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.

Can a Property Manager or Agent sign a utility affidavit instead of the Landlord, and what specific authorization is required?

Yes. A Property Manager or Agent may sign the utility affidavit if they show written authority to act for the owner. Utilities often require a specific Power of Attorney or a Management Agreement that explicitly authorizes utility actions. Many providers also ask that the authorization itself be notarized. Without verified capacity, the counter will reject the filing.

We notarize both the agent’s authorization and the affidavit in one visit across Southern Highlands, Green Valley Ranch, Seven Hills, and Rhodes Ranch. See Power of Attorney, Affidavits and Sworn Statements, and Notary with Witnesses Provided.

How Does an Occupancy Verification Determine Occupied vs Vacant in Clark County

We confirm status using a wide-to-close exterior photo set, address and mailbox images, visible utility indicators, and curbside neighbor context when appropriate. If client-approved, limited interior frames verify utilities and basic use. The final package includes timestamps and a short factual summary lenders and managers can rely on.
