How to get where you need to go!

DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS (DAV) 

Hours of operation:
7 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily Monday thru Friday

Call for a DAV Ride:
You can get assistance from our DAV Vans, but you must call SEVEN (7) days in advance of the appointment.  DAV drivers voluneer their time and effort as a convenience to those Veterans that can't afford or unable to drive.  We couldn't do it without them.

Las Vegas Phone: (702) 791-9000, ext 14479
Las Vegas Fax: (702) 631-9980
Pahrump: (702) 303-3629
Mesquite: (702) 345-2811 (c/o Elk's Lodge)


The DAV will need the following information:

  • Name
  • Last four numbers of your social security number
  • Location of clinic, time and date of appointment and Veteran phone number.

The DAV’s main office is located at:
6900 North Pecos Road, North Las Vegas, NV 89086

NOTE 1:  The DAV requires someone to accompany those with memory impairment along with a letter of verification from their provider or Social Worker.

NOTE 2:  If the Veteran can not physically get on the vehicle unassisted, the driver is not authorized to take the Veteran to their appointment.  At this point, we'd recommend the commercial companies (provided on the right panel of this page) that could assistance the Veteran if they meet their specific criteria.
