S

ummer is winding down and I can already smell the pumpkin spice around the corner which means only half a year left in 2022… how’s that for spooky?

vember elections also play a crucial role in our educational system. Being well informed on the ballots and candidates before hitting the voting polls will help in the long run. Stay informed!

We polled more than 100,00 of our readers and found the 2022 Top 100 Lawyers in Las Vegas. These prestigious group of men and women come highly recommended by our readers. They provide guidance, protect our rights and advise us on what’s best for the situation at hand. In this special issue, we have a diverse group that practice various types of law. From the heavy hitters to the rising stars and everything in between, you can find the perfect attorney for your case within these pages. This year’s recipients have contributed in many ways in and outside the courtrooms. With their positive influence within our community, I applaud every one of them as well as all the nominations we received. Thank you for protecting our rights!

A lot of you might’ve already known that our Publisher, Mark, ran for Nevada Senate in the primary elections. It was his first time in the political world and although he didn’t move on to the general elections, his staff, including myself are very proud of him for the accomplishments and growth we have seen throughout the years. We’re so proud of you Mark! It truly warms my heart when we can promote within the company. Our web, social media and content creator, Gio, is such an asset to the company, with his creative, out of the box thinking, he has implemented some pretty amazing things. Make sure to tag @myvegasmagazine to be featured! We added two rockstars to our staff, Cody and Amanda.

Both bringing their own flare to the company. Cody’s background in photography, writing, and fashion is adding value to our brand while Amanda’s attention to detail in all her beautiful graphic work seals the

deal. Blessed to have them both! Finally, my partner in crime, my Editor, Sarah. I can go on and on about how amazing she is, but we all know that. I just want to congratulate her on being a new, first-time mommy.

You’re going to be great at motherhood.

I’ll try not to pull my heart out during your maternity leave. Enjoy your bundle of joy and we can’t wait to have her join the MYVEGAS fam.

I also want to thank the rest of my staff for all their continued hard work. Joe who delivers our magazines throughout the Vegas valley, Shelly who keeps our books in order, Leslie and Daryl our dynamic sales and PR duo, Steven, Kelly, and Patty our sales superstars.

If you would like to be a part of this team, send in your resume, we are always looking for more awesome people to join our team. I promise I am a great leader, once I have my coffee of course! Resumes can be emailed to info@myvegasmag.com.

STAY BLESSED, UNTIL NEXT TIME!

My favorite time of year is here, and who can blame me? The weather is cool and crisp, pumpkin patches and haunted houses on every corner, and the holiday season slowly approaching! With that being said, that means kids are back in action for the 2022-2023 school year and as a parent myself, school safety is a top priority. There are many ways we can voice our concerns and help make positive changes. Check with your school district on ways to be involved as each may be different. The No-

MEGHAN & MARK LADWIG AND THEIR PRETERM TWINS, FYNN AND JOSEPHINE By: Dawn Gibbons

S

hakespeare said, “Though she be but little, she is fierce!” A mantra shared by those taking great care of preterm babies in the Las Vegas community.

After a long, successful journey through IVF, first time parents, Mehgan and Mark Ladwig celebrated the impending birth of twins around Valentine’s Day. But the babies arrived before Thanksgiving, three months premature.

Thankfully, Las Vegas has risen to the much-needed level of care with multiple and exceptional NICU’s, Neonatal Intensive Care Units, to support their very tiny and newest Nevada citizens. Because of these dedicated professionals, the herculean effort of premature babies to meet the daily challenges, once thought impossible, is being achieved.

Some parents anticipate the possibility of preterm supportive care, but Meghan and Mark were caught off guard with the unexpected delivery. At Summerlin Hospital, in a surgery suite filled with teams of doctors, nurses, support services and more, Fynn and Josephine Ladwig arrived weighing under 2 ½ pounds. They were so tiny that they fit into the doctor’s hand, theirs heads the size of a golf ball and perfect fingers, so small they didn’t wrap around a pencil. They gave a welcome cry as they were slipped into plastic bags, placed in incubators, and whisked away to the NICU for an eventual 109 days of intensive care to assist and monitor their growth to healthy, full-term babies.

Inside Summerlin Hospital’s NICU, Meghan and Mark spent weeks in a cubicle, beside state of the art ‘space cap-

16

sules’ that mimicked a pre-birth environment, low lights- as their vision had not developed significantly, monitored temperatures, and oxygen levels critically calculated to assure a balanced breathing level -as too much or too little is equally problematic.

Reaching through a thin wall of an environmental natal bubble, they could talk to and touch the babies, until they were safe for ‘skin to skin’ Kangaroo bonding contact. Drops of valuable breast milk were provided for many weeks to nourish the babies with natural antibodies. Eventually, each baby graduated to an open bassinette, a less restrictive schedule and more parent interaction.

WE FELT CONFIDENT GOING HOME AT NIGHT FOR A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP. OUR TRUST IN THE NICU STAFF WAS UNWAVERING NICU staff’s dedication extended past their working hours, from thoughtful notes of encouragement and small gifts to celebrating milestones and holidays, including tiny crochet hats to fit the preemies, and ornaments with footprints to commemorate a first Christmas. “We spent our first Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year as a new family in the NICU and the staff became a second family to us. Their encouragement and kindness, the constant focus on our babies, and on every baby, was remarkable. Staff was al-

ways monitoring, managing, teaching, and encouraging us. They were the trusted constant while our babies grew. We learned how to confidently manage the expected, as well as the unexpected.”

The hospital provided individual, private 24-hour video cameras focused on each baby so parents can watch remotely, since not every parent can be bedside.

It also gave grandparents their first look since COVID restrictions prevented any contact other than parents.

The highly skilled NICU teams have decades of cumulative experience in preterm care, intensely focused, able to anticipate issues and proactively manage the ups and downs of the first few critical weeks. “No parent wants to end up in a NICU, as every case is completely different. Every baby has their own story. We saw no judgement, only compassion and excellent care. The threads of humanity may have seemed insignificant, but it lessened our anxieties. We felt confident going home at night for a few hours of sleep. Our trust in the NICU staff was unwavering.”

The Ladwig family is home now, happy, and healthy, meeting the expected benchmarks of full-term babies. “We are eternally grateful for everyone we encountered. Doctors, nurses, all the therapists, even the housekeeper came by daily to see ‘their twins.’”

LET’S TALK ABOUT FAT!

What about it? All of us have it; however, most of us feel we have more than we would like. It seems like everywhere you turn there’s a new diet fad or trend telling you how you can magically lose weight. Whether it’s a pill, shake, detox tea, or fasting, it never seems to work, at least not long term. The only true and healthy way to lose weight is, of course, through proper diet and exercise. Plain and simple.

B

ut what if you are already eating healthy and exercising regularly? What if you’ve reached your goal weight or close to it but still struggling to lose that stubborn fatty area that won’t go away? You know, the pouch right underneath the belly button. Surgery can help but it’s usually not the answer for most of us. It’s extremely expensive, invasive, high risk, and the painful recovery process can take weeks for your body to heal.

If only there was another option. But there is.

This is where I can help. What if I told you there is an alternative way to get rid of that stubborn bulge or your trouble area without having surgery? Would you believe me? It’s true. And the process is so much easier. In fact, it’s quite enjoyable.

I offer body sculpting services by using the latest technologies called Laser Lipo, Ultrasound Cavitation, and Radio Frequency. Unlike surgery, these three treatments are completely noninvasive, safe, has no downtime, and it’s FDA approved. And, the two best parts; it’s very affordable, and as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, you get to keep your results.

So, how does it work? To word it simply, Laser Lipo and Ultrasound Cavitation use methods of low-level laser and soundwaves to target body fat. These methods

cause fat cells to shrink and liquify which eventually travels though the lymphatic system and expel from the body. Within a few sessions, clients will notice their body start slimming. Results will vary; however, most people will only need about 4 to 6 sessions. And as mentioned earlier, you can keep your results!

Interested? Or are you thinking it’s too good to be true? Please understand that I’m not offering a magic pill. There is no such thing. However, the service does require participation on your end which is explained during your consultation. But the expectations from you are very minimal and most of you who come visit my office are already doing what is required to enhance your results. You just have to show up to your sessions.

Do I have your interest? Let’s schedule a consultation. I will explain in full detail how the process works and what you should expect. I promise you will love the treatment and the results you will get.

