An inspection is a snapshot of one day. A clean grade isn't a guarantee, and a low one doesn't mean you'll get sick. We translate the official Southern Nevada Health District record; we don't change it. We update from the district's records as new inspections and grade changes post, usually within about a week of a visit. This is the latest the district has on file for this place.
