HS Brands specializes in Mystery Shopping in Nevada, especially for casino and hospitality properties. Nevada is treated a little differently than all of the other states in the U.S. when it comes to mystery shopping because of its state laws.
It is especially important to hold a Private Investigator’s license in Nevada when providing mystery shopping services because all mystery shoppers need to be legal employees of the Private Investigator. Mystery shopping without a Private Investigator’s license is illegal. Service Sleuth has a Private Investigator’s license in the states of Nevada and Massachusetts.
