Every police department is judged by the level and type of crime committed in its community. At the beginning of 2025, I challenged my leadership team and our officers to make substantial reductions in crime. I am proud to report that the men and women of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) delivered on that challenge.
In 2025, violent crime declined by 4.3%, and property crime declined by 9.4%.
I also asked our team to take a whole-ofagency approach to reduce officer-involved shootings. Through more focused training and improved supervision, LVMPD achieved a 58% reduction in officer-involved shootings.
LVMPD’s Homicide Section remains second to none, with consistently a 95% or above solve rate almost every year. Last year, I challenged the agency to reduce the total number of homicides to under 100. When I took office three years ago, we recorded 158 homicides. In 2025, we ended the year with 90 — a 43% decrease. Domestic violence remains one of the leading drivers of homicide, and it will continue to be an area of focus in 2026.
One area where we did not see the same level of success was traffic fatalities. You are more likely to die on our roads driving to and from work than to become the victim of an act of violence. This is not just a Metro issue — it is a community issue. I am working in partnership with the city and county to examine every option to make our roadways safer.
In September 2025, LVMPD launched the LIFE Squad (Lives Improved, Fatalities Eliminated), assigning two officers from each area command to focus on traffic enforcement. Since its launch, the team has helped decrease traffic fatalities by 18%, while citations have increased by 60%. In the coming year, I am requesting additional officers for our Traffic Bureau.
I intend to make LVMPD the most technologically advanced police department in the country. In 2025, we launched a fleet of Cybertrucks and unveiled a new drone operations center featuring drones as first responders. Through private donations, we are leveraging technology to reduce crime and improve officer safety.
In 2026, the department will launch two significant initiatives.
First, LVMPD plans to be among the first law enforcement agencies in the nation to build its own AI-driven system, the K.V.N. Project (Knowledge, Value, and Network). This technology will securely integrate departmental systems, allowing information to flow efficiently and intelligently. This “AI brain” will enhance investigations by linking current crime data - such as modus operandi, suspect descriptions, vehicles, and locations - with historical data. For example, it could identify patterns connecting a recently released offender to a new series of similar crimes.
We will also introduce Project Meridian. We have learned that instability overseas does not remain overseas. Project Meridian will expand our homeland security capabilities by establishing a 24/7 global intelligence and counterterrorism function to protect Southern Nevada. We must be able to identify and prevent threats before they reach our community.
After going two years without a suicide within our department, we are advancing toward a proactive “Wellness 2.0” approach for our employees. This includes early identification of concerns, resiliency training, emotional regulation, and stress management beginning in the academy. Our seven clinicians currently serve more than 450 employees, family members, and retirees each month. My expectation is that every LVMPD employee brings humanity to everything they do. When we treat our officers better than ever before, they will, in turn, serve our community better than ever before.
Thank you for your continued support of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

From the peaceful mountain scenery of Mount Charleston to the elegant desert backdrop of Red Rock Country Club, Chasidy and Christopher’s wedding on February 26, 2026, was a celebration filled with beauty, faith, gratitude, and genuine joy. Surrounded by family and close friends, the couple created a day that reflected not only their love for one another, but also their deep gratitude to God for bringing every detail together in a way they describe as nothing short of a blessing.
The ceremony took place high in Mount Charleston, where towering pines, crisp mountain air, and breathtaking views created a setting that felt intimate and serene. Beneath clear blue skies, guests gathered on a sunlit wooden deck overlooking the mountains as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by nature and the people closest to them. The peaceful atmosphere and dramatic scenery created a perfect balance of elegance and warmth, allowing every moment to feel personal and meaningful.
At the center of the ceremony stood a beautifully designed floral arch draped in flowing white fabric and accented with lush white roses and greenery. The clean and romantic design blended naturally into the mountain setting while adding softness and sophistication to the ceremony space. As worship music played and the bridal party made their entrance, the atmosphere felt emotional, welcoming, and deeply centered on faith.
For Chasidy and Christopher, the day represented more than a wedding celebration. Throughout the planning process, they openly shared how strongly they felt God’s guidance, provision, and blessing over the entire experience. From the support of loved ones to the generosity and kindness shown throughout the process, the couple described the wedding as something they truly viewed as a miracle and an answered prayer.
Their ceremony reflected not only their commitment to one another, but also the central role faith plays in their lives and relationship. From the exchange of vows to the quiet smiles and emotional reactions shared throughout the ceremony, every moment felt genuine and heartfelt. The relaxed mountain setting allowed guests to feel fully connected to the experience, creating an atmosphere that was elegant while still deeply personal.
Chasidy wore a timeless satin gown from Bowties Bridal that perfectly complemented the romantic mountain setting. Featuring elegant structure, soft flowing lines, and a graceful train, the dress combined classic bridal style with modern sophistication. Her bridal look was completed with a flowing veil and refined styling that felt effortless and elegant throughout the day.
Julie at LeiV Agency created a soft and radiant makeup look that highlighted the bride’s
natural beauty while maintaining a polished and timeless appearance from beginning to end. The styling photographed beautifully in both the mountain setting and later during the evening reception, carrying a fresh and elegant look throughout the celebration.
Christopher complemented the occasion in a sharp black tuxedo that added a classic and refined touch to the ceremony. Standing together against the backdrop of Mount Charleston, the couple created striking portraits that perfectly captured the elegance and emotion of the day. Their connection and comfort with one another were evident in every interaction, making even the quiet candid moments feel meaningful and authentic.
The floral arrangements designed by Anne of ACS Florals played a major role in transforming both the ceremony and reception spaces into something truly memorable. White roses, delicate greenery, and thoughtfully arranged floral accents added elegance without overpowering the natural beauty of the surroundings. From the bridal bouquet and ceremony arch to the reception details later in the evening, every arrangement was carefully designed to complement the atmosphere of the celebration.
Throughout the day, Dani Izzo and the Izzo Pro team documented every meaningful moment with an artistic and natural approach to
photography. From emotional candid reactions to elegant portraits and scenic sunset photography, each image captured the energy and emotion of the celebration beautifully. Quiet moments before the ceremony, the couple’s first kiss, joyful interactions between family and friends, and dramatic portraits against both mountain and desert landscapes were preserved in a way that felt timeless and authentic.
The photography throughout the event reflected the emotion of the day without feeling overly staged, allowing the personalities of the couple and their families to shine naturally. The contrast between Mount Charleston’s towering pines and the dramatic desert elegance of Red Rock Country Club created a visually stunning collection of images that felt uniquely Las Vegas while still remaining deeply personal to the couple.
Following the ceremony in Mount Charleston, the celebration transitioned to Red Rock Country Club for an elegant evening reception. Surrounded by sweeping desert views and the glow of the setting sun against the mountains, guests were welcomed into a sophisticated atmosphere filled with warmth, excitement, and celebration.
Red Rock Country Club provided the perfect setting for the evening, combining refined elegance with exceptional hospitality and breathtaking scenery. The reception space carried a romantic atmosphere while still feeling relaxed and inviting, allowing guests to fully enjoy the evening together. Music, laughter, heartfelt conversation, and joyful celebration filled the venue as family and friends gathered to celebrate the newly married couple.
Guests enjoyed gourmet cuisine presented with thoughtful detail and elegant presentation, creating a dining experience that matched the elevated atmosphere of the wedding itself. As the evening continued, emotional speeches, heartfelt toasts, and joyful moments on the dance floor brought everyone together in celebration of Chasidy and Christopher’s new chapter together.
One of the standout details of the evening was the beautiful wedding cake created by Rolling in Dough. Designed with elegance and craftsmanship, the cake served as both a centerpiece and a memorable part of the reception. Its sophisticated presentation complemented the overall aesthetic of the wedding while adding another thoughtful detail to an already stunning celebration.
What made the wedding especially meaningful was the care, generosity, and professionalism shown by every vendor involved. ACS Florals, Rolling in Dough, LeiV Agency, Izzo Pro, Bowties Bridal, and Red Rock Country Club each played an important role in bringing the couple’s vision to life. The couple repeatedly expressed gratitude not only for the talent each vendor provided, but also for the kindness and support they experienced throughout the process. To Chasidy and Christopher, the entire experience felt like a reflection of

