FOR OUR 2ND ANNUAL

For Sawyer, who credits Boulevard manager Ric Jimenez for helping secure the space, the Hispanic museum’s new home is all about location. Visitor volume has shot up tremendously. “I meet people not just from Latin America but from all over the world here in this mall,” she says. “Vegas contains a cosmopolitan population as well as many international visitors. That diversity, combined with the concentration of Latin American residents in this area, makes our location ideal.” The museum, which opened its new space in January, is ready to celebrate its 20-year anniversary with a May 12 gala party at Paris Hotel & Casino. “It’s going to be fun to honor the occasion with all our supporters, old and new,” she says. “With their continued backing, the museum can last another 20 years.” Hispanic Museum of Nevada is located in Boulevard Mall at 3680 S. Maryland Pkwy. For a list of upcoming events, to learn more about the gala, or to become a museum member, visit www.hispanicmuseumnv.com.
