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 happens if ICE audits my company?

When ICE audits your company, they issue a Notice of Inspection (NOI) requiring you to produce all I-9 forms and supporting documentation within 3 business days. The NOI specifies the timeframe of employment records to be inspected (typically all current employees plus terminated employees within the retention period), and employers cannot refuse the inspection or delay production beyond the 3-day deadline. ICE inspectors review every I-9 form for technical compliance—Section 1 completion, Section 2 timely verification, Section 3 reverification when applicable, proper document examination, correct dates, valid signatures, and adherence to acceptable document lists. Violations result in fines ranging from $288 to $2,861 per paperwork error, $716 to $28,619 per knowing hire of unauthorized workers, and $590 to $11,823 per document fraud violation, with average penalties of $500 to $5,000 per violation depending on violation severity and employer compliance history.

ICE audits are triggered by anonymous tips, disgruntled employee reports, industry-wide enforcement sweeps targeting high-violation sectors like hospitality, healthcare, construction, and food service, prior violations at the same company, rapid hiring growth that suggests potential unauthorized worker employment, federal contract bidding requiring compliance verification, and random audits conducted without specific cause. During the inspection, ICE may also conduct worksite enforcement actions including employee interviews, document verification with USCIS databases, and criminal investigations if evidence suggests systematic knowing hire violations or fraudulent document use. Employers found with substantial violations face monetary penalties, required termination of unauthorized workers, implementation of mandatory E-Verify enrollment, ongoing compliance monitoring, and potential criminal prosecution of owners, managers, or HR personnel if the violations demonstrate intentional non-compliance.

Lake Mead Mobile Notary helps Las Vegas and Henderson employers prepare for ICE audits by providing professional I-9 verification services that create audit-ready documentation from the outset. Our mobile notaries complete Section 2 verification with proper document examination, accurate data entry, and detailed record-keeping that withstands ICE scrutiny. We also offer pre-audit I-9 reviews for businesses concerned about compliance gaps, identifying common violations like missing signatures, incorrect dates, expired documents without reverification, and incomplete fields—allowing employers to correct issues through good-faith self-audits before ICE initiates formal inspections. This proactive approach significantly reduces penalty exposure and demonstrates due diligence that ICE considers when determining fine amounts.

Can I Get a Digital Copy of My Apostilled Document?

Can I Get a Digital Copy of My Apostilled Document?

Yes. Lake Mead Mobile Notary offers an optional $15 scanback service that creates a clear PDF copy of your completed apostille packet—including the notarized document and the attached apostille certificate—before the originals are packaged and shipped or hand-delivered to their final destination.

The physical originals still move through standard shipping or courier service, but the scanback gives you a digital version for your records and for quick review by attorneys, schools, or advisors.

What the $15 Scanback Service Includes

The scanback service is designed to create a usable, legible digital record of your completed apostille packet. It is billed per set of documents, not per page, so you know what to expect up front.

  • High‑quality scan of the full apostille packet: Including the notarized document and the attached apostille certificate.
  • PDF file delivery: Typically sent securely by email or another agreed method.
  • Flat pricing: $15 per scanback set for most apostille orders.

Why a Digital Copy Is Helpful

A digital copy lets you quickly forward the apostilled document to decision‑makers while the original is in transit to a court, university, consulate, or business. It also gives you a permanent backup file in case the physical envelope is ever misplaced or if you need to reference the apostille details for future applications.

When a Scanback Does and Does Not Replace the Original

For most courts, consulates, and government agencies, the original paper apostille remains the controlling document. The PDF is primarily for your internal use and for preliminary review by third parties.

  • Appropriate uses for scanbacks: Attorney review, school or HR pre‑screening, internal compliance files, or sharing with family members.
  • Situations that usually require the original: Visa and immigration filings, foreign court submissions, formal school enrollment, or bank and real estate transactions.

Adding Scanback to Your Apostille Order

You can request scanback when you first book or at any point before final shipment is arranged. The $15 fee will appear as a separate line item on your quote or invoice so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

If you already have an order in process and decide you want a digital copy, let Lake Mead Mobile Notary know before the packet leaves the office so the scan can be created without delaying shipping.

Want a Digital Copy Added to Your Apostille?

Mention the $15 scanback option when you call or book online, and Lake Mead Mobile Notary will include a clear PDF of your apostilled documents along with the original hard copy delivery.
