IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 45,601 returns moving out of Clark County, the county Las Vegas sits in, and 52,618 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 79,348 individuals leaving and 88,276 arriving.
The counties receiving the most households from Clark County were Los Angeles County, CA (3,176 returns), Maricopa County, AZ (1,488 returns) and San Diego County, CA (1,125 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Los Angeles County, CA (5,979 returns), Orange County, CA (1,837 returns) and San Diego County, CA (1,808 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.
How many licensed moving companies are registered in Las Vegas?
The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 251 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Las Vegas, and 111 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Las Vegas. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Las Vegas may not.
Moving crews quoting Las Vegas work Summerlin, Henderson, Downtown, Spring Valley, Green Valley and the surrounding areas.
Who licenses movers operating in Las Vegas
Movers working inside Las Vegas are licensed by the Nevada Transportation Authority, whose licence, lookup route and complaint channel are set out on the Nevada page.
These companies have a documented headquarters or company location in Las Vegas or its metro. Placement is based on documented location information, not a numeric ranking.

USDOT 2256609Indianapolis, IN2BR est. $3,000–$7,000
Budd Van Lines Inc is an independent nationwide carrier rather than an agent of a national van line, which is rare at this size: the federal census records 124 power units and 102 drivers filed from Somerset, New Jersey. Because the company holds its own active common and contract authority with household goods on the licensing record and no broker authority, the entity you contract with is the entity that hauls the shipment. The company's own history pages date the business to 1975.

Colonial Van Lines Inc files from 1441 SW 29th Avenue in Pompano Beach, Florida, active on the federal census with 25 power units, 25 drivers and an MCS-150 filed 21 March 2025. The licensing record carries motor carrier of household goods authority granted 31 March 2010 and motor carrier of property authority recorded as reinstated on 27 June 2025, both active at the time of reading; no broker authority is carried on this registration. The federal file records a Satisfactory safety rating dated 28 June 2021 alongside a compliance review dated 3 October 2012. A safety rating is a dated federal snapshot of the review that produced it, not a current assessment of the company. The company publishes this USDOT number and MC docket in its own website footer, which is how the registration and the brand were joined. Two further registrations filing from the same address, one under the identical legal name and one under a Texas corporate name, are disclosed separately as related registrations rather than merged into this record. The company states it was founded in 2003.

Which movers are federally registered in Las Vegas?
83 companies with a Las Vegas address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 46 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 30 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
392 active registrants in Las Vegas tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 246 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Las Vegas: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Does a federal registration mean a Nevada licence?
No. Federal registration and Nevada authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a Nevada licence or permit.
A mover operating inside Nevada needs the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the Nevada Transportation Authority. Its rates sit in tariff filed with the Nevada Transportation Authority; the Authority publishes issued certificates as public documents.
The Nevada Transportation Authority publishes issued certificates as public documents. Confirm a Nevada household goods mover with the Authority on 702-486-3303.
Peak demand across Nevada runs October–April. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Las Vegas. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
Mid-month beats month-end. Leases and closings cluster at the turn of the month, so that is when crews are fully booked and least flexible.
Mid-week beats the weekend. Saturday is the single most requested moving day; a Tuesday or Wednesday competes with far fewer households for the same trucks.
Off-peak beats October–April. Outside the peak window, carriers are trying to keep crews working rather than turning jobs away.
Flexibility is the lever, not the calendar alone. On an interstate move, giving the carrier a pickup window of several days rather than one fixed date is usually worth more than any single date choice, because it lets them combine your shipment with another on the same lane.
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Las Vegas, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
$10 to $20 per mover for a job of two hours or less.
$20 to $40 per mover for a local move under four hours.
$40 to $60 per mover for a full day, meaning six hours or longer.
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Las Vegas and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Where can you get free moving boxes in Las Vegas?
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Las Vegas:
Liquor stores, which have the sturdiest small boxes with dividers
Bookshops, for small boxes rated for weight
Grocery stores, for produce boxes
Offices, for paper boxes with lids
Appliance and furniture retailers, for large flat cartons
Buy Nothing groups and Facebook Marketplace
Craigslist free listings
The U-Haul box exchange
Anyone in your building who has moved in recently
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
There is no separate cost dataset for Las Vegas. Using the national estimate, a one-bedroom local move is estimated at $420–$930 and a two-bedroom local move at $630–$1,395, while a two-bedroom interstate move from Las Vegas is estimated at $3,000–$7,000. Final price depends on distance, packing services, and date.
When is the busiest moving season in Las Vegas?
Late May through August is the peak window in Las Vegas, with the heaviest volume around month-end weekends. Established companies commonly book out several weeks in advance during this period.
Should I get an in-home estimate or an online quote?
For local moves under 2,500 lb, an online or phone estimate is usually accurate. For interstate moves out of Las Vegas or 3+ bedroom households, request a video survey or in-home estimate so the binding price reflects your actual inventory.
What's the most reliable way to verify a Las Vegas mover?
Check the company's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, look at their BBB profile and current accreditation, and read recent reviews on Google and Yelp. Avoid any mover unwilling to share a USDOT number on request.
How long does a typical Las Vegas move take?
A 1-bedroom local move in Las Vegas usually takes 3–5 hours with two movers. A 3-bedroom local move runs 7–10 hours, and most movers won't book a same-day move past 4 PM start time.
How we evaluate Las Vegas movers: we verify federal registration and operating authority against FMCSA records, record carrier or broker classification, and note state licensing where the state regulator publishes it.
