Hi all, I have a spare laptop here that I lend out to staff and visitors (if they need to present, etc). It's AAD joined, which is okay for staff. But for visitors, I would like to use a local account so they can't access resources, etc. Is it possible to log in with a local user account on an AAD joined Windows 10 machine? Or are there any other suggestions to handle this situation?

It is. Just remember to actually create the local account, as no such will exist if you join the device to AAD via the OOTB experience :)

@Kevin_Hodges "local" may or may not work, but using .\ will, where the . symbol is a wildcard that represents the local machine. You should be able to notice the domain that you are logging into at the bottom of the Windows login screen change to the hostname of the PC. Additionally, by this same logic, you can type the hostname\username to login. Hostnames of PCs can be found in the system info "device name" or from CMD by typing hostname by itself and hitting enter.
