Public toilets in Nevada, commonly called washrooms, are found at a rate of around seven public toilets per 100,000 people.
Public toilets[edit]
washroom is one of the most commonly used words for public toilet in the United States.[1] Euphemisms are often used to avoid discussing the purpose of toilets. Words used include toilet, restroom, bathroom, lavatory and john.[2]
A 2021 study found there were seven public toilets per 100,000 people.[3] Public toilets are often located in semi-private public accommodations like hotels, stores, restaurants and coffee shops instead of being street level municipal maintained facilities.[4] A 2021 study found there were ten public toilets per 100,000 people.[5] The cleanest public toilets at a gas station in Nevada, according to the GasBuddy, in 2019 were found at Maverik.[6]
The cost of tickets for Burning Man helps cover some costs associated with running the event, like providing public toilets.[7] These are mostly portable toilets.[8] Some RVs at Burning Man have their own private toilets.[9]
History[edit]
Because Prohibition saw an increase in the construction of public toilets to address the new found demand, many municipalities located outside the South built sex-segregated public toilets that were essentially the same construction inside, with the same number of stalls and layout for each.[10]