God’s faithfulness and provision through the people who surrounded them.
The day reflected a balance of elegance, authenticity, and faith that made the celebration feel truly special. Rather than focusing on trends or excessive formality, the wedding remained centered on love, family, gratitude, and the importance of sharing meaningful moments together. Guests experienced not only the beauty of two incredible Southern Nevada locations, but also the warmth and sincerity that surrounded the couple throughout the entire celebration.
As the evening came to a close beneath the Red Rock sky, the celebration ended the same way it began, filled with gratitude, joy, and love. From the peaceful mountain ceremony at Mount Charleston to the elegant reception at Red Rock Country Club, Chasidy and Christopher created a wedding experience that guests will remember for years to come.
Elegant without feeling overwhelming and emotional without becoming excessive, the wedding captured what makes a celebration truly unforgettable: meaningful moments, genuine connection, breathtaking scenery, unwavering faith, and the joy of sharing it all with the people who matter most.
George Harris is the guy saying what a lot of us are already thinking:
Don’t gamble on another failed legislative session.
He believes the smart bet for our neighborhoods is simple—real leadership, real experience, and real accountability.
George isn’t a politician.
He’s a businessman who understands budgets, results, and responsibility—because he’s lived it.
He’s a U.S. Army veteran who served our country and is ready to serve again.
He’s a devoted family man who understands what matters most—because he’s one of us. And he’s running to bring something Carson City desperately needs:
ADULT SUPERVISION.
With decades of business leadership and deep roots in the community, George Harris brings common sense, real-world experience, and a no-nonsense approach to solving problems.
He’s built companies, created jobs, and helped countless Nevadans succeed. Now he’s stepping up to fight for taxpayers, protect families, and restore accountability in government.
HIS AGENDA
Protect Girls’ Sports
George Harris is clear: Biological boys competing in girls’ sports isn’t just controversial—it’s wrong. It’s unfair to our daughters and granddaughters, and it undermines decades of progress for women. His promise is simple: He will protect girls’ sports. Because fairness isn’t political—it’s common sense.
George believes the future of Nevada starts with our kids—not bureaucracy. “No matter what challenges we face, we always find a way through—and we always will. Our kids are our future, and they deserve better.”
He supports school choice because every child—no matter their zip code—deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. If we get this right, our kids won’t just succeed… they’ll lead the next great chapter of America.
Public safety isn’t optional—it’s essential.
George Harris will fight to ensure law enforcement has the funding and independence it needs to do the job right.
That means:
• Ending political games with police budgets
• Supporting more officers in our neighborhoods
• Making safety a top priority again Because safe communities don’t happen by accident—they require leadership.
Right now, Nevada is too dependent on outside forces for fuel—and we’re paying the price.
George Harris is working on a long-term solution:
A new fuel pipeline—a “straw”—bringing supply directly into Nevada from the north. It’s not a quick fix. It’s a real solution. While politicians kick the can down the road, George is focused on solving the problem— even if it takes time.
“Big problems need real solutions—and people willing to take them on.” His plan is about one thing:
Lowering fuel costs and protecting Nevada families.
George Harris isn’t running to play politics. He’s running to fix what’s broken.
To bring accountability back.
To protect families.
To stand up for taxpayers.
And most importantly— to bring adult supervision back to Carson City.

Introducing Chill Bar and Grill: a restaurant that boasts a complete menu inspired by dishes from southern Italy with a Mediterranean twist.
They are best known for taking wellknown favorites and elevating them to a level well beyond the norm. This includes items such as their fresh specialty pizzas prepared to perfection in their brick pizza oven. There’s the 10”, 12” Neopolitana, 14” and 12” gluten-free options. Choices include Pizza Margarita (Passata tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil leaf, and olive oil), Pizza Prosciutto (Passata tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, burrata, prosciutto, and basil leaf), Pizza Pepperoni, Pizza Fig & Balsamic (Fresh ricotta cheese, caramelized onion, figs, and gorgonzola), Pizza Supreme (Mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, onion, bell pepper and black olives), Pizza Diavoletta (Passata tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, hot capicola ham, basil leaf, and chili oil), Pizza Meat Lovers (Passata tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage,

The restaurant serves Italian and Mediterranean dishes, as well as American favorites such as their six-piece bone-in chicken buffalo wings. Chill Bar and Grill also offers specialty menu items, which include house-cut French fries tossed in truffle garlic sauce with sautéed mushrooms and a parmesan crisp. Those are only a couple of the appetizers that they offer!
Other menu items include gourmet pastas (Paccheri Boscaiola, Gnocchi Al Gorgonzola with chicken or shrimp, Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken or shrimp, and Penne Alla Bolognese), sandwiches (Bison Burger, Panino Al Pollo Sandwich, and Prosciutto Sandwich), salads (Greco Salad, gluten-free Popeye Spinach Salad, Caprese and Caesar salad), seafood (Shrimp skewers, Fried Shrimp, Salmon, and Calamari served with aioli sauce), and gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options as well.

Conceived by the great culinary mind of Giancarlo Bomparola, owner/operator of the popular Las Vegas Italian restaurant Siena Italian Authentic Trattoria, Chill Bar and Grill provides a casual-dress atmosphere where diners can enjoy a relaxing ambience, hence the name. When asked what inspired Giancarlo to open Chill Bar and Grill, his response was simple; he was looking to embark on a new culinary “adventure.” Located at 7905 W. Sahara Avenue, Suite 102-103, Chill Bar and Grill also hosts live performances every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. They also host a happy hour menu twice a day, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM with a reverse happy hour starting at 9:00 PM and lasting until closing. The restaurant is also available for events and all-day buyouts, so they are well-equipped to service all your leisure or corporate needs. MV

Since a young age, John Holland, Executive Chef and Owner of Rollin Smoke Barbeque, knew that cooking was in his bones. Growing up, John would ask his mother to prepare the Thanksgiving desserts, and even grilled for his friends and co-workers after long days in the Arkansas oil fields.
At only 24 years old, John decided to pursue his culinary dream and move to Las Vegas to attend La Cordon Bleu.
John soon realized that not a single BBQ restaurant around the valley resembled the true Southern roots of home. He decided it was time to take his mobile smoker/grill to the side of Russell Road, in a hardware store parking lot with his dad and brother to put the true taste of the South in everyone’s mouth. The first day, the team sold 3 sandwiches. The second day, they sold 7 and continued to grow their business, deciding to open their first brick and mortar location in 2012. Shortly after, Rick Harrison and his father became regulars at the restaurant, eventually offering them a partnership in the plaza next to Gold and Silver Pawn Shop.
John had no idea that his once small mobile smoker/grill would grow to this extent, and continuously expand. Winning numerous BBQ competitions, receiving national recognition in the top 16 Hottest New Barbeque restaurants, recognition as Top 20 best Barbeque restaurants in the country, being featured on channels like Food Network, Discovery Channel, and many more are just a few of Rollin Smoke’s accomplishments over the years.
The moment you walk through the door of any of their three Las Vegas locations, you are met with genuine Southern hospitality. The meats are smoked with Hickory wood and prepared with the “low and slow” process, and you can taste the love and effort put into the mouthwatering meats at Rollin Smoke. Some of the most famous dishes at the restaurant include the Fried Catfish, Beef Ribs, and Smoked Meatloaf. The diverse menu and homemade sauces cover a range of palates, especially the BBQ craving ones.
Serving delectable barbeque is not the only astounding act that John and his team bring to the Vegas community. At the Highland location, they have a special menu where a
The moment you walk through the door, you are met with genuine Southern hospitality.
portion of the proceeds go to “Critical Care Comics,” an incredible group that dresses up as comic book characters and reads to sick children. They also enjoy participating in Pigs for Kids charity cook-off and the Best Dam BBQ in Boulder City. They donate to a plethora of organizations throughout the city and continue to look for more opportunities to give back.
In the next ten years, there are exciting plans of expansion to bring their BBQ and southern love all over the United States. They also offer sauces and rubs on the website, as well as catering services for 10 to 10,000 people. Stay tuned as they continue to keep Rollin’! MV