Let’s get rid of that stubborn fatty area once and for all! MV Wave Body Sculpting Owned and Operated by Sheila Petrillo 7391 W Charleston Blvd, Suite 130 Las Vegas, NV 89117 (702) 279-4119 Wavebodysculptinglv.com

THE LASH QUEEN OF LAS VEGAS With Las Vegas being the entertainment capital of the world, there’s no doubt that the majority of women who work in many of the industries in Sin City need to look their best.

L

ash extensions have become one of the must-have beauty essentials in maintaining their daily beauty routine. With the demand for service in any industry, the quality can sometimes be compromised. For Lash Queen, Ariane Lazo, quality, and longevity is something that can’t be compromised when applying lash extensions.

With 15 years of experience in the beauty industry as a Hairdresser, Aesthetician, Make-Up Artist, Lash Artist and Cosmetology Educator, Ariane has put all this knowledge into choosing the right prod-

ucts and has refined her skills to offer the best service in this oversaturated market.

Consequently, this has led to many referrals and continuous bookings that have kept this lash queen busy. This hasn’t stopped her from taking the next step in creating a brand that offers a line of luxury lash products and training to help other lash artists provide better service.

With the launch of lashqueeninternational.com, an online store, all her Lash Queen products are available along with registration for artist training and other helpful resources. “Once I was able to reach a level of success in my business,

my passion for being an educator encouraged me to empower others to contribute to improving the quality of service in my industry,” says Ariane.

Just as many businesses around the world that have been hit hard by the pandemic, Vegas truly showed a domino effect due to many businesses and industry’s that rely on each other to succeed, the beauty industry being one of them. Times like these are a true test to see if business owners have prepared or can adapt to hard times. It was important from the beginning to start Lash Queen International on the right track by creating an LLC and keeping her financials organized. It was her initial intention to be able to show that her business was profitable to buy a house and protect her financial future.

“Putting in the work of creating a legitimate business would ultimately help me to keep it from going under,” Ariane adds. It is very common for many beauty professionals to not claim their income, such as sub-contracted workers that do not keep track of their income and spending. This put many of them in very tough situations throughout the pandemic and were forced, in many cases, to find other career paths or jobs. The change and uncertainty have made a lot of us feel uncomfortable, but for Ariane, once she adapted to this unfortunate situation, it was time to find ways to use this down time to step back and evaluate how she could improve her business and come back strong. Resilience is built in those who can get through and learn from tough times in life. She is now hoping to help others in the beauty industry to be better self-employed or business owners because a Queen is only as strong as her kingdom.

T

here's a technological revolution happening in the world of cosmetic surgery, and Elite Body Sculpture is at the helm.

AirSculpt, performed exclusively at Elite Body Sculpture has a new state-of-theart, luxury location in Las Vegas! CEO and Founder of AirSculpt®, Aaron Rollins has entrusted Dr. Nalluri and Dr. Mosharrafa to continue setting the standard in permanent fat removal. I had the pleasure of conducting an interview with Elite Body Sculpture on the benefits of AirSculpt® technology, and why it is incomparable in the field of cosmetic surgery. The following is a Q & A regarding this revolutionary procedure.

Q. WHAT IS AIRSCULPT? AirSculpt is a patented and precision-engineered technology that removes fat cell by cell through a freckle size hole. It is a minimally invasive fat removal procedure that does not use needles, scalpels, or stitches and provides smooth, customized results.

Typical downtime is about 1-3 days, and everything is done under local anesthesia, so you are awake the entire time! We need our patients to complete a complimentary consultation, in person or virtually, prior to their procedure.

Q. WHAT IS THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AIRSCULPT® PROCEDURE AND OTHER FAT REMOVING TECHNIQUES? Results! There are many tools to use to remove fat. Among them, there have been some significant advances over the years.

Airsculpt ® combines mechanical energy and gentle management of the surrounding soft tissues to optimize fat removal in our patients.

Q. WHAT MAKES SOMEONE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR AIRSCULPT®?

The ideal candidate is anyone with stubborn, unwanted fat pockets. We do not have a BMI requirement or weight limit for AirSculpt. If you can pinch it, we can take it! We recommend a healthy diet and exercise to enhance and maintain your AirSculpt results.

Q. IS THERE ANYTHING A PATIENT SHOULD DO BEFORE HAVING THE PROCEDURE DONE? There is no need to alter lifestyle before the procedure. It is important, however, to commit to a healthy lifestyle to ensure the best, longest lasting results. I recommend a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise regimen and all medical conditions addressed.

Q. HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY PRO-

CESS AS OPPOSED TO OTHER PROCEDURES RELATED TO FAT REDUCTION? Most patients walk in, have the minimally invasive procedure done, and walk out.

They are able to even go out to dinner that same evening if they want to. They usually resume light work the next day but I ask them to refrain from exercise for about two weeks to allow the body time to heal. Patients that have had previous procedures by older techniques experience Airsculpt ® and tell me that Airsculpt recovery was a breeze compared to their previous procedure

THE NEXT GENERATION OF

BODY CONTOURING

Q. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF AIRSCULPT®?

Optimal contour and sculpting results with minimal to no downtime, the ability to naturally enhance the breast and or buttock, no need for general anesthesia, and no need for potentially habit-forming pain medication.

Q. WHAT GUIDANCE CAN YOU OFFER FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING? Our Instagram, website, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube is where patients can view real patient experiences at various stages of the procedure and their journeys, all with different body types explaining the experience and the results from their personal perspective. This is very relatable for patients and gives them a realistic idea of what they can expect.

Q. YOU BOTH HAVE YOUR OWN PRIVATE PRACTICES, WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING ELITE BODY SCULPTURE? Dr. Nalluri: I am extremely appreciative of all of the people that have raised, helped, taught and supported me through my journey and still do. I came to realize that in my private practice, my limitation of what I can do to help people through their individual transformation are my two hands, and I can only help one patient at a time. With Elite Body Sculpture I’ve become a part of something that is much bigger than myself and is one of the most rapidly growing aesthetic companies because of all of the wonderful things the team together has been able to achieve for many more people than I could have on my own.

Advertorial Moist, Hydrated, Beautiful Skin in the Desert? YES – It’s Possible!

Meet SkinCeuticals’ newest innovation – Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment The Nevada desert is filled with amazing and stunning colors. And it’s also drryyyyy. Just like the desert, Nevadans come in a multitude of beautiful colors and textures. And frankly, most of us are dry, just like the landscape. But there’s a new option to help!

SkinCeuticals, the powerhouse brand behind the top selling antioxidants in the world, has created a luxurious and multi-functional moisturizer that’s good for all skin types, even the most sensitive! It’s called Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment and it’s available at SkinCeuticals’ only Flagship in Nevada – The Spa at Lakes Dermatology.

Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment was crafted with synergistic modulation technology to enhance tone, texture, clarity, and overall radiance of the skin. Key ingredients like 2% alpha arbutin, 3% azelaic acid, and 5.75% phyto botanical blend (a SkinCeuticals proprietary blend for soothing), help to achieve these effects. But what does this mean for your skin? It means it will be less inflamed, less red, less irritated, and have less discoloration. And on the flip side your skin will be brighter, clearer, and smoother, without the use of harsher products like hydroquinone or retinols that some people in Vegas simply cannot tolerate. Plus it’s gentle enough to be used up to twice daily.

“I can tell you from a recent patient poll that over 98% of people who come in my office are looking for help with discoloration and moisturization. Until Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment came along, that product simply didn’t exist.

Now it’s here and it’s amazing!” according to F. Victor Rueckl, MD, board-certified Dermatologist. “Personally, I have dry and sensitive skin. Certain products sting my skin. So I try to find ones that don’t and am continually looking for a moisturizer that isn’t heavy or greasy. It’s finally here.”

So if you’ve been searching for a perfect multi-functional product that you can use daily, Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is here for you. Come check it out at The Spa at Lakes Dermatology today.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH

YOUR SKIN As we near the fall months (FINALLY), we must remember that skin care can be even more important during the colder months. Not just climate change, but cold air can be a culprit to dry skin and a variety of changes in our skin.

Get your best skin through all seasons with these protective skin tips!

