El Cortez Hotel & Casino is a historic hotel and casino located at 600 East Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. Opening on November 7, 1941, it is the oldest continuously operating casino in Las Vegas. Built by Marion Hicks and J.C. Grayson for $245,000, the property became so profitable that Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Gus Greenbaum, and Moe Sedway purchased it in 1945 for $600,000. Jackie Gaughan bought El Cortez in 1963 and owned it until his death in 2014. On February 22, 2013, the structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The property remains family-owned by the Gaughan family.

The property features 364 rooms including Original 47 vintage rooms preserving 1940s character, Pavilion Rooms added in 1963, and modern Cabana Suites.

Can You Provide a Second Witness for Trust Signings in Lake Las Vegas?

Yes, Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides professional witness services for trust signings throughout Lake Las Vegas when requested in advance. Nevada law requires "disinterested witnesses" for certain trust types—witnesses who are not beneficiaries, not related to the grantor, and have no financial interest in the trust assets. Our professional witnesses meet all Nevada legal requirements and can testify in court if needed years later during estate administration.

Witness services are particularly important for Lake Las Vegas residents establishing irrevocable trusts, testamentary trusts, or special needs trusts where Nevada law mandates witness signatures in addition to notarization. We bring qualified witnesses to your residence, Westin suite, Hilton room, or MonteLago office for discrete, professional service.

Common challenge: High-net-worth families often cannot use family members (who are beneficiaries), household staff (potential conflict of interest), or neighbors (may not be immediately available) as witnesses. Professional witness services solve this problem by providing legally qualified, disinterested witnesses who maintain proper records and understand their responsibilities.

Witness service pricing: $25-50 per witness depending on document complexity. Most trusts requiring witnesses need two witnesses. Inform us when booking if witness services are needed so we coordinate schedules. Your estate planning attorney will specify whether your trust requires witnesses—we execute according to their instructions.

Can you notarize documents in patient rooms?

Yes, we routinely perform notarizations at patient bedsides or hospital rooms, provided the signer is alert, coherent, and has valid ID. We'll work with staff to meet health protocols.

What is a Minor Travel Consent, and is it required?

It’s a notarized letter allowing a child to travel with one parent or another adult. While not always legally required, most airlines and border agents request it — and notarization makes it official.

Do pharmaceutical vendors accept out-of-state pharmacy license affidavit notarizations?

Most pharmaceutical wholesalers and DSCSA-compliant vendors specifically require Nevada notarization for pharmacy licensing affidavits used in drug supplier relationships. Out-of-state notarizations may be accepted for the initial pharmacy licensing application with the Nevada Board of Pharmacy, but vendor quality agreements typically mandate Nevada notarization because the agreement is being executed in Nevada and DSCSA compliance requirements reference state-specific notarization standards.

Real Scenario: A pharmacy owner in Arizona submitted an Arizona-notarized pharmacy compliance affidavit to a Nevada-based pharmaceutical wholesaler. The wholesaler rejected it, stating "We require Nevada notarization for all pharmacy compliance documentation per our DSCSA audit standards." The pharmacy owner had to pay for re-notarization in Nevada, delaying the vendor relationship startup by one week.

Key Distinction:

  • (1) Your Nevada Board of Pharmacy licensing application may accept out-of-state notarization if it's properly formatted
  • (2) Pharmaceutical vendor quality agreements almost always require Nevada notarization because the vendor is in Nevada and the agreement is being executed under Nevada law

To avoid rejection delays, use Nevada notarization for all pharmaceutical vendor agreements, quality agreements, and compliance documentation. For initial Board of Pharmacy licensing, check with the Board to confirm whether out-of-state notarization is acceptable before submitting—most require Nevada notarization anyway.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides experienced pharmacy affidavit notarization throughout Henderson and all of Clark County. Our notaries understand pharmaceutical compliance language and ensure your affidavits meet both Board of Pharmacy standards AND vendor DSCSA compliance requirements on the first attempt.