When you meet Tricia Evans the visionary behind The Pretty Kitty, one of the West Coast’s most recognizable waxing brands—you don’t just meet a business owner. You meet a force. A creator. A woman who took a small-town dream and turned it into an 11-location, industrydefining beauty empire stretching from Southern California to the bright pulse of Las Vegas. But her story doesn’t begin with glittering lights and luxury studios. It begins in a tiny Iowa town, where her dreams were always larger than the horizon.
Growing up in rural Iowa, she learned early that ambition isn’t about where you start, it’s about how boldly you move. After high school, she left her hometown for Minneapolis to attend fashion school, hungry for a future built on creativity and style. But life had even bigger plans.
Unsure of what direction to take next, she made a choice most wouldn’t expect from a budding fashion grad: She joined the United States Navy.
While serving as a Plane Captain, she launched and recovered F-14 fighter jets—a role that demands precision, courage, and leadership under pressure. It was thousands of miles from the runways of fashion, yet it is where she discovered something essential: she wasn’t afraid of challenges.
The Navy also provided the next stepping stone: she used her G.I. Bill to pursue aesthetics school, a path that would ultimately reshape the waxing industry.
In 2006, long before “specialty waxing boutiques” existed as a trend, she opened something bold, fresh, and new. The first waxing-only concept of its kind. Up until then, waxing had mostly been hidden away in day spas, treated like an afterthought.
She wanted to bring it front and center. She wanted to build a brand that was loud. Fun. Flirty. Elevated. And unforgettable.
Thus, The Pretty Kitty was born. A name impossible to ignore and even harder to forget. It was cheeky, classy, and uniquely feminine: the perfect combination to spark curiosity and define a new lane of luxury waxing.
Today, The Pretty Kitty stands proudly in 11 locations across Southern California and Las Vegas, earning a reputation as the gold standard in waxing. Their training program, signature technique, and unwavering commitment to comfort and consistency have made the brand a favorite among influencers, locals, and visitors alike.
But Tricia is not one to stop evolving. Never has been.
The Pretty Kitty is now stepping confidently into the next chapter, introducing custom airbrush tanning and laser hair removal in select locations. The expansion isn’t just growth; it’s strategy. It reflects a brand that refuses to settle, always elevating, always responding to what modern beauty clients want most: luxury, consistency, and results
From a small Iowa town…
To the flight line in the US Navy
To the helm of a brand that helped transform an entire industry…
Tricia is living proof that reinvention is power, and that audacious dreams can become even more audacious realities.
In Las Vegas—a city that celebrates boldness, beauty, and reinvention—The Pretty Kitty fits right in. MV

The aesthetic industry is evolving, and today’s patients are no longer looking for extremes. They want precision, safety, and results that fit seamlessly into their lives. In a city known for cosmetic surgery, standing out requires more than technical ability. It requires judgment, experience, and a deeper understanding of the human body.
That is where Dr. Mustafa Ahmed has distinguished himself.
At Las Vegas Body Sculpting, Dr. Ahmed brings a unique foundation that very few aesthetic surgeons possess. With triple board certification in internal medicine, general surgery, and surgical critical care,
his approach goes far beyond surface-level aesthetics. Every procedure is guided by a comprehensive understanding of anatomy, healing, and risk management, allowing patients to feel confident not only in their results, but also in their safety.
This depth of training translates into a level of precision and customization that defines his practice. Patients are not given standard recommendations. They receive tailored treatment plans built around their bodies, goals, and timelines. Whether it is body contouring, breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, or post-weight-loss transformation, the focus remains the same: natural, balanced, and lasting results.
What also sets Dr. Ahmed apart is his ability to seamlessly integrate surgical and non-surgical treatments. Today’s most refined outcomes often come from combination approaches, where subtle surgical enhancements are complemented by advanced technologies to enhance contour, tighten skin, and improve overall harmony. This allows patients to achieve meaningful results while avoiding the “overdone” look that has become increasingly undesirable.
Modern patients are not asking to look different. They are asking to look better, refreshed, and more confident. Dr. Ahmed’s philosophy aligns with that shift. His work emphasizes proportion, restraint, and detail, where small refinements often create the most impactful transformations.
Beyond results, accessibility and continuity of care play a major role in the patient experience at Las Vegas Body Sculpting. By offering a full spectrum of treatments in one setting, patients are able to evolve their aesthetic journey over time, whether they are starting with non-surgical options or enhancing surgical outcomes with maintenance treatments.
Being recognized among MyVegas Magazine’s Top 10 is not simply about volume or visibility. It reflects consistency, trust, and the ability to deliver results in a rapidly evolving field.
Dr. Mustafa Ahmed continues to set that standard, combining surgical expertise, aesthetic judgment, and a patient-first philosophy to redefine modern cosmetic care in Las Vegas. MV

When patients begin the search for the very best in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Myint’s name consistently rises to the top. Spoken with admiration throughout Las Vegas and Beverly Hills, Dr. Myint’s prestige draws patients from across the country and beyond to visit his beautifully curated office in Las Vegas and Beverly Hills. Widely regarded as an innovator in Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Myint has earned a reputation as the “wizard” of facial balance. One of only a small number of fellowship-trained Oculofacial Plastic Surgeons worldwide, he represents the gold standard of leadership, artistry, and forwardthinking medicine.
Board-certified and fellowship trained Dr. Myint specializes in restoring beauty,
balance and function to the eyes and face, working with remarkable precision in an area where millimeters matter. Patients fly to see Dr Myint for revisions from other surgeons, deep plane face and neck lifts, deep plane eyelid lifts, brow balancing, microfat and nanofat transfers, and his regenerative therapies for optimizing healing. At the heart of every procedure is his unwavering commitment to harmony and creating results that feel natural, refreshed, and uniquely tailored to each patient.
While Dr. Myint has long been known for achieving elegant surgical outcomes, his focus is increasingly set on the future of medicine and plastic surgery. Dr. Myint is a faculty member of the San Diego Arts Of Regenerative Therapy (SDARTS) where some of the greatest minds from around the world meet to discuss the future of regenerative therapy. He is helping lead the specialty into a new era centered on cellular restoration and cellular reset, an evolution that is redefining how aging itself is approached.
he says. These advancements, he believes, will continue to move the industry toward treatments that achieve longevity, beauty and a more natural outcome.
Dr. Myint’s influence extends far beyond the operating room. With decades of experience teaching other students and doctors from around the world, he has authored numerous medical publications—including multiple textbooks on oculofacial plastic surgery—his work serves as a trusted resource for surgeons around the globe. “My hope is to leave behind a movement in the longevity/Regenerative space using cellular reset.”
“The future in plastic surgery is very exciting,” he explains. “There’s a shift in medicine towards biologic signaling to change a cells behavior to treat diseases and healing. By mining these regenerative modalities, we can reset your cells to a healthier version.”
This vision has already taken shape in his practice utilizing cutting edge biologics to support both aesthetic regeneration and overall wellness for his patients.
More than a trend, regenerative medicine represents a philosophical shift. Where traditional plastic surgery often focuses on structural change, cellular therapies aim to restore vitality from within, while improving skin quality, enhancing healing, and promoting long-term longevity.
“I think it will pave the way for more innovative technology in the field of cellular beauty, using fat, stem cells, mitochondria, Exosomes and more,”
Yet for all his innovation and academic achievement, what patients remember most is how he makes them feel. Dr. Myint is deeply committed to creating an experience that is as reassuring as it is transformative. One where patients feel seen, understood, and confident every step of the way.
In a field defined by constant advancement, Dr. Myint stands comfortably at the intersection of science and artistry, always looking ahead. Spend just a few minutes in his presence, and it becomes clear: patients aren’t simply meeting a surgeon, they’re encountering a visionary whose intuition, skill, and imagination continues to elevate what is possible. Dr. Shoib Myint proves that his magic is not only real—it is only growing stronger.
To learn more about Dr. Myint and his practice, join him and his team in March for a limited one-night informative educational seminar at his beautiful office in Las Vegas. Please call the office for details. MV