EXFOLIATE Many may not know the benefits of regularly exfoliating, but it can truly make your skin look and feel better. Dead skin cells building up on the skin can actually make it harder to moisturize, so try an exfoliating cleanser or mask for your face and body- you’ll see much smoother skin below the surface!

MOISTURIZE Seems like a no brainer but moisturizing daily can actually save you from developing dry skin throughout this season. Ensuring that you apply moisturizer right after a shower, your skin will retain and lock in all the moisture needed to face the weather.

SUNSCREEN It may be an assumption that sunscreen is only necessary when the sun is blaring in your face during the summer, that is certainly not the case. Sun damage can happen during any month, and yes even when it’s a cloudy day. Use it daily!

VITAMINS As much as vitamins are beneficial for your body on the inside, it can directly translate to your skin health. It’s recommended to gain these vitamins through your diet, so eating well can take care of your daily need, however supplements can also help you hit that goal.

HYDRATE You’ve heard it time and time again that drinking water is incredible for your body inside and out, same as your daily dose of vitamins. But it really can change your skin game greatly during the dry seasons. Never doubt the power of water!

While these tips can help your skin health during the entire year, they are especially helpful after seasonal changes and during especially dry months. Keep your skin glowing and moisturized and you’ll be falling in love with your skin every day!

IS BROCCOLI CAUSING YOU TO GAIN WEIGHT? IT DEFINITELY COULD BE… By: Tana Ashlee Weight Loss Expert

20

million people struggle with thyroid disease and only 60% of them know it. A majority of those people have hypothyroidism. That is when your thyroid is performing slow, so it makes it harder to lose weight.

Don’t get disheartened reading this list.

You can still have this stuff, just in moderation. The first few foods I listed are usually a major shock to people, the other half are pretty normal to avoid in abundance when trying to lose a few pounds.

If you are struggling to lose weight with hypothyroidism, there’s a lot to consider.

FOODS THAT HELP

Things that would normally help with weight loss actually backfire, so I want to break things down nice and easy, so you don’t have to struggle anymore.

LET’S START WITH WHAT FOODS TO AVOID CRUCIFEROUS SOY VEGETABLES CAFFEINE like broccoli ALCOHOL GLUTEN FRIED FOODS SUGARY FOODS PROCESSED FOODS STRAWBERRIES PEARS

24

LEAN MEATS EGGS NUTS, SEEDS FRUITS; LIMIT STRAWBERRIES AND PEARS VEGETABLES; LIMIT CRUCIFEROUS SWEET AND RED POTATO RICE Eating these foods will definitely help you drop weight, just stay mindful and see how your body responds.

As far as supplementing, you do have to be careful with fat burners because you can’t take too much caffeine, but you can lean towards turmeric and apple ci-

der vinegar as a natural fat burner with no side effects. You also should be taking iodine, selenium and zinc.

And of course, I am going to recommend exercise. This is always a benefit, but if you are overdoing it, it can certainly hinder seeing visual results.

If you have been doing HIIT workouts, interval cardio, and training 6 days a week with little to no results then I would say it is time to relax a bit and try superset workouts, walking or steady cardio and adding in an extra rest day to switch it up.

Sometimes, we believe going as hard as possible is the only way to go, but that’s not always the best way to burn fat. This is especially true for those who are already under a lot of stress so try switching things up and see how your results progress.

If you continue to struggle with weight, then we need to jump on a call and get this handled for you. Once you master your body, you master your life so that is why I feel so passionately about getting people results and you are the next person, I want to help!

Leading the way in her industry as the owner of the most popular hair salon on the Las Vegas Strip, Ellie Jamshidi, owner of Vegas Hair Color Masters, has made an exceptional name for herself, her salon and her fellow technicians.

T

his is no small feat, considering the fact that they opened their doors right in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic when surety and stability in business were virtually non-existent, and consumer confidence was at a low. The technicians and stylists at Vegas Hair Color Masters not only survived the quarantines and social distancing mandates but grew in stature, experience, and knowledge of their craft as well.

Vegas Hair Color Masters and Ellie Jamshidi specialize in coloring, and offer several services to clients including balayage, hi-lights, color correction, and hair treatment, just to name a few. Their website gallery of before and after photos speak for themselves, they are actual artists when it comes to the palette of hair.

Solidifying their status as keen service providers, they even offer a free cleanup cut between your appointments. They easily switch roles from tactical technicians to cut/color consultants when they add the final touch to services provided: making it a priority that no one leaves without having solid advice on how to keep hair healthy.

Any business is only as good as the team members who run its operations on the day-to-day. This is a sentiment that Ellie is more than familiar with, as evidenced by the remarkable team of technicians she has assembled herself.

The driving force behind this level of excellence lies in the leadership of the company itself. Ellie, who is a student of the industry and has worked it internationally, earned her stripes from Utah to Turkey to Iran where she was granted her instructor credentials. As the owner of a growing business and leader of her team, Ellie’s performance has remained at the top standard of quality service, by all accounts. We celebrate Ellie for her

exceptional perseverance through the trying times, as well as the ingenuity she displays in the way she operates her business in general. Ellie and her team are truly the Vegas Hair Color Masters!

ANSWERS FROM AN EXPERT:

COMMON QUESTIONS IN PLASTIC SURGERY

From mommy makeovers to filler, Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center offers an all-encompassing menu of plastic surgery options to their patients. And questions often arise, from the first initial consultation to surgery day.

D

r. Hayley Brown, surgeon and owner, loves to offer her expertise to patients and those who have questions before even stepping foot in her practice. We have asked Dr. Brown these thought provoking questions below: Q: Liposuction and fat transfer are continuously sought-after procedures.

What are the most common myths you hear about these procedures?

A: Liposuction improves resistant fatty deposits and the overall silhouette of the individual. It typically does not result in any sort of weight loss or clothing size decrease unless a patient does their part with diet and exercise. It is true if you gain weight after liposuction, it can come back both in treated and non-treated areas.

Many people think it helps with cellulite and offers a skin tightening effect, but that is a myth. The skin retraction seen is mostly a function of an individual’s skin tone rather than the surgeon or the technology used for liposuction. Although certain thermal heating liposuction devices may offer some skin retraction, results can vary and be unpredictable. Fat transfer can also be unpredictable, as a portion of the fat transfer may absorb requiring more than one session.

Q: What is the best recovery advice you would give to someone who just received a breast augmentation?

A: Protect the chest by sleeping on your back and minimizing excessive upper body movement for three weeks to allow healing of the pocket and to decrease risks for complications. Be prepared for unusual appearance changes to the breasts as the implants sit high and feel firm. Do not judge results too early as it takes months for the implants to drop and settle into the natural breast pocket.

Q: Does filler need to be dissolved before more filler is added?

A: Filler is not normally dissolved before the addition of more filler. Syringes are usually layered upon each other for the desired effect and to maintain results.

Dissolving filler with an enzyme called hyaluronidase has risks of allergic reac-

30

tions, thinning, redness, and bruising of the treated area, so dissolving product is best suited for unsatisfactory results or complications associated with filler.

Q: What is the best age to begin Botox or filler as a preventative measure against wrinkles and fine lines?

A: Injectables should be considered before lines get too deep and are just starting to appear. Age 30 is a good time to start for most people but because everyone ages differently, has different skin tones and habits, individuals in their late 20’s to 40’s typically seek out injectable facial treatments.

Q: Is the brow/forehead lift the new face lift?

A: I would not say that, but it certainly can optimize results of any facial rejuvenative procedure. A brow lift elevates

the upper third of the face, can help the frown and forehead lines, low brows, and the appearance of extra skin on the upper eyelids. I prefer to do endoscopic brow lifts because of the ease and noninvasiveness of the procedure which creates natural results that are consistently obtained.

In certain cases, you can see some subtle elevation of the face and jawline, but in general it is not effective for sagging skin affecting the central face and neck.

WHAT IS HOSPICE?

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.

I

t’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.

IS HOSPICE THE RIGHT THING FOR YOU: 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.

OUR PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE 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 THE HOSPICE OF CHOICE 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.

WE PROVIDE QUALITY CARE WHERE YOU ARE 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.

32

HOSPICE IS A NON-PROFIT 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.

WE HAVE TRAVELED THIS PATH MANY TIMES 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

Choices, Education, Empowerment, Respect, and Support.

