The Health District's Website Shows No Closures Since September. Its Own Records Show Six More, Including Paris Cabaret Lounge.
The Southern Nevada Health District closed at least six more Clark County food businesses between Oct. 14 and Nov. 5, 2026, according to records the district released to Pace Vegas on Nov. 12. None of them shows up as a closure on the district's website, which has not displayed a closure since Sept. 13. The district told Pace Vegas on Nov. 4 that the gap is a technical problem it is working to fix.
Due to technical issues, the website is currently not displaying closures for Clark County food establishments. We are working to resolve the issue.
The six closures came back in a single spreadsheet, the district's answer to a public records request Pace Vegas filed on Nov. 4 under Nevada's public records law. Four of the six are dated Nov. 3 through Nov. 5.
Paris Cabaret Lounge, the bar inside Paris Las Vegas on the Strip, was closed with fees on a routine inspection on Nov. 4. The inspector marked gross unsanitary conditions including pest infestation, which can close a business by itself, along with pest control, food wholesome and the condition of the physical facility.
Jipata at 3460 Arville St. was closed with fees on a reinspection on Nov. 4. The marked items included chemicals, pest control, equipment, food contact surfaces, protection of food from employees and cross contamination, the grade card, the person in charge, labeling and dating, and thawing and cooling.
Pollos El Dorado at 5717 Merrill was closed with fees on a routine inspection on Nov. 3 for lack of adequate refrigeration, an imminent hazard under district rules. The inspector also marked food held at proper temperatures, chemicals, equipment, cross contamination, backflow prevention, labeling and cooling. It passed a reinspection the next day with an A and zero demerits.
Casa Mastranto, a mobile food business permitted at 949 Empire Mesa Way in Henderson, was closed with fees on a routine inspection on Nov. 5. The inspector marked no potable or hot water and sewage not disposed of properly, along with hot and cold running water, backflow, food contact surfaces, cross contamination, single use items, labeling and operating within the terms of the health permit.
RPM Italian at 3500 S. Las Vegas Blvd. was closed with fees on a routine inspection on Oct. 15 for sewage or liquid waste not disposed of in an approved manner. The district's record shows a reinspection the same afternoon, about seven minutes later, with an A and zero demerits.
Viva El Taco Mexican Food at 6775 E. Lake Mead Blvd. was closed with fees on a reinspection on Oct. 14. The marked items were handwashing and bare hand contact, food held at proper temperatures, food contact surfaces, cross contamination and labeling. It passed a reinspection the next day with an A and zero demerits.
Three of the six reopened within a day. The district's file has no reopening date for the other three, Paris Cabaret Lounge, Jipata and Casa Mastranto.
For scale: the district's public data showed 54 closures from Jan. 1 through Sept. 13, about six a month. The new file shows six in the 23 days from Oct. 14 to Nov. 5. The file does not say whether those six are every closure in that window, and it starts on Oct. 14, not Sept. 13, so the month between is still missing.
The request also asked for the full inspection reports, including inspectors' narrative notes, on the eight worst closures from our Nov. 5 report, among them K-Ssambap, Sharky's Woodfired Mexican Grill and Jerk Dat. Those were not in the response. Neither was any record of when the closure listings stopped appearing on the district's website, or when the fix is expected.
The records describe inspection items in the district's standard wording; they do not include the inspectors' notes, so what is above paraphrases the items as the district recorded them. Owner and contact details in the file are not published here.
