In North Las Vegas Justice Court, a civil or small claims party brings the interpreter
North Las Vegas Justice Court states the rule on its interpreter page: a non-English speaker in a criminal or traffic case is provided a translator, while a party in a civil or small claims case, or a landlord-tenant dispute, should bring one to the clerk's office and to the court appearance, or may not be able to present information to the judge. For court appearances, translators may be obtained from the District Court Interpreter's Office at (702) 455-4279. The Eighth Judicial District Court says it assists people who do not understand or speak English and that its office provides qualified interpreting for virtually any language; its page does not say how to request one or what it costs, so ask the court before the hearing.
What the courts leave to the parties is booked privately: the interpreter for a tenant at a landlord-tenant hearing or for a plaintiff at a small claims trial, and the one for a deposition or a witness interview in a law office. A two-hour small claims hearing in person is $220; with a 30-mile round trip at $0.70 a mile, $241. A three-hour deposition in person is $330, or $351 with the same round trip. By video the three hours are $240, with no travel. See interpreters for small claims court, for housing court and for depositions.
The Las Vegas immigration court is on North City Parkway, and EOIR assigns detention in Henderson and Pahrump to it
EOIR lists the Las Vegas Immigration Court at 110 North City Parkway, Suite 400, open to the public from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Its administrative control list also assigns the Henderson Detention Center and the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump, among other Nevada facilities, to the court. The court provides the interpreter for its hearings, at government expense (ICPM 3.10). EOIR itself warns that parking and public transportation near the court are very limited.
Attorneys book us for what comes before the hearing: settling which language the respondent and each witness actually speak before the interpreter request is filed, preparing witnesses to testify through the court's interpreter, and reading declarations back. With parking and transit as limited as EOIR says, a preparation session by video at $80 an hour, with no travel, is often the simpler booking. See interpreters for immigration court hearings and for immigration detention visits.
One in four Las Vegas residents speaks Spanish at home; Tagalog comes next
The Census counts 623,245 Las Vegas residents aged five and over. Of them, 415,894 speak only English at home and 155,655 speak Spanish. Tagalog (15,478) is next by a wide margin, followed by the catch-all rows "Other Indo-European languages" (8,189) and "Other Asian and Pacific Island languages" (5,815), then Chinese (5,051). Several of the smaller counts carry wide margins of error (ACS C16001).
Spanish, Tagalog, Korean, Arabic, Vietnamese and Chinese, which means Mandarin or Cantonese, are at our standard rate. For a language inside a catch-all row, name the language and its variety in the request: a limited-availability language adds 25–30%, a rare one 75%, and we tell you before you book whether the date can be staffed in person in Las Vegas or only by video. UMC lists face-to-face interpreters for Spanish and telephone and video interpreters for other languages, free of charge, around the clock.

Where interpreters are needed in Las Vegas, and who provides them

Interpreters in cities near Las Vegas
What an interpreter costs, worked out
These are the published rates multiplied out: $80 an hour by video or phone, $110 an hour in person, $0.70 a mile of travel.
| Booking | How it is worked out | Total |
|---|---|---|
| One-hour video or phone call | 1 hour × $80 | $80 |
| Two-hour video interview | 2 hours × $80 | $160 |
| Two-hour meeting in person, 20-mile round trip | 2 hours × $110 + 20 miles × $0.70 | $234 |
| Three-hour deposition or closing in person, 40-mile round trip | 3 hours × $110 + 40 miles × $0.70 | $358 |
| Full day in person (six hours), two interpreters in relay | 2 interpreters × 6 hours × $110 | $1,320 plus travel |
The quote confirms the interpreter, the exact travel figure and the total before you book; nothing is charged until you confirm.
How the travel charge works out
Travel is charged at $0.70 per mile from the interpreter's location, which means you can work it out rather than wait for a quote: a 20-mile round trip is $14, a 60-mile round trip is $42, a 150-mile round trip is $105. There is no separate call-out fee on top.
We will not pretend to know in advance where the interpreter will be coming from — that depends on the language, the date and the venue. What we do is confirm the interpreter and the exact travel figure before you book, so it is never a surprise on the invoice. Virtual assignments carry no travel charge at all, which is one reason most of what we do is virtual.
By video, by phone or in person
Virtual interpreting runs on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or over the telephone. It is quicker to arrange, costs less and carries no travel charge, and it suits appointments, calls and most meetings.
In person is what venues with their own rules tend to expect, and the right choice when documents are being signed or several people are speaking at once. Tell us the platform, or the city and the venue, when you send the request.
How booking an interpreter works
- You send the request with the form below: the language, the setting, the format, the date and how long it should last.
- We confirm before you commit: the interpreter, the exact price and the travel figure if there is one. We reply within minutes, four business hours at most, and no payment is taken at this stage.
- You confirm and pay, and the interpreter is booked for your date. The interpreter's name and credentials are sent to you once the booking is paid.
What to have ready
The more of this comes in the first message, the fewer exchanges before you have a price:
- The language, the date, the start time and how long it should run.
- Virtual or in person: the platform, or the city and the venue.
- The setting and the subject matter.
- How many people need interpreting for.
- Any credential the venue requires of the interpreter. We confirm before you book whether we can staff it; the interpreter's name and credentials follow once the booking is paid.
