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.

What Cost Savings Do Clark County Schools Achieve Through Professional Faculty I-9 Coordination

Clark County schools achieve substantial cost savings through professional faculty I-9 coordination, including $2,400-$4,800 savings per hiring cycle compared to traditional HR-only processing methods and 90% faster completion times for teacher certification and employment verification. Professional coordination reduces administrative overhead by handling federal compliance requirements efficiently, eliminates multiple HR staff hours that cost $45-75 per hour, and prevents hiring delays that can cost school districts $8,000-15,000 in substitute teacher expenses and classroom disruption. CCSD administrators report operational efficiency improvements of 85-95% when using mobile I-9 coordination for new teacher onboarding, substitute certification, and emergency hiring situations, enabling HR departments to focus on educational planning rather than administrative coordination throughout complex school district hiring processes requiring precise federal compliance and professional timing coordination.

Can I get my personal belongings from a repossessed car without paying the full balance?

Yes. Under Nevada law (NRS 487.560), you have the legal right to retrieve personal belongings from a repossessed vehicle without paying the full redemption amount. Tow yards must allow you to access personal property within reasonable hours, typically charging a $25-50 administrative fee for the retrieval service.

However, most Las Vegas tow yards require notarized authorization if you're not the registered owner or if there are title complications. This protects them from liability claims. Common scenarios requiring notarization include:

  • Co-borrower retrieving property when primary borrower is unavailable
  • Family member accessing belongings on your behalf (requires notarized power of attorney)
  • Property disputes between joint owners or divorcing spouses
  • Business vehicles containing company property (corporate authorization letter must be notarized)

โฐ Critical Timeline: Nevada tow yards typically hold personal property for 30-45 days after repossession before disposal. Storage fees continue to accrue, so retrieving belongings quickly saves money. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day tow yard notarization service throughout Las Vegas and Henderson, meeting you on-site to notarize property release authorizations.

๐Ÿ“‹ What You Can (and Can't) Retrieve: Personal property includes clothing, tools, car seats, electronics, documents, and personal effects. You cannot remove permanently affixed equipment (stereo systems, GPS units, custom wheels) or items that are part of the vehicle's secured collateral. If disputes arise, notarized affidavits documenting ownership of contested items may be required.

Are mobile notarizations just as valid as in-office notarizations in Nevada?

Yes. In Nevada, a notarization performed by a commissioned notary is valid whether it occurs in an office or at your location, provided statutory requirements are met: personal appearance, government-issued ID verification, complete notarial certificate, and proper journal entry and seal. Mobile service changes the โ€œwhere,โ€ not the legal standard. For documents with venue wording, the notary lists the correct county/city for where the signing occurs.