S

erenity Birth Center is Nevada’s first state-licensed Free-Standing Birth Center and has received National Accreditation through the Commission of American Birth Centers. These two certifications require the center to be at the highest compliance for patient safety.

Appropriately, April and Serenity Birth Center welcomed their first baby in April of this year.

Licensed and accredited birth centers are approved as a safe place for healthy, lowrisk women and babies by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Additionally, the midwifery model of care improves outcomes for maternal and infant health. Preterm birth rates and cesarean sections rates are reduced.

Infant birth weights are increased. Satisfaction among mothers is increased while costs are reduced.

Birth centers are an integrated part of the healthcare system and are guided by pre-

vention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost-effectiveness. The Birth Center respects and facilitates a woman’s right to informed choice.

We support families to make healthcare choices for mother and baby based on the family’s values and beliefs. As she defines it, the woman’s family is welcome to participate in the pregnancy, birth, postpartum period, and well-woman care.

Birth Centers are proud of connecting, working, and being involved in their community. Our center offers childbirth classes, lactation groups, postpartum groups, mom, and baby activities.

START YOUR JOURNEY TO A PAIN FREE LIFE

Dr. Yevgeniy Khavkin, the founder of Khavkin Clinic, was raised in Moscow, Russia. He was Inspired to go into the medical field by his mother, a pediatric surgeon, and started his exposure to medicine at age 14 by assisting his mother in surgeries.

D

r. Khavkin started medical school in Moscow when he was 16 and, after his family relocated to the US, transferred to medical school at the University of Chicago, where he also completed his neurosurgical training.

WHY SURGERY MIGHT BE THE MOST MINIMALLY INVASIVE OPTION FOR YOU

Do you have a herniated disc, stenosis or other spine condition?

You’re not alone. In fact, over 10 million people in the United States suffer from back pain every year. But, there is hope! The Nevada Spine Clinic and the Robotic Spine Institute of Las Vegas have been helping patients for over 25 years with incredible results.

W

e are one of the few centers that offer efficient robotic, minimally invasive spinal surgery to our patients and we want to help you too!

The spine is a complex structure, and there are many different reasons for pain in the back or neck. Dr. Kornelis Poelstra, from the Robotic Spine Institute at The Nevada Spine Clinic, has personally helped to develop the latest and most modern surgical robots and techniques that have cured patients with spinal conditions, including herniated discs, sciatica, stenosis, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease and more. We’ve taken a moment to sit down with Dr. Poelstra to talk to him about his techniques:

Q: Dr. Poelstra, what is one example of a situation where surgery may the most minimally invasive option for a patient?

A: “Well, I think, first off, that patients deserve to be educated about their diagnoses and the technology we are now able to utilize for their problem. We never out of the gate, as typically, hunremitting due to failure could allow ourto. No large incisions or soft tissue dissection, as placement of 4 pedicle screws with the robot now only takes maybe 10-12 minutes and causes only a few tea spoons of blood loss.

Traditionally, that process could take up to two hours with lengthy hospital stays.

Q: How can SURGERY be MINIMALLY INVASIVE? A: Spine surgery doesn’t mean what it did in the past. With our techniques, hospital stays are very short, soft tissue recovery is fast, and blood loss is minimal, along with substantial complication reduction due to the experience with- and accuracy ofour technology. We use software to precisely pre-plan each-and-every surgery individual to each patient’s needs and use cutting edge instrumentation to complete our procedures with highly reduced operative time, allowing for a much faster recovery.“

40

All of us at the Robotic Institute of Las Vegas are proud to be at the forefront of minimally spine invasive surgery, using robotic technology to provide patients with less pain, faster recovery times, and better results. Our spine techniques can help people who have been living with chronic back or neck pain get their lives back on track without having to deal with long hospital stays or extensive blood loss. You can go home after your surgery feeling like yourself again! It’s not just about getting rid of your pain; it’s also about restoring your quality of life so you can feel great again. Our goal is to help our patients return to their active lifestyles quickly and safely by providing them with excellent care from some of the most highly-trained spine surgeons in the country.

THE CAREGIVER, DR. PAUL JANDA Dr. Paul Harlan Janda is the true embodiment of a caregiver, being the first and only Board-Certified NeurologistAttorney in the State of Nevada. Dr. Janda graduated at the University of California at Berkeley as a double major in Psychology and Molecular and Cell Biology, following that he attended the William S. Boyd School of Law.

T

hrough the balance between the two industries, Dr. Janda is fueled by helping people in the community, whether that be through providing, teaching, or giving back.

Las Vegas Neurology Center, where Dr. Janda practices along with fellow welltrained and Board-Certified Neurologists, provides inpatient and outpatient neurology services at numerous hospitals throughout the city. The Center continues ongoing research in stroke, vascular neurology, headache disorders, movement disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, dementia, and cognitive disorders. Expanding his own knowledge and understanding of the latest improvements and advancements in neurology, Dr. Janda is able to provide each and every one of his patients with state of the art and up to date technology and guidelines.

A prominent enjoyment for Dr. Janda is giving back to his community. He exhib-

its his love and care for the community by participating in charities, especially ones relating to disabilities and providing food. In the field of Neurology, he is a member of the American Headache Society, American Epilepsy Society, and Neocritical Care Society He also greatly enjoys providing patient education and student education whenever he has the opportunity. Being the Neurology Residency Program Director at Valley Hospital Medical Center, Dr. Janda cherishes his time with the neurology resident physicians, while preparing them to be board-certified neurologists.

Looking back, Dr. Janda always had fond memories of his best teachers, resulting in his love and passion for teaching. A great teacher can have a tremendous impact on his or her students, while also experiencing the fun of watching others learn and succeed. He is especially fond of his work as it involves lifelong learning and there is always something new to learn, a great deal of his time ex-

panding his education on medicine and life in general.

As a Neurologist-Attorney, you may be wondering how this incredible man can balance and continue to stay passionate in both industries. Dr. Janda greatly enjoys both medicine and law, mainly because both fields involve helping people. He loves to see the intersection and synergy between medicine and law. While he does not practice law directly, he uses his knowledge and experience in law in a teaching aspect. A vast majority of this hardworking doctor’s time is spent in the field of neurology, especially relating to teaching. His family, patient care, and teaching are the true passions that fuel the caregiver of Nevada, Dr. Paul Janda.

BEHIND THE BLADE and BEYOND THE FRAY

OSSEOINTEGRATION PART TWO

Going behind the blade and beyond the fray with Dr Ronald Hillock, the champion of Osseointegration, is always an eye-opener.

S

ince the last time we spoke, there have been a few new developments regarding the procedure of Osseointegration (OI) and its status as a novel solution for amputees. Previously, the procedure (which eliminates the need for suction socket prosthesis, as well as the discomfort caused by their usage) was not available to all amputees.

A new form of OI is now available for patients with peripheral vascular disease or diabetes mellitus. Presently, Dr. Hillock is diligently working on a solution that will make new treatments available to those who do not qualify for the original transcutaneous Osseointegration surgery.

Another effort being made in the furtherance of Osseointegration and the improvement of the quality of life for pa-

tients is the study of how phantom limb sensation and phantom limb pain affects amputees. It has been discovered that, in some cases, amputees deal with phantom limb pain for the rest of their lives. Not on Dr. Hillock’s watch! The doctor has seen promising results in this regard through Osseointegration, as well. The coupling of prosthesis with an osseointegrated connection anchored into the bone (the femur or tibia) is a solution that minimizes, and even has the potential to eliminate, phantom limb sensation for patients.

“Osseoperception” is the return of some sensation to the limb or limbs, allowing for the patient to feel the texture of things like grass or gravel. The restoration of this ability (Tactile Feedback) is extremely vital to the quality of life of pa-

tients. The benefits include the return of some motor functions and better balance.

There is also a new treatment for those who have diabetes and had amputations as a result of their condition. This option (not Osseointegration) is also available to those with Peripheral Vascular Disease, which is a condition that is mostly due to problems from tobacco use, causing restricted blood flow, thus not delivering enough oxygen to vital parts of the body.

The next innovation in the care and treatment of amputees is a procedure called Targeted Reinnervation. Wherever there is a damaged nerve, the scarring is removed, and the nerve is placed inside a muscle not previously related to itself.

