Occupancy:

No building or structure for which a Certificate of Occupancy is required under Clark County Title 30 shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made until the Building Official has issued a Certificate of Occupancy.

Stocking goods, training employees, or installing furnishings may be considered a form of occupancy.  Specific questions concerning occupancy authorization should be directed to the assigned building inspector and fire inspector. 

Certificate of Completion (CC):

A Certificate of Completion is a document issued upon completion of work on a structure not intended for occupancy, such as a water tank, or a structure that requires further permitted interior work to occupy, such as a shell building.  A Certificate of Completion does not authorize occupancy of the structure.

Tenant build-outs within a shell structure (permitted as interior remodels) may not receive a final building inspection or receive any type of occupancy authorization, including a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy until the shell building has received approval for the final building inspection and has been granted a Certificate of Completion.