What is a deep plane lower facelift, and is it better than a traditional SMAS lower facelift?
Deep plane facelifts (DPFLs) have existed in the surgical textbooks for over 30 years.
DPFLs are also known as a “composite lifts”, where both the skin and muscle are lifted as one unit versus those two layers being lifted individually as it is in a SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) Lift.
DPFLs have just recently been revisited by the surgical community as a possible better solution to the traditional, SMAS lower face and neck lift. Historically, studies from decades ago that compared the two methods demonstrated that the results were nearly equivalent in most cases, with potentially slightly more improvement in the lower cheeks and nasolabial folds (a.k.a. Smile Lines) with a deep plane facelift approach. It is note worthy that many studies recognized that the patient’s anatomy and the experience of the surgeon was more important than the technique in regards to the overall result.
It is critical to appreciate that DPFLs ONLY applies to the lower face/jawline and portions of the midface (cheeks and nasolabial folds), and NOT to the neck itself nor the tissue under the jawbone. The vast majority of plastic surgeons would agree on fact that there is no such procedure named a “deep plane necklift”.
Why the resurgence in Deep Plane Facelifting?
As is commonplace in today’s world of the internet and social media, DPFLs have gained some popularity driven largely by a small group of physicians in major metropolitan markets, such as NYC and Southern California. It is inappropriate to call it a “resurgence” or “revival”, as the technique was never popular nor commonly performed at any point in time since described over 30 years ago in the textbooks.
In my opinion, the primary reason for the current hype is mainly financial. Plastic surgeons will charge at least double, and often triple, the amount they charge for a time-tested SMAS lower facelift with necklift (>$100,000 in some markets!). This simple fact makes it unaffordable for most patients, therefore making it exclusively accessible to the ultra-wealthy. Whether the results of a DPFL are even better is debatable.
What are the risks to the DPFL?
Since DPFLs are more aggressive and invasive in nature, the risk of permanent motor nerve injury is unequivocally higher than in a safer SMAS Lift. This type of nerve injury can present as either temporary, or possibly permanent, malfunction of one’s facial muscles (similar to as one would appear after a cerebral stroke).
Also notable is that since the deeper tissues of the face are disrupted, the recovery from a DPFL can be up to 50% more than a SMAS Lift.
Additionally, since the muscle and skin are moved together in a DPFL, there is less ability to tailor a result for the patient. In contrast, a SMAS Lift provides targeted treatment to both muscle and skin and individually, allowing for better customization.
Finally, the majority (>95%) of DPFLs in the U.S. are performed under general anesthesia since they usually take 4-6 hours to complete. Obviously general anesthesia presents with it’s own set of risks (pulmonary and cardiovascular issues, allergic reactions, and post-operative nausea and vomiting etc.).
Why can Deep Plane Facelifting be seen as “Irresponsible”?
Currently, my personal fear is that the majority of plastic surgeons in our country have never performed a DPFL, or at best have not performed one the last decade or more.
Unfortunately many patients are now going to be potentially exposed to surgeons performing riskier surgeries all for the sake of chasing “what’s hot” on social media, while charging the patient 2-3x the amount of money. I believe that most of my colleagues probably would provide a better result by just improving and mastering their personal current technique.
In my opinion, the higher complication rate, longer recovery, and less accessibility (from an economic standpoint) is a recipe for a procedure that will not gain popularity or become the new standard of facelifting.
As a final intriguing point, it is quite ironic that the incision placement on the face and around the ears for a DPFL and SMAS Lift are exactly the same. Thus the patient, nor any surgeon for that matter, cannot tell which technique was exactly performed “under the hood” during surgery.
So will Deep Plane Facelifting stand the test of time?
Classic SMAS Lifts have been the “gold standard” of lower facelifting for multiple decades. They are effective, safe, reasonably affordable, and have a undeniable track record. I’m quite confident that in just a few years DPFLs will join the long and evergrowing list of “once hot” facial procedures that enjoyed a few moments of fame and hype, but fail the test of time. For reference, a few relevant surgical fads in the past decade include buccal fat removal, thread lifting, surgical “lip lifting”, and under eye filler for hollows to name a few.
In the interim, patients will need to decide if they wish to pay 2 to 3 times more for procedure that may yield slightly better results, has a much higher risk profile with longer recovery, and that most patients cannot afford in the first place.

While GLP-1 medications have helped many people lose significant weight, it often brings new concerns of loose skin, shape changes, and problem areas that may not reflect positive journey they’ve been on.
That is where cosmetic surgery often becomes part of the conversation.
Procedures such as a tummy tuck, face lift, arm lift, thigh lift, body lift, breast lift, or a combination of surgeries can help address the physical changes left after major weight loss.
And the key question is not simply, “What can be done?”.
It is what should be done, when it should be done, and how it should be planned.
Cosmetic surgery after major weight loss is rarely a one-size-fits-all decision.
Some patients need one focused procedure. Others may benefit from a staged plan that addresses multiple areas over time. The key is knowing what to do first,
so each procedure supports the next and scars are placed where they make sense for the next procedure and the future final result.
The right plan depends on your body, your goals, your healing, and what will create the most natural, lasting result.
This is where judgment matters most.
After GLP-1–related weight loss, weight stability, nutritional health, and the quality of the skin and tissue all factor into when surgery makes sense.
Moving forward before weight has stabilized can affect how well results hold up over time. Experience Still Matters
With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Samir Pancholi has guided patients through every era of weight loss: diet-based, surgical, and now medication-assisted.
That perspective matters when trends move faster than biology.
Knowing when to move forward, what to prioritize, and how to plan surgery can shape whether the result feels temporary or truly completes what you’ve started.
At Pancholi Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, cosmetic surgery after GLP-1 weight loss begins with a conversation about your body, your timing, and your goals.

They work tirelessly to ensure the health and wellness of the people of Las Vegas, continually putting the needs of the community before their own and serving only the best care to their patients.
This marks my fifth MyVegas Magazine cover, and each one has told a different chapter of the same story, a lifelong commitment to advocating for youth within the juvenile justice system and working to prevent children from entering or reenter it in the first place. The youth sitting beside me in the photo where I’m holding my book, Jumpsuit Shackle, represents thousands more whose stories often go unheard.
For nearly three decades, I have stood beside youth involved in the system and those standing at the edge of it. These are children who are marginalized, misunderstood, and too often defined by their worst moment instead of their greatest potential. I have attended funerals, watched lives unravel, and have been there through the most horrific tragedies, moments that drive me to give everything.
In the Las Vegas Valley, there are approximately 200 open missing juvenile cases. Across Nevada, more than 8,000 children are reported missing each year. Youth with
prior system involvement face significantly higher risks of running away, exploitation, and trafficking.
Research published in the Journal of Criminology & Public Policy has found that incarceration significantly increases a young person’s likelihood of dropping out of high school. Education disruption and trauma compound the challenges these youth already face, resulting in more than half of justice-involved youth who never complete high school.
Each January, Juvenile Justice Impact hosts its Annual Human Trafficking Awareness Forum, uniting law enforcement, educators, parents, and youth to confront difficult realities. Year-round, we offer workshops on prevention, leadership, and opportunity, while creating exposure to new paths through experiences like STEM-focused on our visit to Creech Air Force Base.
On January 26, 2024, Mayor Carolyn Goodman proclaimed Dr. Susan Feneck Day and Juvenile Justice Impact Day in the City
of Las Vegas. On January 24, 2025, Mayor Shelley Berkley proclaimed Juvenile Justice Impact Day once again. These honors belong to a strong community network whose support sustains our work.
I am deeply grateful for the unwavering commitment of our Board of Directors, who has remained intact since 2019. Longevity signals trust, alignment, and shared purpose. I could not do this without them, nor without a community willing to stand beside our youth.
Today, we serve over 1,000 children and their families annually. All proceeds connected to our work support community outreach, educational workshops, prevention programs, awareness initiatives, and collaborative partnerships designed to protect and empower youth.
This cover is a continuation of a promise to see the children others overlook and to refuse to give up on the lives entrusted to our community.

1. Your Egoscue therapist captures images of your body using advanced e-pete software, highlighting the imbalances causing your pain.
2. A thorough assessment of your posture, gait, and movement patterns helps pinpoint the root cause.
3. You’ll receive a tailored set of exercises to realign your body, alleviate pain, and restore proper function.
“When I first started at Egoscue I was recently diagnosed with 2 herniated discs in lower back. I was in a ton of pain, and I had shooting burning sensation down my right leg. The pain was every day and constant. Amber taught me to stick with the program and I would get better. In fact, she said I would be able to get back to what I enjoyed doing which was to golf and workout. Each week I was getting better and better. We are three months from my start, and I am working out 3 times of week, and I have been back to golfing! Amazing! I have learned so much during this process but most importantly was that you can get back to your normal physical activity and you don’t have to restrict yourself. Once I learned how to get my body back into alignment everything started to improve. I am grateful for Egoscue and very grateful to have such a wonderful instructor in Amber.”