This repairs and utilizes the nerve in a way that improves the patient’s overall mobility.

Making Osseointegration available to the general public is not as simple as one may believe. However, Dr. Ronald Hillock and his team are gearing up to do just that.

They’re in the final phase of clearance for FDA certification. They must first undergo the Investigational Device Evaluation, part of the FDA certification process.

This groundbreaking surgery and technology can finally be made available to all surgeons, as well as generally available to the public. Once they’ve completed the final phase of the FDA authorization process, an Investigational Device Evaluation or IDE, they will no longer be limited in the number of surgeries they can perform.

Dr. Hillock has vast experience and has worked with everyone from wounded soldiers to athletes in the Paralympics. His work will continue to be a beacon, directing the surge of innovation in surgery and staying above and beyond the fray of the medical profession.

AN ALLIANCE for GREATNESS

INCREASE VISIBILITY AND SALES

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?

D

r. 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.

This year’s recipients are amazing attorneys who achieved great success, contributed in more ways than one can name but most importantly, have had a positive influence in the community we live in.

LASSO INJURY LAW

IN

many ways attorney Al Lasso is the epitome of what Las Vegas is all about. Giving up on the security of complacency, throwing caution to the wind, betting it all and winning big in the end. This is what Al Lasso did and it paid off not only for him in winning some of the largest verdicts in the United States, but also for the safety of thousands and thousands of people he will never meet. We recently caught up with Al to discuss his journey from casino dealer to one of the most respected attorneys in Las Vegas.

HELLO AL, YOU HAVE BEEN IN LAS VEGAS FOR 30 YEARS, CAN YOU TELL US HOW YOU CAME TO VEGAS AND OWNING LASSO INJURY LAW? My journey is a little different than most attorneys. I grew up in New Jersey, in a blue-collar family. My mom was a homemaker and my dad a fireman. When I graduated from high school, I decided that college was not for me. So, while I always wanted to be an attorney, I did not go in that direction right away. In fact, I opened my own One Hour Photo business in my hometown.

OWNING A ONE HOUR PHOTO BUSINESS IN NEW JERSEY IS A LONG WAY FROM HAVING A TOP-RATED LAW FIRM IN LAS VEGAS, HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT? My brother was involved in a very severe car crash that caused him to be paralyzed from the waist down and I saw firsthand how badly he was treated by insurance companies and even attorneys. I made a vow to myself that I would one day become an attorney and make sure that none of my clients were treated that way.

That I would always take care of the “little guy” like my brother that no one else seemed to care about. 10 years out of high school I decided it was time to follow my dream.

54

THAT IS AN ADMIRABLE DREAM BUT WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE AND 10 YEARS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT DREAM WAS A LONG WAY OFF. That is very true, but that did not stop me.

I was 28 years old, and I knew it would take 7 years to complete my dream. I figured, I am going to be 35 either way, so I could be doing the same thing I am doing, or I could be an attorney helping people. I decided to sell my business, sell my home, and move to Las Vegas where I could learn how to deal craps and be able to go to school full-time while working in a casino at night full-time so I could make a living. That is what I did, packed up the family, enrolled in dealers’ school, became a craps dealer, and went to school full time at UNLV. I even worked as an extra in movies such as “Casino” to make additional money while in school. Only in a 24-hour town like Las Vegas does that opportunity present itself.

THERE WAS NO LAW SCHOOL IN LAS VEGAS BACK THEN, HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL? Ha ha yes… I guess I should have thought that through. Once I graduated college, I was accepted at Seton Hall Law School back in New Jersey. So, we packed everything up again and moved back to the East Coast. Living back there was very tough, it was great to see family and friends, but we had very little money and I was delivering pizzas to get by. We were living in a converted two car garage, which was small for a growing family, cold, and not what we had become used to in Las Vegas.

OK, THAT IS STILL A LONG WAY FROM BEING BACK IN LAS VEGAS AS AN ATTORNEY AND WINNING ONE OF THE LARGEST JURY TRIAL VERDICTS IN HISTORY FOR A SLIP AND FALL CASE.

You know the lure of Las Vegas and the beauty of living here is tough to get out of one’s system and of course the opportunities here are unlike anywhere else.

We wanted to move back. I had a friend I dealt craps with whose wife played golf with a Judge and gave out my resume to the Judges in Clark County. Judge Bonaventure, one of the most highly respected and acclaimed jurists in Las Vegas, was looking to hire a law clerk and took a chance on me. So, for the last time, we once again packed up the U-Hauls and made the final trip back across the country to Las Vegas. I was very fortunate in that one of the first cases I worked on as a law clerk was the infamous and worldwide publicized case of the Ted Binion murder trial. I also was the Law clerk for the Jeremy Strohmeyer re-hearing and the Margaret Rudin “Black Widow” murder trial. Those cases really gave me an “into the frying pan” experience in learning the law. I learned much more than anything I ever learned in any law school class. Later, I would be privileged to be hired by the best criminal defense attorney in Las Vegas, Dominic Gentile, who taught me a lot about defending my clients.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE STORY OF YOUR RETURNING TO LAS VEGAS HAD A BIT OF DESTINY TO IT? I’d like to think that fate played a hand in it but either way it does make for a great story.

When I was selected to be Judge Bonaventure’s Law clerk, we had no money to get back to Las Vegas. Basically, we had spent everything we had getting me through law school. The move back would be costly. I just could not ask family and friends, without who we never would have made it that far, for anymore help. At the last minute, I had entered my name in a New York Radio station contest.

WE FIGHT FOR YOU It was a contest where if you heard your name on the radio, you had 20 minutes to call in. Once you called in, thirty-six of us would meet on the beach and pull a key out of a fishbowl. Then each of us would have a chance to start a Jeep Wrangler, if your key starts the Jeep, you win two Jeeps. A month later, I found myself on that beach, the 21st in line, as everyone in front of me tried to start the Jeep with the key they had pulled out. With no one in front of me having started the Jeep, it was my turn. I prayed for my key to work as I turned it in the ignition and after a couple of coughs and sputters, the Jeep started, and I won the two Jeeps. We took those winnings and used it to get us all to Vegas and start my legal career.

AS AN ATTORNEY, YOU WON A 16.4 MILLION DOLLAR JURY VERDICT AGAINST A LARGE HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE AS WELL AS A 20 MILLION DOLLAR VERDICT AGAINST AN HOA. HOW DID YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES HELP YOU TO BECOME THE LAWYER YOU ARE TODAY? Although my brother has now left us, I like to think I am still fighting for him.

From the smallest of cases to the biggest ones, I treat all my clients like family. I have dedicated my law practice to fighting for the people who have been injured by the negligence of others and to hold them accountable for their actions. I focus on getting my clients the most compensation they deserve so they can move on with their lives.

YOU ARE A SMALL FIRM, HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO OBTAIN SUCH LARGE VERDICTS? We are a boutique firm; we do not accept every case that walks in the door. I do not want Lasso Injury Law to become one of those giant firms where non-attorneys work on the cases and they do not even know who you are. We are very selective

about our cases because when we take on a case, we dive into every detail and personally speak to each and every client.

Being a small firm allows us to devote the time needed to each of our cases. We are a hands-on firm, but we also spare no expense for our clients when it comes to experts, investigators, and co-advocates for trials.

FINALLY, WHAT IS THE MOST SATISFYING THING ABOUT THOSE VERDICTS? Many people think it is the money and do not get me wrong, I am very happy that my clients will be taken care of for the rest of their lives. However, to me, it is knowing that the home improvement store has changed their watering polices all over the country in an attempt to ensure that no one else will suffer the brain injury my client did. It is also to know that HOA’s everywhere will now inspect their swing sets monthly to ensure that the metal parts are not rusted out and in danger of collapsing, saving young children from severe head injuries. That is truly the most satisfying thing about being a trial attorney and I will continue to always fight for my clients like they are family.

BRACE FOR IMPACT: THE PASSION THAT DRIVES

HEIDARI LAW GROUP By: Daryl K. Jones

SAM

Heidari, the principle of the Heidari Law Group, was inspired to practice law because he wanted to have a positive impact on the rights and civil liberties of his clients. To understand what drives him, you have to consider the entire story. Like so many other exceptional people, attorney Sam Heidari started as an immigrant to the US. His passion was sparked by what he had seen happen to others around him as a boy.

