"only"? n.b.: If your business model is renting out luxury condos to people on the Internet, you're going to have a bad time. People will use them for parties.

So Las Vegas Hotels have a bad business model?

There are ways to deal with potential issues, ie. security deposits

Las Vegas hotels are staffed around the clock, owned by large companies with paid staff. In the event of damages or unruly behavior, they can kick someone out or have them arrested in short order. AirBnB listings tend be owned by individuals or families, and are often rented when those owners are absent. I can't imagine a security deposit in such a situation of less than 10% of the property's value.
