You're booking a party bus for the biggest night of your trip. And you want to have the time of your life without worrying about safety. But the party bus industry has its share of unlicensed operators, uninsured vehicles, and companies that cut corners on maintenance and driver training. Therefore, this guide tells you exactly what to look for, what questions to ask, and what red flags should send you running to a different company.
What Makes a Party Bus Company Legitimate in Nevada?
CPCN Number Every commercial passenger carrier in Nevada must have a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) issued by the Nevada Transportation Authority. This is non-negotiable. Ask for it, verify it, and don't book with any company that can't provide one.
DOT Number Companies operating commercial vehicles must have a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) number. This means they've met federal safety standards for vehicle maintenance, driver qualifications, and insurance.
Commercial Insurance Legitimate party bus companies carry $5 million or more in commercial liability insurance. This protects you in case of an accident. Ask for proof of insurance before booking.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- "What is your CPCN number?" (Verify at nta.nv.gov)
- "What is your DOT number?" (Verify at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov)
- "Can I see proof of insurance?"
- "Are your drivers commercially licensed (CDL)?"
- "Do you conduct background checks and drug testing on drivers?"
- "How often are vehicles inspected?"
- "What happens if the vehicle breaks down?"
- "What is your cancellation and refund policy?"
- "Will the driver be in professional attire?"
- "Is there a written contract?"
🎰 Vegas Fun Fact

Red Flags
- No CPCN or DOT number — Illegal operation
- Cash-only payments — No paper trail, no recourse
- No written contract — Verbal agreements are worthless
- Prices that seem too good to be true — Probably cutting corners on safety
- Can't or won't show proof of insurance — Walk away
- Evasive answers about licensing or inspections
- Unprofessional communication — If they're sloppy before the booking, imagine the service
