The Southern Nevada Health District conducts unannounced food establishment inspections at least annually and posts results online approximately five business days later, with records reflecting only the specific day and time of inspection.

The Southern Nevada Health District's Environmental Health Food Operations staff provides education and regulation for food establishment operators throughout Clark County, NV.

Restaurant, bar, tavern, snack bar, food processor, warehouse, health food store, market and permanent outdoor barbecue inspection records from 2005 to present are now available through an online search tool.

Southern Nevada Health District now offers downloadable CSV files containing complete restaurant and food establishment inspection records, updated nightly with all fields available online.
