My wife and I were down in Vegas last week to, among other things, spend some time with our daughter and her family, who currently live on base at Nellis. As we have done several times before, we went down to get a 72-hour pass to be able to come and go without our daughter or her husband having to come "sponsor" us through the gate each time. Utah is one of a small handful of states for which two forms of state or gov't. issued ID are required for such a pass (their website does make this known at all... it was posted on the door of the visitors center). Previously, we had always been able to use our CWP as one of our forms of ID (with drivers license). This time was different.
The claim is that they require a form of photo ID, plus one that proves US citizenship. A Utah DL does not meet that. NEITHER DO THE VAST MAJORITY OF OTHER STATE DRIVER'S LICENSES! Obviously a CWP does not qualify in this case either, and does not typically qualify as a state issued ID.
Anyway, I post this as information (with just a hint of a rant :evil: ) Anyway, if you want to get a pass at Nellis, and you are from Utah, take your passport or birth certificate with you for a second ID.
P.S. After a lot of talking, they finally let us slide this time, and gave us our passes, but I will be better prepared in the future.