At AVIVA Dental Implant Center, we believe that a beautiful smile can change lives. Located in the heart of Henderson, our state-of-the-art practice specializes in smile makeovers using dental implants and aesthetic treatments. With our advanced technology and in-house lab, we deliver predictable and efficient results, restoring confidence and enhancing the lives of our patients.
Our primary focus is on full-mouth restorations and dental implants, which are more than just procedures—they are life-changing experiences. Dental implants not only replace missing teeth but also help in maintaining jawbone structure, improving oral health, and restoring the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At AVIVA, we use the latest CAD-CAM technology, which allows us to design and manufacture dental restorations with precision and efficiency. Our in-house lab plays a crucial role in this process, enabling us to maintain high standards of quality control and reduce turnaround times. This means fewer appointments and quicker results for our patients.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits beyond aesthetics. They help prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and provide a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth. Unlike dentures, implants are permanent and do not slip or require adhesives. This stability not only improves functionality but also significantly enhances overall oral health. If a patient is not a candidate for dental implants, we offer alternative treatment plans such as aesthetic veneers and crowns.
One of the most remarkable aspects of our treatment is that on the day of surgery, patients can walk out of the office with a brand
new set of teeth. Thanks to our cutting-edge technology, Dr. Anna’s extensive experience—having placed over 10,000 implants and restored thousands of smiles—and our in-house lab with a master ceramist, we make it possible for patients to leave with new teeth on the same day as their surgery. We take pride in the thousands of smiles we’ve restored. Patients often share how their new smiles have boosted their confidence, improved their social interactions, and even opened up new opportunities in their careers.
From the initial consultation to the final delivery of a beautiful smile, we’re there for you. When patients walk into our office, they don’t feel like they’re in a typical dental office. We perform procedures under moderate sedation, ensuring patients are comfortable. Additionally, we use LED light therapy to minimize post-operative pain.
At AVIVA Dental Implant Center, we are committed to providing exceptional care with a personal touch. Our team of experienced professionals is here to guide you through every step of your smile makeover journey. We offer very competitive fees and provide a selection of premium quality materials imported from Germany.
If you’re considering dental implants or a full-mouth restoration, we invite you to experience the AVIVA difference. Contact us today at 1-800-256-1517 to schedule a consultation. Let us help you achieve the smile of your dreams and enjoy the countless benefits it brings. MV
For many women, the transition through menopause isn’t just about hot flashes and hormone shifts—it’s about navigating a complete transformation in how they feel in their bodies. Symptoms can include mood swings, weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, decreases in energy and muscle mass as well as health concerns like heart disease, brittle bones, and an increase in urinary tract infections. Yet, in traditional care settings, they’re often rushed, dismissed, or offered little more than a pamphlet and a prescription to cover up the symptoms or given synthetic hormones.
At Vital Infusions & Performance, Las Vegas-based APRN Mickey Guerrero is doing something different.
“We treat menopause as a full-body experience,” Guerrero says. “Hormones affect your mood, metabolism, sleep, cognition, and sexual wellness. If we ignore that, we’re doing women a disservice.”
Her clinic specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, designed to restore natural levels of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. But this isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each protocol is uniquely crafted based on advanced lab work, symptom tracking, and patient goals. The result? Clients report better energy, deeper sleep, improved focus, and a renewed sense of self.
And now, Vital Infusions & Performance is taking menopause care even further. Mickey is combining her holistic integrative approach—and a major investment in cutting-edge energy based technology.
As one of only three providers in Las Vegas offering the revolutionary InMode EmpowerRF platform, the only FDA-cleared platform that combines electrical muscle stimulation, radiofrequency energy, and microneedling for comprehensive women’s wellness. Guerrero is bringing cutting-edge technology to a long-overlooked area of women’s health. EmpowerRF is designed to address intimate health challenges that are often under-discussed but deeply impactful—from urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness to vaginal laxity and
discomfort. Traditional pelvic floor rehab can require months of appointments and home exercises, often with limited access or long wait times to see specialists. EmpowerRF offers a faster, non-surgical, and more comfortable alternative—right in the clinic setting.
“The EmpowerRF system is a game-changer,” says Guerrero. “We’re seeing patients who’ve lived with these symptoms for years because they didn’t think there were options. Women no longer have to choose between invasive procedures and suffering in silence. These treatments are gentle, effective, and tailored for real-life recovery.”
Combined with hormone support, IV therapy, and a suite of skin/body treatments, Vital Infusions & Performance offers a deeply personalized path to true, whole-person wellness.
“It’s not just about treating symptoms,” Guerrero adds. “It’s about helping women feel at home in their bodies again. When women feel strong, balanced, and confident, everything in life improves.” MV

As the largest and only non-profit hospice in Southern Nevada, we are often asked questions about what hospice is and how it can help someone at the end of life.
It’s important to understand that hospice is not a place, but rather a philosophy, that focuses on the well-being of the whole person. It is a journey of care for a patient. When a prognosis of a life-limiting illness is six months or less, it is time to consider hospice.
Have you or your loved one spent more time in and out of the hospital, than at home? Are you or your loved one struggling with getting out of bed and getting dressed daily because you are physically not able? Have you have considered looking into hospice care for support? If so, you are not alone. Understandably, people find this period stressful and unfamiliar with the new responsibilities. As overwhelming as it may seem, choosing hospice will be a wise choice. As your trusted partner on the journey of care, we bring compassion and hands-on support in the patients home during difficult days ahead.
We have been recognized by Modern Healthcare as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in the country nine times in the last decade. We value our colleagues, and that allows them to provide the highest standard of care to our community.
We are recognized as a national leader in hospice and palliative care, and have helped more than 80,000 patients since we opened our doors over forty years ago. It is our privilege to be part of our city’s rich history and to continue to care for all who need it.
Our clinical staff offers support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our inter-disciplinary
teams provide care wherever someone calls home — private residences, assisted living centers, and nursing homes. We have two inpatient locations in the Las Vegas Valley –our 20-bed Swenson facility and our 18-bed Tenaya facility.
We raise funds to provide care to uninsured and underinsured members of our community and support needed programs and services such as meal delivery, complementary therapies, transportation, and families in need.
Nathan Adelson Hospice partners with patients and families to bring relief, comfort and dignity. Our vision is that no one should end the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain. MV

Did you know that according to some national polls, The State of Nevada is ranked 50th in the nation when it comes to mental health services?
Dr. Faisal Suba and Dr. Daniel Park, two of the founding members of Alliance Mental Health Specialists, envisioned changing this statistic when they were in their Psychiatric Residency program through the University of Nevada-School of Medicine. They often talked about opening a small practice together when they graduated, but neither of them ever imagined that their practice would grow to the size that it is today.
“We saw a need and wanted to be part of the solution,” said Dr. Suba. “We would constantly hear how long it was taking for patients to get in to see a psychiatrist. We hoped by opening a large practice, we would be
able to help some of these patients find consistent and compassionate care.” Founded in 2016, Alliance Mental Health Specialists has grown from 3 psychiatrists in Las Vegas, to 29 Psychiatric providers with an office in Las Vegas and Reno. Their highly qualified team consists of Psychiatrists, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants.
In addition to outpatient care, Alliance Mental Health Specialists also provide services at inpatient psychiatric hospitals, Skilled Nursing Facilities, as well as psychiatric consult services at medical hospitals in Nevada. Dr. Park says, “By having a presence at various different levels of care, we are able to provide continuity of care.”
Both Dr. Suba and Dr. Park are thankful for the ability to serve their patients’ needs but they also believe that helping to educate future psychiatrists, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician Assistants is extremely important in order to continue to further improve access to quality mental health care in Nevada. In addition to seeing patients, a substantial amount of their time is spent mentoring, lecturing, and rounding with students.
“Being trusted with the development of a young mental health professional is an honor and a privilege that we don’t take lightly,” says Dr. Suba. “Teaching students ensures that we keep our knowledge up to date. It’s also fulfilling knowing that these students will take what they learn from us and be able to help a countless number of people in the years to come. In Arabic, it is known as ‘Sadaqa Jaariah,’ which is a good act that is continuous even after you pass.”
“For me, Alliance is not just a business, it’s a family,” says Dr. Park. “We have known most of our providers since they were students or fellow residents. This familiarity and comfort level facilitates a supportive work environment.”
Dr. Suba and Dr. Park, along with their Partner, Dr. Ying-Chia Cheng, have worked tirelessly to provide high quality psychiatric care using evidence-based medicine. Through their efforts, they have earned the respect of patients, therapists, Doctors, and the community of Las Vegas. MV

