Paradise, unincorporated Clark County
Biohazard cleanup in Paradise
Your mail says Las Vegas, but around the Strip you are outside the city limits. Paradise is the unincorporated town that takes in much of the Strip and the neighborhoods east and south of it. There is no city hall here. Clark County is the local government, and Metro is the police.

What unincorporated means for you
Clark County describes Sahara Avenue, where it crosses the Strip, as the boundary of the City of Las Vegas. People living south of that line get their city-type services from the county, and the county has jurisdiction over the Strip.
Policing is by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, which covers both the city and the unincorporated county. For something that is not an emergency, Clark County's own pages give (702) 828-3111 for an officer.
None of that changes how a cleanup is arranged. It tells you which officers to ask about a release, and that questions about the building go to the county, not to the city.
Apartments and condos: three extra steps
Tell the manager early
The office controls gates, parking, elevators and the trash enclosure. A cleanup company needs all four. Managers have usually dealt with this before.
Think about the unit below
In an upstairs unit, fluid can pass through the floor. Ask the company to look at the ceiling underneath, with the manager's help.
Shared air
Odor moves along corridors and sometimes through shared ducts. Keep the unit door shut and the cooling running until the work starts.
Hotels and short stays
If something happened in a hotel room, the hotel deals with its own rooms. Speak to the management. Our number is for homes: houses, condos, apartments and the vehicles parked outside them.

A phone call is enough to get started
You don't need to have every answer first. Questions are welcome before the home is released, before the insurer has replied and before you have decided anything.
Talk it through with a cleanup company
Tell them what happened, what kind of home it is and whether police or the coroner have finished. They will say how they would go about it and what they charge for. Whether to hire them is up to you.
