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.

What identification is acceptable for Nevada notarization?

Nevada law accepts several forms of identification for notarization: current Nevada driver's license, Nevada state identification card, U.S. passport or passport card, military identification card, or other government-issued photo identification containing signature and physical description. The ID must be current and unexpired. For Las Vegas hospital visits or situations where standard ID isn't available, Nevada law provides alternative identification methods. Lake Mead Mobile Notary verifies all identification according to Nevada requirements and can advise on acceptable alternatives when standard ID isn't available.

What's the difference between a police crash report and the DMV's DLD-68 affidavit?

Police reports and DMV crash affidavits are separate filings with different agencies. A police crash report documents law enforcement's investigation, while the DLD-68 affidavit is submitted to the Nevada DMV Financial Responsibility Unit explaining why you missed the 10-day SR-1 filing deadline. Only the DMV filing prevents license suspension.

Many drivers assume filing a police report satisfies all post-crash obligations. In reality, Nevada law (NRS 484E.070) requires independent DMV notification within 10 days for any crash involving injury, death, or property damage exceeding $750. Police reports are not forwarded to DMV's Financial Responsibility Unit. When that deadline passes, you must submit a notarized DLD-68 affidavit to avoid automatic suspension.

πŸ“‹ Key Differences:

  • Police Report: Filed with law enforcement; establishes fault/liability for insurance claims
  • DLD-68 Affidavit: Filed with Nevada DMV; sworn statement explaining late reporting; prevents license suspension
  • Notarization Requirement: Police reports = no notary needed; DLD-68 = wet-ink notary signature mandatory
  • Processing Agency: Police = local jurisdiction; DLD-68 = DMV Financial Responsibility Unit in Carson City

⚠️ Critical Timeline: If you miss the 10-day SR-1 window, DMV sends a suspension warning letter giving you 10-15 business days to submit a notarized DLD-68. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day DLD-68 notarization throughout Henderson, Las Vegas, and all Clark County areas, ensuring your affidavit reaches DMV before suspension takes effect.