Let’s talk about a health topic that’s often overlooked but shouldn’t be— your backside.
Colonoscopies may get all the hype, but they’re only half the story when it comes to rear-end wellness. Anal cancer, a rising yet preventable disease, is rarely discussed, yet early detection can make all the difference. While it’s not exactly a dinner table topic, it’s time to start talking. Dr. Alireza Farabi is determined to lead the charge in Las Vegas to increase awareness, screenings, and—most importantly—save lives. Or really… Save Your Butt!
Dr. Alireza Farabi is a double board-certified Infectious Disease and Internal Medicine specialist with decades of experience in detecting and treating diseases. He has dedicated his career to ensuring that patients feel informed, comfortable, and proactive about their health. His work focuses on early detection through high-resolution anoscopy (HRA), a specialized technique designed to identify abnormal cells before they develop into cancer.
Nevada has never had a dedicated screening program for anal dysplasia—until now. Dr. Farabi and his team are bringing these essential services to the city, filling a critical gap in preventive care. “We’re making these
screenings accessible, stigma-free, and normal. We’re saving lives,” he says.
While it’s easy to assume anal cancer is rare, the truth is that cases have been steadily increasing, and it’s linked to something most will have in their lifetime: HPV. Dr. Farabi adds, “HPV is the most common STI, and many can have it and may not know it.” That’s right, the same virus responsible for cervical cancer also causes anal dysplasia, the precursor to anal cancer.
Risk factors include a history of HPV, those with abnormal cervical pap smear results, HIV, a weakened immune system, and even just getting older. While some groups have a higher risk, this is a health concern for everyone. The good news? It’s preventable and treatable when caught early.
“Most people think if they get a colonoscopy, they’re in the clear,” Dr. Farabi says. “But it does not detect precancerous cells.” That’s why Dr. Farabi and his team offer specialized anal Pap smears and high-resolution anoscopy screenings, as well as treatment. Just like a cervical Pap test, these procedures check for abnormal cell changes before they become dangerous.
Women are screened annually for HPV during their cervical Pap smears, but why isn’t the same routine screening applied to anal health? The fact is- it should be, and it
will be if Dr. Farabi has anything to do with it. His mission is to change the conversation and make it a standard practice for everyone—particularly those that are high risk. Dr. Farabi stresses that screenings, lifestyle awareness, and HPV vaccinations can make all the difference.
Dr. Farabi’s wellness center isn’t only about cancer prevention, they focus on complete health and wellness. The center offers a range of services designed to keep patients feeling their best, including HIV & STI testing and treatment, hormone therapy for transgender and nonbinary patients, as well as medical weight loss and metabolic health support. Dr. Farabi and his team take a comprehensive approach to long-term wellness.
We get it—talking about health ‘back there’ can feel uncomfortable. Butt why? We talk about heart health, skin health, even gut health. It’s time to talk about anal health, because ignoring it won’t make it disappear. Dr. Farabi says, “This is why I do what I do—to look back and know that I’ve saved lives and helped our community start talking about this important issue.” Knowledge is power, prevention is key, and taking care of your health is nothing to be shy about.
Schedule your screening today—because Dr. Alireza Farabi is here to make sure your health is always covered—front AND back!

Dr. Truvella Reese is proud to call Las Vegas home, and even prouder to serve it. Born and raised in the heart of the city, she’s spent her life turning compassion into action.
“Growing up in the inner city of Las Vegas, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor,” she says. “When I discovered dentistry as a profession, everything seemed to fall into place. ”
Dr. Reese was part of the inaugural class at UNLV School of Dental Medicine in 2002.
After years of working in private offices, she opened Generations Dental in 2012, committed to providing honest, ethical, and affordable family care. In 2016, she expanded with the purchase of Crowne Dental, growing a practice built on trust and transparency.
Her philosophy was shaped by a moment early in adulthood, when she was quoted thousands of dollars in car repairs during a routine oil change. “I remember sitting there feeling confused, powerless, and unsure if I was being taken advantage of,” she recalls. “That feeling stuck with me- I never want anyone to feel that way in my dental chair.”
Her patients have taken notice. Over the years, she’s been voted Best of Las Vegas several times for her cosmetic work and compassionate care. She adds, “We treat every patient like family, with transparency, respect, and heart.”
But Dr. Reese’s heart for service extends far beyond dentistry. In 2021, she launched her nonprofit called Reasons to Smile, offering restorative dental care to survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and underserved veterans.
“Las Vegas raised me… so to now serve the same community that shaped me, especially its most vulnerable, is deeply personal.” Her contributions have earned her numerous honors, including Nevada Mother of the Year, Nevada Trailblazer, Humanitarian of the Year, and Mrs. Nevada-America 2024. “As a mom, community servant, and a woman of faith, I never chased titles. I chased impact … For every woman who juggles family, purpose, and dreams quietly behind the scenes.”
Today, Dr. Reese serves as Chief Clinical Officer for Las Vegas Dental Management, where she’s helping lead the future of dental care with a focus on innovation, wellness, and clinical excellence. And she’s not done yet.
“This season feels like a launchpad for deeper impact, bolder leadership, and maybe even a little politics,” she says. “Senator Reese has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” MV

The local Las Vegas Real Estate market is on fire and is set to be cooking for the next few years! With the onset of our national sports teams, the Vegas Golden Knights, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Las Vegas Lights, this town is set to explode with real estate values. In this market, many properties are receiving multiple offers and same day deals which means homes are flying off the market. Many lenders are offering a grant program to assist you with the entire down payment, so if you thought you could never buy a house, a home is possible now!
For Danielle Azulay, real estate is more than a career. It is a story of resilience, reinvention, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
Her journey began with determination, discipline, and a deeply personal goal: to create stability, security, and a better future for herself and her two daughters. Entering the industry without shortcuts, Danielle relied on years of sales experience, a strong work ethic, and a natural ability to connect with people. She spent countless hours studying the Las Vegas market, networking, creating content, and learning every part of the business while showing up consistently, even when no one was watching.
“I entered real estate with no shortcuts, just determination, discipline, and years of sales experience that taught me how to connect with people, earn trust, and deliver results,” she shares.
As her business grew, so did her vision. What started as a mission to rebuild her own life has evolved into a passion for helping others make smart real estate decisions, build generational wealth, and feel confident through one of life’s biggest investments. Danielle is also focused on becoming a trusted name in the Las Vegas luxury market while inspiring other women, especially those starting over after hardship, to believe their past does not define their future.
Rebuilding has been a defining theme in Danielle’s life. At 21, she moved to the United States from Israel by herself, leaving her family behind and starting an entirely new chapter on her own. That experience shaped her independence and taught her how to adapt, persevere, and keep moving forward.
Later, after going through a difficult divorce following a 10-year relationship, Danielle found herself rebuilding once again, this time as a mother of two daughters. Instead of allowing that season to break her, she used it as fuel.
Motherhood, she says, has been her greatest motivation.
“Balance, for me, has never meant perfection. It means priorities,” Danielle explains. Like many working mothers, Danielle has taken business calls in the carpool line, answered emails late at night, and pushed forward even on the most exhausting days. But motherhood has also strengthened her focus, sharpened her time management, and deepened the purpose behind everything she does. She wants her daughters to see that women can be nurturing and ambitious, strong and loving, independent and devoted.
That heart-centered approach carries into Danielle’s real estate business. Her work with clients is personal, strategic, and results-driven. Whether she is helping a first-time buyer, a relocating family, an investor, or a luxury seller, Danielle believes every client deserves an experience tailored to their goals.
Communication, education, and trust are at the center of her process. Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, especially in a fast-growing market like Las Vegas. Danielle makes it her priority to keep clients informed, confident, and supported from start to finish. She is known for being accessible, honest, and proactive, offering guidance, solving problems, and advocating fiercely for the people she represents.
What sets her apart is the combination of hustle and heart. Danielle brings strong negotiation skills, modern marketing strategies, social media reach, and genuine relationship-building to every transaction. This past year has been especially meaningful. In her first year in real estate, Danielle was recognized in the top 2% during the first quarter of 2026. She also sold two luxury homes in her first year, a major accomplishment that reinforced her place in the Las Vegas market.
Still, she is most proud of the person she became along the way. She kept going, stayed focused, and continued showing up for her daughters, her clients, and herself.
For Danielle Azulay, this is only the beginning. As she continues growing in luxury real estate, her mission remains clear: to help others move forward with confidence while building a life her daughters can one day look at and say, “She never gave up.”

