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 I renew my Nevada registration by mail if I'm temporarily out of state and can't get a smog check?

Yes, but you must submit a notarized EC-008 Emission Control Exemption Application with your mail-in renewal packet. Nevada DMV requires EC-008 notarization for all mail-in renewals that claim emission testing exemption, regardless of your reason for being out of state.

Common situations requiring notarized EC-008 for mail-in renewal include:

  • Military deployment: Active duty stationed overseas or out of state where Nevada emissions testing is unavailable
  • Snowbird residents: Nevada residents spending extended periods in Arizona, California, or other states during winter months
  • Extended work travel: Long-term job assignments, contract work, or temporary relocations preventing return to Nevada
  • College students: Nevada residents attending out-of-state universities and maintaining Nevada vehicle registration
  • Medical situations: Extended care or treatment at out-of-state facilities

πŸ“¬ Mail-In Renewal Process with EC-008:

  1. Download and complete EC-008 form (leave signature section blank)
  2. Have EC-008 notarized by a Nevada notary (required even if you're in another state)
  3. Mail notarized EC-008 + renewal notice + payment to address on renewal notice
  4. DMV processes in 10-14 business days and mails registration documents to your Nevada address

⚠️ Nevada Notary Requirement: Even if you're in California, Arizona, or another state, EC-008 must be notarized by a Nevada-commissioned notary with a Nevada seal. Out-of-state notaries are not accepted for Nevada DMV forms. If you're unable to return to Nevada, you have two options: coordinate with a Nevada mobile notary during a brief return visit, or have a Nevada resident with notarized power of attorney handle the renewal on your behalf.

πŸ’‘ Planning Ahead: Many Nevada residents who winter in Arizona or travel frequently schedule mobile notary appointments at their Seven Hills, Summerlin, or Henderson homes before leaving the state. We notarize EC-008 forms in advance, and you mail them when your renewal notice arrives. This prevents renewal delays and late fees ($6 per month).

What constitutes a notary emergency in Las Vegas?

A notary emergency involves time-sensitive documents that cannot wait for regular business hours. Common emergencies include: hospital patients needing power of attorney or healthcare directives before surgery, real estate closing deadlines falling on weekends, legal court filing deadlines approaching after hours, immigration documents with strict deadlines, business contracts requiring immediate execution, and estate planning documents needed urgently due to declining mental capacity. If waiting until the next business day could result in financial loss, legal consequences, or missed opportunities, it qualifies as an emergency.