Growing up in a country which by his own admission had a justice system which pales in comparison to what we have here in the States, he felt a responsibility to help others at an early age.

Attorney Sam Heidari started out doing business litigation. However, this did not fulfill his urge to make a difference in the lives of individual citizens. The hallmark of their service is "competent and ethical lawyering." The people that Heidari Law Group services are injured, hurt, or had their personal rights infringed upon, and Sam Heidari feels that helping these people is his true calling.

The attorneys at Heidari Law Group are fighters, and there are several other factors that make them different from other law firms. First, they are not a trial-only firm.

They are involved in the process from A to Z. Also, they are not a personal injury "mill." Firms like that get a case and pass

56

it off to another firm to handle the litigation if, and when they drop the ball. Not the Heidari Law Group. They take a case, and if it needs to be litigated, they handle the litigation from the drafts of the lawsuits all the way up to the final judgment after trial. This is a massive undertaking but they take the phrase "protecting your client's interest" very seriously. They pride themselves on the 3 D’s: Diligence, Determination, and Dedication. According to Sam Heidari, these three words encompass the core values of Heidari Law Group, P.C., in the courtroom, the conference room, and out in public.

For those looking to hire an attorney, Heidari advises that one should do their due diligence. "If the attorney is practicing in the field of personal injury and charges you a consultation fee, that's a red flag for me," states Heidari. While this approach isn't unethical, personal injury clients are often unable to work, dealing with expensive and accruing medical bills, and are under great psychological pressure as well.

The last thing they need is to have to pay a consultation fee up front to speak to an attorney. It is this protective "watchdog" mind state and commitment to best practices that makes Heidari Law Group one of the fastest growing law firms in Nevada, with a track record of recovering millions for their clients.

So, what's next for Heidari Law Group?

They have multiple trials starting in both Nevada and California, and their lawyers are already in that "full-court press" mind state. Also, they will continue to look towards expansion to be able to bring more of the competent, ethical representation from which they have become known. They already serve clients in Las Vegas, Sacramento and Orange County, but they never take their eyes off the ball regarding when and where they can protect the rights of the people.

We celebrate Heidari Law Group, P.C. for being a beacon of hope for the infirmed, and a champion for the rights of those who are suffering. Simply put, Heidari Law Group puts the "personal" In personal injury representation. It is no wonder then, that Sam Heidari is one of our Top 100 Lawyers and one of the Best of MyVegas 2022.

We thank them for their diligent service.

By: Daryl K. Jones

n 2013, Michael C. Kane founded THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys. That statement sounds as matter of fact as it comes, that is until you understand the story behind the story.

One factor that makes THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys different from other legal practices is the leadership. One of the principals, Michael C. Kane not only has prolific legal experience, but a degree in biological science. This gives THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys an advantage. They have access to a wealth of knowledge regarding the injuries sustained by their clients, as well as the quality-of-life experienced while, and after their clients recover.

It’s kind of difficult to fool these attorneys if you’re on their radar.

Attorney Kane used to represent the insurance companies himself.

He first worked on the defense side of the aisle, and the irony is that he went from representing the “big guys” to standing up for the “little guy”. Therefore, he has extensive experience with the way insurance companies structure their defenses, what loopholes they seek to use, and many other tricks and tactics employed by the insurance companies. I’d rue the day that I would have to face these attorneys in court if I was one of these corporations.

With this vast expertise, THE702FIRM Injury attorneys are the ones to call. Along with Attorney Kane, attorneys Bradley J. Myers (the other principal of the firm) and Joel Hengstler (who was elevated to partner by Brad and Mike in 2021) are involved in the case process from beginning to end with their clients, and that includes all case prep as well. It’s assuring to have the support of attorneys like Bradley Myers, who handles injury cases of all magnitudes, but primarily focuses on catastrophic injuries and wrongful death for THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys. This includes motor vehicle accidents, insurance bad faith, slip and fall, wrongful death, dog bite, and product liability cases. Attorney Myers previously worked with insurance companies as well. Needless to say, he’s a valued asset when litigating, and he has been one for 18 years and counting.

58

With a background in family law, estate planning, and criminal defense, as well as experience with workers’ compensation, Joel Hengstler became a partner of THE702FIRM injury attorneys in 2021. Attorney Hengstler has handled thousands of personal injury matters, exclusively representing injured parties. THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys have three $3,000,000 settlements, and consistently receive referrals from other pre-litigation attorneys. This makes them the “lawyer’s lawyer”, in effect. According to Attorney Kane, “We take cases that other firms would turn down because they’re too complex or they don’t see a way to win. But we find ways to resolve them.” Perhaps, this is yet another factor that makes them different from the others.

Well-rounded attorneys, great service, and desirable results. These are the hallmarks of a great firm. We celebrate THE702FIRM Injury Attorneys for protecting us from the greed of the bad apples in the insurance industry, and being there for us as a source of support in our most trying times. We can hardly wait to see what's next for this firm

LEGAL PROBLEMS ARE HARD

LET AT EASE LAW MAKE THEM EASIER

I

ts name inspired by making even the most stressful legal processes painless, At Ease Law is Las Vegas’ bestand easiest- choice for legal representation in Las Vegas.

Melissa Barry, the firm’s Owner and Lead Attorney, has one goal in mind: tackling your legal problems with ease. With her focus set on criminal defense, family law and estate planning, Melissa has a passion for helping people with their most personal and serious cases. We are pleased to introduce Melissa to our readers as one of our MYVEGAS Top 100 Lawyers of 2022.

WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO LAS VEGAS? WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT LAS VEGAS? My family moved here when I was a senior in high school. I attended college at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. After that I went back to Ohio for law school, but it was here that was my home so as soon as I completed law school I came back. I love the diversity and various cultures that you can find here. I love the world class entertainment, the weather, and the restaurants.

Las Vegas is home.

WHAT AREAS DOES YOUR PRACTICE PRIMARILY FOCUS ON? I focus on criminal defense and estate planning, while also doing a significant amount of family law. Each of these areas of law are surprisingly related. My passion is helping people when they need it the most. These areas of law let me help people in ways that play to my strengths so I can be the best advocate for them.

BEING A TRIAL LAWYER, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT BEING IN THE COURTROOM? I love the competition. I always joke, or maybe not joke, that “I don’t come to play.

I come to win.” And it’s true. But it’s not just about winning. I prepare thoroughly so that I know the case better than anyone else. It’s the challenge. As a trial lawyer, I must know the law of my case without having to research. I must actively listen to questions and answers and know the objections. I must preserve my client’s rights for appeal. A lot of that is done in the courtroom and takes a very specialized expertise.

WHAT CAN A CLIENT EXPECT WHEN THEY CHOOSE YOU TO REPRESENT THEM? My clients can expect the best. We represent our clients to the best of our ability- every single time.

We also value the customer service aspect of business. We strive to make our clients feel like they have a friend walking them through the challenges they are facing.

We know that when faced with any legal issue, knowledgeable, friendly, and caring support is necessary while getting results. We’re proud to offer an ease that can’t be found anywhere else.

WHAT KEEPS YOU MOTIVATED IN YOUR FIELD? I circle back to my passion to help people, and wherever I can do that is where I want to be. People come to me with a problem for me to solve for them. Whether the problem is a recent arrest or citation, a custody battle or divorce, or taking care of family members when they are not able to, I get to help them navigate the legal system and achieve their goals.

hen making the decision on who you would like to represent you in your legal matter, it is incredibly important to choose a firm that is passionate about advocating for your rights.

Through this experience, Jennifer has acquired a keen understanding of the potential consequences that criminal charges may bear upon on one’s current or prospective employment, especially in the public sector. Today, Jennifer applies her criminal defense experience to analyze the legal ramifications of the criminal

charges faced by her nonimmigrant and immigrant clients to avoid removal/deportation.

Jennifer graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor of Science, double major in Computer Science and Economics. She earned her Juris Doctorate from New York Law School.

emaining in love with Las Vegas and all that the city has to offer, Christopher loves to give back to the community through his work in the law and with groups such as the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada.

We had the chance to speak with Christopher about his firm and why his work is important to him.

What brought you to Las Vegas?

And what do you love about Las Vegas?