For Claudia Meneses, Avanti Green Eco Cleaning was never just about cleaning homes and commercial spaces. It was about building something with purpose, creating opportunity, and proving that a service business could be professional, scalable, and deeply human at the same time.
After 15 years of serving Las Vegas and building trusted relationships with longterm residential and commercial clients, what started as a home and business cleaning service has grown into a broader vision. Today, Claudia is leading Avanti Green into its next chapter: stronger commercial growth, expanded specialty divisions, and a more complete service model for clients who need one dependable company to care for their spaces.
From homes and offices to luxury properties, commercial facilities, construction sites, and specialty maintenance projects, Avanti Green is positioning itself as more than a cleaning company. With growing divisions in carpet cleaning, pressure washing, floor care, window cleaning, post-construction cleanup, and commercial maintenance, the company is becoming a trusted partner for clients who value consistency, accountability, and healthier cleaning solutions.
That growth did not happen overnight.
“In the beginning, I did whatever it took,” Claudia says. “I answered calls, scheduled clients, worked in the field, washed towels at night, and kept going because I knew I was building something bigger than myself.” Like many women entrepreneurs, Claudia built her company while balancing business, motherhood, financial pressure, and daily operations. Those early years shaped her leadership style and the culture of Avanti Green: practical, resilient, service-driven, and committed to doing things the right way.
Claudia is also quick to point out that Avanti Green’s growth has never been a solo effort. Behind every vehicle, every client relationship, and every completed project is a team of nearly 50 employees whose dedication brings the company’s standards to life every day. Their work in homes, offices, commercial spaces, and specialty projects
has helped turn Avanti Green into a growing local company with a recognizable presence in the community.
Commercial expansion is now one of Claudia’s biggest priorities. She sees a strong opportunity to serve offices, property managers, facilities, construction-related clients, and organizations that need reliable cleaning support across multiple service categories.
“Our goal is to be a stronger commercial partner for Las Vegas businesses,” Claudia says. “Many clients do not want to manage several different vendors. They want one reliable company that can help with cleaning, carpets, windows, floors, pressure washing, and specialty projects.”
Avanti Green’s eco-friendly mission remains central to its identity. The company has earned Green Seal certification, a milestone that reinforces its focus on safer, more responsible cleaning practices. For Claudia, being “green” is not simply part of the company name. It is part of the standard.
“Green cleaning has to be more than branding,” she says. “It has to show up in the products we choose, the way we train, and the way we protect the homes and businesses we serve.”
A key part of Avanti Green’s story is the leadership behind its growth. Noemy Sibrian, VP of Field Operations and co-owner, has been with Claudia almost since the beginning, helping shape the company’s field standards, service quality, and operational
accountability. Mónica Taher, VP of Growth & Commercial Development and co-owner, supports commercial relationships, business development, expansion efforts, and the company’s continued visibility in the market.
Together, they represent a women-led leadership team focused on growth, structure, and service excellence. As Avanti Green enters its next chapter, Claudia, Noemy, and Mónica are also working on the company’s long-term vision: expanding commercial accounts, strengthening specialty divisions, and exploring innovation through technology. One example is CleverSlot, the company’s proprietary AI-powered scheduling app, designed to improve booking, routing, and service efficiency as Avanti Green continues to scale.
Her daughter, Amaris, remains one of Claudia’s greatest motivations. Claudia wants her to see that women can lead, own, create jobs, and build something from the ground up.
“I want my daughter to understand that success is not instant,” Claudia says. “It comes from discipline, resilience, and doing the right thing even when it is hard.”
Today, Avanti Green is entering a new chapter rooted in commercial growth, specialty services, sustainability, stronger systems, innovation, and the people who make the company possible. Claudia is not only building a company. She is building a green legacy in Las Vegas, one shaped by family, leadership, resilience, opportunity, employees, clients, and purpose.
There’s luxury design—and then there’s Sasha Good. As the founder and lead designer of Design by Sasha, this award-winning boutique firm has become the secret weapon behind some of the most exclusive properties in Las Vegas. Specializing in high-end interior design, full-scale remodels, and luxury staging, Sasha is the go-to expert for turning jaw-dropping listings into irresistible, livedin dreams.
With elite clients ranging from athletes to entertainers—including Raiders owner Mark Davis and even Lisa Vanderpump purchased one of her staged homes—Sasha’s name is synonymous with elevated taste and show-stopping results. Her firm stages in-demand estates in The Summit Club and MacDonald Highlands, where she doesn’t just furnish homes, she curates them. Think luxury furniture, hand-selected art, and unique accessories, all chosen by Sasha herself to spark connection and emotion the
moment a buyer walks through the door. And it works! Many of her homes sell fully furnished.
Currently, she’s staging a $28 million property in The Summit Club, bringing in “modern organic vibes” that blend seamlessly with the home’s architecture. Sasha is more than a designer, she’s a visionary. From collaborating with builders on ground-up construction to transforming dirt lots into million-dollar masterpieces, she loves being there from start to finish. “I want to see the whole thing come to life—from the foundation to the final pillow placement,” she says.
Sasha’s journey is as inspiring as her designs. Originally from Croatia, she came to the U.S. in her early 20s—alone, with no money and no connections—escaping the war in the former Yugoslavia. With hard work, no shortcuts, and a fierce belief in herself, she built everything from the ground up. Now, her brand is growing,
her client list is elite, and her gratitude is unwavering.
And the best is yet to come. Sasha’s launching her own e-commerce store this summer—an expertly curated online collection offering everything from affordable treasures to high-end luxury finds, so anyone can design like Sasha.
Looking for a home that sells itself—or a design that makes you fall in love with your home all over again? Call the one and only Sasha Good today. It’s a MYVEGAS promise: you’ll be dazzled, every time. MV

