Background Check Investigations in Las Vegas
Special Agent, FBI (Retired)
Call (833) 746-2874
What We Investigate
Our pre-employment background checks are comprehensive and tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. These investigations may include verification of an applicant’s employment and education history to ensure the accuracy of their stated qualifications. We conduct criminal record searches at the county, state, and federal levels, as well as review sex offender registries, an especially critical step for positions involving children, the elderly, or other vulnerable populations. When permitted under Nevada law, we may also include credit reports for roles involving financial responsibility or fiduciary duties. Additional areas of investigation can include civil litigation history, professional license verification, and a review of the applicant’s publicly available social media and web presence. To gather accurate and reliable information, we use a combination of proprietary databases, direct-source verification, and investigative methods such as in-person or telephone inquiries, delivering insights that automated services simply cannot provide.
Complying with Nevada Law
In Nevada, privacy laws governing pre-employment background checks are particularly strict, and employers must comply with NRS Chapter 613 and other applicable statutes. Under NRS 613.570, the use of credit reports in hiring is restricted to positions that involve handling money, accessing confidential information, or where such checks are required by law. NRS 179.245 prohibits employers from requesting or using sealed or expunged criminal records in employment decisions. Additionally, NRS 613.135 protects applicants’ digital privacy by barring employers from requesting access to personal social media accounts or login credentials. For public employers, NRS 613.330 through 613.335 requires that inquiries into criminal history be delayed until later stages of the hiring process, and all employers must ensure that any criminal conviction considered is directly related to the responsibilities of the position. In highly regulated industries such as childcare, healthcare, education, and gaming, more stringent background requirements may apply. At Sin City Private Investigators, we are well-versed in these legal standards and tailor our investigations to meet both general and industry-specific compliance obligations.

Pre-Employment Screening
Protect Your Business. Hire with Confidence.
Hiring an honest, qualified, and trustworthy employee is one of the most important decisions your business can make. It’s not enough to rely on a resume and an interview, you need to be confident that the person you're hiring is who they claim to be, has the necessary qualifications, and poses no risk to your company, your clients, or your reputation. That’s where Sin City Private Investigators comes in.
We conduct comprehensive, law-compliant background investigations that go far beyond online databases. While automated searches can be useful, they are often incomplete and misleading. For example, there is no national criminal database, and no single source will verify an applicant’s actual employment history or education. A proper background check requires the experience of a licensed professional investigator.
Our pre-employment investigations are conducted in accordance with the
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Nevada Revised Statutes, including laws that restrict the use of criminal records, credit reports, and Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) data. We ensure all checks are authorized by the subject in writing, and that all adverse action procedures are followed should a client choose not to hire based on investigative findings.

Credit Checks
Finance / Banking / Gaming Industries

Our credit check add-on provides insight into an applicant’s debt load, payment history, bankruptcies, and overall financial stability, key indicators of potential risk in positions involving money handling, access to sensitive data, or fiduciary responsibility. This service is conducted in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring your hiring process remains both thorough and legally sound.

Stay tuned, fingerprint-based screening is coming soon.
Due Diligence
Due Diligence Investigations for Business Partners & Investors
When entering into a business relationship, trust alone is not enough. Our Due Diligence Investigations are designed to uncover critical background information on potential partners, investors, vendors, or acquisition targets before contracts are signed or capital is committed.

Criminal History Searches
Don't be Fooled! In today's World of instant communication and information at our fingertips, the claim that many websites assert is that they can provide instant Criminal Background Checks. This claim is false! It's not that they want to provide false and incomplete information, it's simply that not all criminal records are computerized. Federal Criminal cases are only available online since 2005. Anything before 2005 must be searched in person by a Licensed Private Investigator at the Federal Courthouse. That’s where Sin City Private Investigators come in; we’re a trusted source for background check investigations in Las Vegas.
INFIDELITY CASES
What do you really know about another person? If you suspect that your loved one is cheating on you, what else are they hiding? Relationships are built upon honesty and trust. Once you've lost the ability to trust the person you love, the foundation of the relationship begins to crumble. Do they have a Criminal History? Do they have a violent past? Have they declared bankruptcy or experienced other severe financial difficulties that they are hiding from you? You deserve to know the truth!
Sin City Private Investigators can help you find the truth. We utilize databases systems that are only available to Law Enforcement, Insurance Companies and Governmental Institutions. Our informational resources are accurate and dependable, unlike those gimmicky on-line "instant check" sites. You can trust the information we provide to you about your loved one to be reliable and precise. If a person will lie about a small thing, they will most certainly lie about something much more important. Find out the truth with the help of a spouse or partner background check from the team at Sin City Private Investigators in Las Vegas. Call us today 1-833-746-2874.