I am originally from Canada and when I first decided to become a lawyer, I sent law school applications for the schools with the best average weather temperatures. I got into law schools on both coasts but UNLV offered me a scholarship and so I came to visit the school and fell in love with this city and the people here immediately. I love the small town feel with big city amenities that Las Vegas has to offer – there is no other place like it on earth.

What initially interested you about the law industry and what keeps you coming back?

I’m not sure how many practicing lawyers really choose to become lawyers – I’m starting to think that they were just born that way. You hear people all the time talking about how good they would be as attorneys because they love to argue and I’m always glad that those people never end up actually doing law. Being a lawyer is about representing people. The best lawyers I know are skilled negotiators who focus on getting the best results for their clients, they are not people that enjoy argument for its own sake. At the end of the day, this is a people business, and helping people is my main priority each and every day.

What areas does your practice primarily focus on?

Connell Law focusses in the areas of Personal Injury, Real Estate, and Business Litigation.

What can a client expect when they choose you to represent them?

The main thing that my clients appreciate is that we answer our phones and strive to provide the very best in customer service to each and every client. I am always surprised when I hear that simply answering our phones or responding timely is what the customer is most impressed by.

How do you enjoy getting involved in the Las Vegas community?

I am absolutely enamored with this city and my firm takes a great deal of pride in our local citizenship. We have sponsored amateur athletics, including the Boys and Girls Club of Southern Nevada, we have participated with multiple fundraising efforts, and we have taken on several cases, pro bono, for the benefit of this town and the people who live here.

NOTHING LESS THAN SUCCESS Achieving success as a trial lawyer is no accident. For over 20 years, Brian Harris has been a Plaintiff’s trial lawyer with one goal in mind—consistently winning for his clients. Of course, over two decades, it hasn’t been easy.

H

owever, with every challenge faced, Brian has been able to keep his focus steady. When asked how he has managed to build a successful law practice even through the recession, the pandemic, and other challenging times, Brian has a simple answer: anticipate, plan ahead, and always stay focused on what matters, the client. Over the course of his career, Brian has been part of large law firms with many partners. In 2008, he and his wife and current law partner, Heather Harris, decided they wanted to do things their own way and founded Harris & Harris Injury Lawyers.

When asked why he prefers to run a 3-lawyer practice, his answer is simple: accountability. “My priority is focusing on client care. When you have 3 lawyers in the firm, we all focus on getting the best result in each and every case. I work on every case for every client. Ultimately, the buck stops with me. That is a respon-

66

sibility I take incredibly seriously. I’m not satisfied until I know I’ve achieved the best result for every client.” When asked how Harris & Harris has continued to thrive during the current pandemic, Brian says, “No matter the challenge faced, or how we shift strategies to face them, our focus is always the same. We know the value of each case and the impact and challenges each client is facing as a result of their injuries. We fight to get the best possible result for every client. By making client satisfaction a central part of our mission, communicating closely with our clients (especially during difficult times), we are able to make sure their needs are being met. Nothing is more important to me as the managing partner.”

Communication is the key. As we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, and consider the future, Harris & Harris has found new ways to stay in touch with clients more easily and efficiently. By staying in closer contact with clients, it makes

it easier for them to understand exactly what is happening in their case. Says Brian, “By taking some of the lessons we’ve learned in the pandemic, and incorporating them into our long-term plans for the firm, we are able to ensure success for our clients. Only when we achieve the best outcome for our clients, can we achieve success for ourselves as lawyers. I am satisfied with nothing less than success.”

Brian K. Harris is the managing partner of Harris & Harris Injury Lawyers, a three-lawyer firm with a focus on excellent personal client representation and achieving the best possible result for each client in every case.

THEONELAWYER.COM FOR ALL YOUR PERSONAL INJURY NEEDS Attorney Laura Payne has the right combination of experience, dedication and compassion.

I

t’s not something anyone likes to think about, but statistics indicate that most of us will be involved in an accident at some point. When that happens, anxiety can really kick in. We’re constantly bombarded by billboards, commercials, and ads for personal injury attorneys in Las Vegas—what should you look for when choosing representation?

It’s important to find an attorney that is not only experienced in personal injury law, but is tenacious, compassionate, and attentive as well. Those are attributes Laura Payne has in spades. She is the attorney behind TheOneLawyer. com and also heads up the valley’s premier boutique personal injury firm. We

recently asked her to share with us what has motivated her to provide exemplary legal representation with a decidedly personal touch for over twenty years.

What sparked your interest in becoming an attorney?

When pursuing my undergrad at UNLV, I majored in journalism and worked at the school newspaper and radio station. One of my favorite things about that experience was interviewing people and learning about the issues they were facing.

And while journalism helped me shine a light on people’s problems, it didn’t provide a path to help. That’s what I love so much about the law. Now, I still get to hear people’s stories, but I’m also able to help them solve their problems, too.

treat you as a number—and how frustrating and painful that can be.

When you retain me, you work directly with me. My clients are often stressed, fearful and confused at our first consultation. They frequently tell me that no one else has explained or listened to them as clearly as I have. They’ll start the conversation with, “I don’t want to bother you.”

My reply is always the same: “You aren’t bothering me. I work for you, and if you have a question, never hesitate to call or text me!” I treat every client as though they are my only client.

Why did you choose to focus on personal injury law?

I considered becoming a public defender, but after two years working in the criminal system, I decided I wanted to advocate for people who had been wronged by large corporations and insurance companies. What better way to prepare myself to do that than by working within that system?

What legal services do you provide?

I represent every client on a personal, compassionate and professional level whether they were involved in a car, truck, boat, bus, motorcycle or slip- andfall accident. I’m licensed to practice law in all courts in the state of Nevada and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am also admitted to practice in Texas and California. I’m a member of the American Bar Association, the Clark County Bar Association, and the Southern Nevada Women’s Bar Association.

I spent over nine years as a staff attorney for large insurance company. There, I gained the experience and knowledge to not only try cases but to understand how insurance companies review and determine the value of cases. This has given me an insight into the business that few other attorneys possess.

What do you love about Las Vegas?

I grew up here. It’s where my family and friends live and where I am raising my three sons. I’m just as passionate about our community as I am my clients. I support several youth sports leagues and volunteer frequently with community outreach charities. When I am not working or attending my sons’ baseball games, you’ll find me practicing yoga, skiing or riding ATVs. MV

What sets your practice apart?

My primary strengths as an attorney are personal service and years of experience. I have purposefully kept my practice small so I can provide one-on-one help to each of my clients. I understand how insurance companies

THE JONATHAN WEBER DIFFERENCE At the end of the day, there is no replacement for personal service to your clients.

Attorney Jonathan Weber has experienced many approaches to the attorney-client relationship in his 21 years of work at larger Las Vegas firms, small firms, defense and plaintiff’s firms, in litigation, mediation and in pre-litigation. And no matter the law firm, clients need answers to their questions and concerns, details of progress, and an overall view of how their case is going.

Personal attention, paired with timely and consistent client communication is a standard he holds himself to as a personal-injury solo practitioner in an increasingly competitive arena dominated by billboard law firms with million-dollar ad campaigns and slick media slogans.

But there is an advantage to managing your own solo law firm: you know your clients very well, and they know you.

Most law firms employ an army of legal assistants and paralegals that effectively “wall off” the handling attorney from actually speaking to clients. (Try calling a large law firm and ask to speak with an attorney – at best you’ll talk to a paralegal who can’t give legal advice, or just be transferred to the attorney’s voicemail - that’s it.) Jonathan takes calls directly from his clients and reaches out proactively. Direct communication regarding case status gives Jonathan’s clients the level of personal service they need and respect they deserve. It’s the difference between simply being a number, and having your needs taken seriously. It’s Jonathan’s personal service for his client’s personal injuries. MV

Jared Richards wasn’t always interested in law as he is today. Originally focused on his music career, Jared sang in musicals and operas, planning to get his masters and PhD. in music. Until Jared’s family suffered a tragic loss in his final year of college. His uncle, a lawyer, stepped in and acted as a crisis manager for the family.

T

his event inspired Jared to do the same for others, ultimately graduating with a music degree and entering law school. After three years of training in litigation at a major law firm, Jared started representing personal injury victims and came to the realization that this was his calling. After representing one motorcycle rider, over the years Jared represented more and more riders and became friends with many of his clients, eventually buying a Harley Davidson of his own.