Las Vegas is a city known for its fast pace and endless entertainment, but behind the glamour, there are real people with real stories. For Sarah Banda, founder of Banda Law Group, it’s those stories that matter most. Born and raised in Las Vegas, Sarah’s goal was never to just build a law firm, but to also create a space where clients feel heard, supported, and truly understood.
“My decision to pursue a career in law was rooted in a desire to advocate for justice and make a meaningful impact in people’s lives,” Sarah shares. “I’ve always been drawn to standing up for those who wouldn’t have the power or voice in our legal system.”
That’s exactly what Banda Law Group stands for: A client-first approach with a personal touch. Dedicated to handling personal injury cases, Sarah’s firm is focused on providing thoughtful, compassionate legal care for those who need it most.
With more than 14 years of legal experience, Sarah Banda isn’t just a seasoned attorney— she’s someone who genuinely cares about her clients. “When you retain Banda Law Group, you’re not just a number. You work directly with me,” she explains. “I make it a priority to ensure Banda Law Group isn’t just about winning cases but about understanding the unique needs of each client.”
Sarah’s community involvement extends beyond the courtroom. “Holding the title of Mrs. Nevada-America 2021 was a significant honor that allowed me to further engage with and support local causes like Candlelighter’s Childhood Cancer Foundation and Ronald McDonald House Charities of LV.”
As a lawyer, wife, mother, and business owner, Sarah knows the challenge of balancing multiple roles. “At times, balancing these different roles can be a challenge, but it comes down to having an amazing support system,” she says.
Her hands-on approach means each client gets the customized legal strategy they need. “I spent years learning the ins and outs of the courtroom, focusing on trial strategy, and honing my advocacy skills. But legal work isn’t just about the law—it’s about people and their unique situations.”
What truly sets Banda Law Group apart is Sarah’s deep connection to the Las Vegas community. Born and raised in the city, and crowned Mrs. Nevada-America 2021, Sarah’s more than a lawyer—she’s a local.
“Las Vegas is my home. I’m a bornand-raised Nevadan, and this is where I’ve built my career and raise my family,” Sarah says with pride. “I am able to provide legal services tailored to the specific needs of our community, ensuring that we not only serve clients effectively, but also contribute to the city’s well-being.”
“I have a husband who is my rock, and we run multiple businesses and raise our family successfully because we handle everything as a team. Our 10-year-old son helps my husband at our pizza shop and hangs out with me at the firm. My parents and in-laws also help juggle school and sports.” This team-oriented approach extends to her law practice, where clients are treated like family, not just cases.
If you’re looking for a law firm where you’re more than a case, Banda Law Group is the place for you. Call Banda Law Group today and discover the difference that personalized legal care can make. You deserve to be heard. MV
"I’ve always been drawn to standing up for those who wouldn’t have the power or voice in our legal system.”
Meesha Moulton, the award-winning attorney and founder of Meesha Moulton Law, is a lawyer who stands out for her dedication to making a real difference in people’s lives. Specializing in Personal Injury and Immigration law, Moulton’s firm stands out for its personalized legal services and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction.
Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Moulton’s passion for the law was evident from a young age. After earning her undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from York University, she attended Michigan State University for law school before eventually relocating to Las Vegas in 2014. Inspired by the ability of law to effect meaningful change, Moulton wanted to focus on areas where she could directly assist individuals, rather than corporations.
The decision to establish her own law firm stemmed from Moulton’s drive to provide a more personalized experience for her clients. Drawing from her years of experience at a high-volume law firm, she recognized the need for a boutique-style practice that prioritizes client services. At Meesha Moulton Law, clients are never just another case; they receive direct contact, personalized attention, and comprehensive oversight from Moulton herself.
With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in Personal Injury and Immigration matters, Moulton’s specialization is rooted in her own life experiences. Growing up with immigrant parents, she witnessed firsthand the profound impact immigration
has on people’s lives. This led her to become a trusted advocate, guiding her clients through the complex immigration process and easing their financial and emotional burdens.
Moulton’s commitment to her clients goes beyond legal expertise. She ensures that her clients feel supported and heard throughout their legal journey. From the initial intake to the final resolution, she and her team make themselves available for phone calls and meetings, providing regular updates and maintaining open lines of communication. Moulton believes that transparency and empathy are key to establishing strong attorney-client relationships and ensuring her clients’ peace of mind.
Balancing the demands of running a law firm with single motherhood is no small feat, but Moulton manages it with grace. Supported by a healthy co-parenting dynamic and a reliable team, she navigates the challenges of both worlds. Her daughter even gets to experience the world of law firsthand, occasionally joining Moulton at the office.
Looking ahead, Moulton has exciting plans for the future. Her firm will be moving to a new office space in the Axiom building in the Southwest area of Las Vegas, further solidifying her presence in the legal community and her dedication to serving her clients.
Meesha Moulton is not just an attorney; she is a force for positive change. Dedicated to making a difference, Meesha and her team are ready to provide the support and guidance you need.

In personal injury, results depend on control — control of timelines, documentation, communication, and risk. When property damage is mishandled, cases stall, clients grow frustrated, and law firms are left addressing issues that should never have existed.
VICE NV was built to eliminate that problem.
Led by husband-and-wife team Sergio and Lauren Buenrostro, VICE combines deep legal experience, operational discipline, and licensed property-damage expertise to support attorneys and their teams from the earliest stages of a case through final resolution.
This is not a vendor relationship. This is case infrastructure.
From a managing partner’s standpoint, property damage is not simply operational, it is a risk-management and reputation issue. Uncontrolled storage fees, rental disputes, delayed total-loss resolutions, and incomplete documentation quietly erode case value and strain client relationships.
VICE was built to give firms predictability and control over property damage. By handling appraisals, rentals, storage coordination, insurance communication, and policy-limit verification in a licensed and defensible manner, we help firms reduce friction and protect settlements without increasing internal burden.
Sergio began his career in 2009 at one of Nevada’s largest personal-injury law firms, working cases from intake through resolution, including litigation support and trial preparation. His experience in complex property-damage claims, total losses, and coverage disputes continues to guide how VICE operates today.
Lauren’s experience completes the equation. Lauren began her personal-injury career in 2011, working as a pre-litigation case manager and later in settlement disbursement, managing cases from intake through closing. She understands how unresolved property-damage issues affect lien negotiations, client payouts, attorney fees, and firm cash flow, as well as how early delays can create downstream problems at the back end of a case.
Together, they identified a consistent issue across firms of all sizes: property damage was creating unnecessary delays, stress, and risk.
VICE was built to remove that friction entirely.
VICE is a licensed Nevada collision facility, led by a Nevada-licensed Independent Property Damage Appraiser. Every appraisal, valuation, storage charge, and rental agreement is prepared with legal scrutiny and insurance compliance in mind.
Services include independent appraisals and total-loss evaluations, policy-limit verification early in the claim, proactive storage-fee management, loss-of-use and
diminished-value documentation, and a brand-new in-house rental fleet with fair, lien-friendly rates.
VICE works directly with insurance companies to strategically protect the client and keep cases moving forward.
“Property damage becomes a problem long before liability is accepted. VICE steps in early and removes that burden before it ever reaches the case manager’s desk.”
VICE is proudly Las Vegas-based, locally owned, and attorney-focused. Licensed, established, and ready to take on new matters, VICE delivers clarity where chaos often exists. When your firm needs control, credibility, and defensible property-damage support, VICE delivers.

In a world where leadership often comes with barriers, Joyce Toti saw an opportunity to help women not just navigate, but thrive. As the founder of Collective Women’s Leadership (CWL), Joyce has built a powerful community dedicated to equipping women with the tools they need to advocate for themselves, build confidence, and step into leadership roles with certainty.
With a background in business and leadership, Joyce spent years witnessing the gaps that held women back. Hesitation in self-advocacy, a lack of confidence in negotiations, and the absence of a strong network designed to uplift and empower. She knew the problem wasn’t a lack of talent but a lack of access to the right resources.
Her solution? Create a space where women could learn, grow, and connect in a way that felt accessible, engaging, and truly transformative.
Joyce first made waves on Instagram, @collectivewomensleadership where she built a thriving community by mixing practical leadership insights with the engaging nature of viral content. Her platform quickly became a go-to hub for women eager to develop their leadership potential, gaining thousands of followers drawn to her expertise and authenticity.
But Joyce knew social media alone wasn’t enough. Women needed more. A structured, hands-on approach to leadership
development. That’s when she decided to take things to the next level.
Recognizing the need for real, actionable learning, Joyce launched Collective Women’s Leadership, an app designed to help women unlock their leadership potential through self-advocacy, personal branding, and mentorship.
Unlike traditional leadership programs, CWL doesn’t just teach theory, it provides women with:
• Practical tools to enhance confidence in the workplace
• Strategies for negotiating promotions and leadership opportunities
• A network of like-minded women supporting one another
The CWL app isn’t about selling leadership, it’s about teaching women to claim it.
CWL is redefining leadership education by offering a flexible, modern approach to learning that fits into the real lives of ambitious women. Whether it’s a woman looking to advance in her corporate role, an entrepreneur building her brand, or a leader shaping the future of her industry, CWL provides the skills and strategies needed to make it happen.

Hello Loren,
I have a 2011 Honda Odyssey. It has a 6-cylinder engine. I have failed smog multiple times for Codes P0301-P0306 and P0300. I have had numerous repairs performed at a cost of over $3000. A new computer, spark plugs, and coils. All 6 injectors. The timing components were replaced a few months ago. I have 120k on it. My vehicle runs great! It just will not pass smog. Compression is over 180 psi on all 6 cylinders. I change my oil every 4 months with full synthetic. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Smogged out,
I am not sure of what types of shops you are entrusting. These Honda V-6 engines are valve lash sensitive. When the engine is cold, the valve train contracts. The valves actually sink into the valve seats. The misfires are not harsh enough to feel, but the vehicle’s computer is sophisticated enough to detect them. At 120k, a valve adjustment should have been suggested multiple times if your repair shop is familiar with Honda engines. I hope this helps.
