The route
This sits in the range where carriers differ most. Some run it dedicated with a firm date; others consolidate it with other shipments and quote a window of several days. The price gap between those two is real, so ask which one you are buying.

When you move changes the price
Carriers sell capacity, and capacity is scarce between May and September, at month-ends and on Saturdays. The model prices the base rate; a peak-season date commonly adds 20 to 30 percent on top.
| Home size | October – April, mid-week | Summer weekend (+25%) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | $3,177 – $4,236 | $3,971 – $5,295 |
| 3 bedrooms | $3,654 – $4,871 | $4,568 – $6,089 |
Book ahead: 4 to 6 weeks, 6 to 8 in summer. A flexible date is usually the largest single saving on the move, and the only one that costs nothing.
Rules that apply to this move
Federal, not state. Because the truck crosses from Colorado into Nevada, the move falls under the FMCSA's household-goods rules. The carrier must hold active interstate operating authority (an MC number) alongside its USDOT number, and both must be current on the day of the move.
Written estimate before loading. Binding fixes the price for the listed inventory; non-binding is the carrier's guess and the final bill follows the weighed shipment. The carrier cannot demand more than 110% of a non-binding estimate before releasing your goods at delivery, with the balance billed within 30 days. Ask for binding not-to-exceed by name.
Valuation. Basic released-value protection is included and pays 60 cents per pound per item. Full-value protection costs extra and is the one to buy for 706 miles of handling.
Paperwork you are owed. The federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, a written delivery window, an itemised inventory at pickup, and access to the carrier's arbitration programme for disputes.

Before you book Denver to Las Vegas
Six things to settle before anyone loads a box. They are ordered by how much money each one has cost people who skipped it.
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Insist on a survey
Past the local band the price tracks weight, and weight is not something anyone can eyeball. A quote given without a video or in-home survey can legally be revised upward once the truck is weighed.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 706 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
Pin down the delivery window
Get the spread in writing, along with what happens if they miss it. Carriers owe delay compensation under federal rules, but only if the dates were documented.
Look up the USDOT number
This crosses a state line, so the carrier must hold active interstate authority. Look the USDOT number up on the FMCSA register and confirm the authority and insurance are current before you sign anything.
Refuse a large deposit
Reputable carriers take little or nothing up front and bill on delivery. A demand for a big deposit — especially by wire, cash or a payment app — is the most reliable warning sign in the industry.
Arriving in Las Vegas
A local move inside Las Vegas later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $475 – $775 for a two-bedroom home and $795 – $1,425 for three bedrooms.

Yes. Denver is in Colorado and Las Vegas is in Nevada, so any carrier that moves your household goods must hold active interstate operating authority from the FMCSA, shown as an MC number, as well as a USDOT number. Check both on the FMCSA register. Interstate carriers must also give you a written estimate, the federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, and access to an arbitration programme.
