities. Some departments add points for violations, others use pass/fail, and a lower score can mean a better result.
Read Beyond the Latest Result
Check the inspection date, each recorded violation, and any follow-up inspection. Closures and re-inspections are labeled in each restaurant’s history.
What's Covered Here
This page covers restaurants and other food-service businesses inspected under Southern Nevada Health District's restaurant program. Small markets, bodegas, and corner stores that sell food are usually inspected under a separate retail food program, which most areas don't publish as open records. If a store you're looking for doesn't turn up in search, that's the most common reason — it may be a real, licensed business that simply isn't part of this particular inspection program.
