Background Check Investigations in Las Vegas
Special Agent, FBI (Retired)
Call (833) 746-2874
What We Investigate
Our pre-employment background checks are thorough and customized to meet each client’s specific needs. These investigations may include verification of an applicant’s employment and education history to confirm the accuracy of their stated qualifications. We conduct criminal record searches at the county, state, and federal levels, along with reviews of sex offender registries, an especially critical step for positions involving children, the elderly, or other vulnerable populations.
When permitted under Nevada law, we can also include credit reports for roles involving financial responsibility or fiduciary duties. Additional areas of investigation may include civil litigation history, professional license verification, and an assessment of the applicant’s publicly available social media and online presence.
To ensure the most accurate and reliable results, we combine proprietary database searches with direct-source verification and investigative techniques such as in-person or telephone inquiries, delivering insights that automated services simply cannot match.
Complying With Nevada Law
In Nevada, privacy laws governing pre-employment background checks are especially 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 limited to positions involving the handling of money, access to confidential information, or where such checks are expressly required by law. NRS 179.245 prohibits employers from requesting or using sealed or expunged criminal records when making employment decisions.
Additionally, NRS 613.135 protects applicants’ digital privacy by forbidding employers from requesting access to personal social media accounts or login credentials. For public employers, NRS 613.330 through 613.335 require that criminal history inquiries be delayed until later in the hiring process, and all employers must ensure that any criminal conviction considered is directly relevant to the position’s responsibilities.
In highly regulated industries, such as childcare, healthcare, education, and gaming, more stringent background check 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 requirements.

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

Credit Checks
Finance / Banking / Gaming Industries
In highly regulated sectors like banking, finance, and gaming, a candidate’s financial history can be critical to determining their suitability for employment. 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.

Childcare & Healthcare - Coming Soon

These checks provide access to FBI and state criminal history databases, offering the highest level of identity verification and background scrutiny. While Sin City Private Investigators does not currently offer in-house fingerprinting, we are actively developing this service to better support our clients in these critical industries. 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. We discreetly verify the subject’s financial standing, business history, litigation records, criminal background, reputation, and any undisclosed associations that many present a conflict of interest or reputational risk.
Criminal History Searches
Don’t be fooled. In today’s world of instant communication and easy access to information, many companies claim they can provide “instant” criminal background checks. This simply isn’t true. It’s not that they intend to provide false or incomplete results, rather, the reality is that not all criminal records are digitized.
For example, federal criminal cases have only been available online since 2005. Any cases prior to that year must still be searched in person by a licensed private investigator at the federal courthouse.
That’s where Sin City Private Investigators comes in. We are a trusted, Nevada-licensed source for background check investigations in Las Vegas, ensuring that the information you receive is accurate, complete, and reliable.
-
There are numerous reliable databases that provide detailed information about a person’s criminal history. These databases are not available to the general public, they are proprietary tools used by law enforcement agencies, insurance companies, and licensed private investigators. Even so, they do not always tell the full story. For example, certain jurisdictions, such as the Las Vegas Municipal Court, have yet to enter many of their cases into an accessible computerized system. To obtain a complete picture of someone’s criminal background, an investigator must often travel to the courthouse and conduct in-person research.
Another limitation of so-called “instant background check” sites is that the results rarely reflect the true nature of an offense. Many criminal charges are reduced during plea negotiations, for instance, a prostitution charge may be pled down to trespassing, or a DUI charge to reckless driving. Databases typically only record the final conviction, not the original charge, meaning critical context is lost. Only a licensed private investigator conducting on-site courthouse research can uncover the full and accurate history.
At Sin City Private Investigators, we have access to proprietary databases that provide accurate information regarding criminal history. Beyond database results, we carefully review and verify records to ensure they are relevant to the individual being investigated. When necessary, we also conduct in-person courthouse research to confirm or supplement findings.

Infidelity Cases
What do you really know about another person? If you suspect your loved one is being unfaithful, what else might they be hiding? Relationships are built on honesty and trust, and once that trust is broken, the foundation begins to crumble. Do they have a criminal history? A violent past? Have they filed for bankruptcy or faced other serious financial difficulties they’ve kept from you? You deserve to know the truth.
Sin City Private Investigators can help you uncover the truth. We use database systems available only to law enforcement, insurance companies, and government institutions, resources that provide accurate and dependable information, unlike the unreliable results of online “instant check” sites.
You can trust the information we provide about your spouse or partner to be precise and reliable. After all, if someone is willing to lie about small things, they are far more likely to lie about something significant.
Protect yourself and your peace of mind, find out the truth with a spouse or partner background check from the trusted team at Sin City Private Investigators in Las Vegas. Call us today at (833) 746-2874.
