What type of guard card do you need to work in Las Vegas, Nevada?

What type of guard card do you need to work in Las Vegas, Nevada?

Does Nevada require a guard card to work? I see some places require a PILB Card and other want a sheriff's card. Whats the difference? I am aware that to work security in a casino you need a TAM card and a gaming license. From what I believe, The gaming license replaced the actual "sheriffs card" a few years back. Also what do you need to get you armed security license?

    basic security guard work card issued by the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board (PILB) and who need to carry a firearm on the job.

    You go to the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Bureau to obtain one. It used to be that you got the card from the Las Vegas Sheriffs Office but that has changed.

    An alcohol education card (TAM Card) shows prospective employers that you have completed a course in alcohol awareness. Anyone serving, selling or working around alcoholic beverages, such as: bartenders, servers, security staff, cashiers and management, must have an alcohol education card for employment at an establishment (casino, bar, hotel, restaurant or store) in Southern Nevada.

    Since 1947, to work on the premises where liquor and gaming are present a person must obtain a Sheriff's Card, (Work Card). It is mandatory in the State of Nevada regardless of what your position is in a gaming establishment. The purpose of the work card is to document, investigate and license all employees of the gaming and liquor industry.

    Work card processing includes interviewing, fingerprinting and photographing. Work Card is similar in size to a driver's license and is issued the same day as applied for provided there are no complications during the process.