“I don’t think there is a more diverse, yet close knit group in all the world. All drawn together for the love of the sport, the love of the road, and a love of the freedom of being on a bike,” Jared states, regarding his love for the motorcycle community.

Jared says the freedom of the road is like nothing else, but the dangers are very real.

No matter how tough and skilled you are, being on a bike causes you to be vulnerable to external forces beyond your control. To promote rider safety, Jared actively supports riding seminars and regularly offers scholarships to accident scene management courses. One important case the firm has coming up involves motorcycle riders and their civil rights. Jared and his team have taken this case to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, only one step below the United States Supreme Court. The ruling of this court will affect all Nevadans and help protect their rights.

Jared has recovered millions of dollars for his clients.

Jared is not just about protecting the cycling community. The team is hoping to resume providing free wills as a service to local seniors, which has been put on pause due to the COVID-19 shutdown. The team at Full Throttle is also co-sponsoring with a local rider and driver’s education foundation MATTRS, hoping to encourage drivers to be more aware of motorcycle riders and help riders find greater safety on the road.

STORMING THE TELEVISION!

“Legalmente” with Attorney Victor Cardoza and Journalist Rosario Grajales: Explaining the Law to the Latino Community on Univision!

A

ccident?

Injured?

Arrested? Most people have no plan when bad things happen. Even worse, most people do not know what to do to protect their legal rights. Attorney Victor Cardoza and Journalist Rosario Grajales work daily to be a source of information and education for the people of Las Vegas using social media posts, video podcasts, and their television show, “Legalmente”, airing weekly, between 8 am and 9 pm, Thursday mornings on Univision. Victor and Rosario are devoted to helping people understand their legal rights and options.

Born in Los Angeles, California, to Mexican immigrant parents, Victor was raised to appreciate the value of obtaining an education. He studied and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles. After working as a clerk for several law firms in Los Angeles’ Westwood and Century City communities, he then moved to Moscow, Idaho, to begin his studies at the University of Idaho College of Law. His law school class was honored to have the great trial lawyer, Mr. Gerry Spence, as the graduation speaker. Mr. Spence stressed that lawyers should work to help people, to help the community, and to share their skill with those in need.

72

A lawyer’s goal should not be to just get a job with a “big corporation”. Victor has never forgotten this. A licensed Nevada attorney since 1995, Victor has become an experienced civil litigation attorney, practicing primarily in the area of personal injury law. To date, he has taken thousands of cases to court.

Rosario is a bilingual journalist, entrepreneur and author. She was born in the Republic of Panama and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism. She started her career at a national TV station in Panama and is a former news anchor/reporter with Univision in Las Vegas. During the span of her career, Rosario has had the opportunity to interview and meet many high profile personalities, including Senator Bernie Sanders, President Bill Clinton, champion boxers Floyd Mayweather and Mike Tyson, actress Eva Longoria, and many others celebrities and newsmakers. Rosario currently owns and operates a media and communications consulting company based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Victor and Rosario look to do more. They are the regular producers of informative legal videos on social media. For two years they presented their radio show, Legalmente con Victor Cardoza, on ESPN’s

Radio Las Voz De Nevada on 1460 AM, providing news and legal information for our great Las Vegas community. Last year, Victor and Rosario moved on to Spanish television, taking their awesome show to screen where it is now Legalmente on Univision De Nevada. Recent shows have addressed diverse legal issues, including the law related to the COVID-19 pandemic, automobile collisions, insurance law, legal rights concerning the 2nd and 4th Amendments, and accidents in the workplace. Victor and Rosario are proud to announce that they have now completed over 50 television episodes of Legalmente!

Helping our community understand diverse legal issues, Victor and Rosario are a team providing an incredible resource for those needing legal questions answered or representation in tough situations. They are proud to provide great information on television and social media.

The truth is: We will never see an accident coming. But the best thing you can do is be prepared and have a great time behind you! MV Attorney Victor Cardoza (702)998-7111 www.AttorneyVictorCardoza.com 531 S. 7th St. Las Vegas, NV 89101

THE DRASKOVICH LAW GROUP

ROBERT DRASKOVICH AND W. MICHAEL HORVATH

Nationally recognized as being the masters of their trade, The Draskovich Law Group in Las Vegas, NV, is distinguished in the field of Criminal Defense. Based on over 28 years of dedicated and knowledgeable representation, the firm has defended over 100 cases through trial with cutting-edge advocacy.

T

he Draskovich Law Group is led by founder and owner, Robert Draskovich, and Criminal Defense Attorney, W. Michael Horvath. Together, they are a team to be reckoned with, and a pair of MYVEGAS’ Top Lawyers of the Year.

Robert Draskovich began his practice in 1997. Possessing an industrious spirit, Mr. Draskovich has always been drawn to a trial practice. Similarly, W. Michael Hor-

vath was initially attracted to becoming a trial lawyer while working in a firm as a high school student; later, he found that The Draskovich Law Group was the perfect place to hone his skills. Although many criminal cases are negotiated, the firm believes that it is better to negotiate a case from a position of strength and knowledge, based upon solid trial preparation, than merely to negotiate a case “hat in hand” with a prosecutor suspecting that defense counsel is not prepared to prevail at trial.

Since their inception, The Draskovich Law Group has continuously delivered a

remarkable track record of results, while taking on many “out of the ordinary” cases. The Firm offers a wide range of criminal representation, including but not limited to federal crimes, sex crimes, murder, theft, and fraud. The Draskovich Law Group’s tenacity is unmatched, not only offering 28 years of trial experience to any case, but also applying strategies that are unheard of in most criminal law firms. These attorneys go the distance for their clients.

Being a boutique law firm, The Draskovich Law Group calls upon a qualified team of experts and provides unparalleled investigation of their cases. “We bring a substantial amount of experience, creativity, and the use of science into each client’s case,” states Draskovich. Being a trial lawyer is what some might call a meticulous endeavor. However, Draskovich and Horvath find no impediment to fighting every detail that they can.

Innovation and the art of advocacy are alive and well at The Draskovich Law Group. “We successfully defend cases year in and year out,” states Draskovich.

“Our law firm fights hard for our clients, standing up for people when no one else will.” Robert Draskovich has earned many accolades, including being recognized

by Super Lawyers every year since 2007; he is named in US News’ Best Lawyers of America; He has received an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale Hubble “the highest rating a lawyer can achieve”; and has been included in The Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers since 2011.

Upon meeting Draskovich and Horvath, they may joke and laugh with their easy-going, sarcastic dialogue, but these attorneys are as capable and serious as they come.

MYREAL ESTATE 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!

MYREAL ESTATE

REAL ESTATE in LAS VEGAS Darren Pohl Shares His Industry Insight

A Seattle native, I moved to Las Vegas 12 years ago and haven’t looked back since. Growing up in a family with Real Estate Brokers, Real Estate became imbedded in my everyday life and gave me an “insider” perspective that most don’t get to experience.

I

love interior design, architecture, and the excitement of the “sale.” On a daily basis, I get the opportunity to help someone navigate one of the largest milestones in their lives and exceed client expectations.

Las Vegas is an incredible city with so much opportunity. We have year-round sunshine, incredible resorts, fashion, cuisine, sports, and entertainment. With such a large amount of REALTORS joining the industry in the Las Vegas Valley, I find it extremely important to maintain a high level of standards, ethics, and compassion for our communities and clients.

Homeownership is becoming increasingly challenging given today’s market conditions and it’s why now, more than ever, consumers must align themselves with a professional.

Since joining Huntington and Ellis, I have challenged myself to deliver personalized service. I have helped hundreds of families obtain homeownership across all different price points and product lines.

I assist clients with moving, lease backs, new construction timelines, contingencies, and even cleaning homes before a final walk through. Every transaction I facilitate is done with the utmost care, respect, and empathy. I strive to further my knowledge through education with Title Companies, Lenders, Builders and community leaders to better serve my clients.

My client testimonials are a reflection of

80

my persistence and ongoing support to help achieve their individual goals.

For several years, I had the opportunity to work with a large homebuilder and sell multiple product lines across the Las Vegas Valley. I consider it a huge value-add when you can speak to the processes of a New Construction Build. It’s extremely important to set expectations with surrounding build timelines, deposit requirements, design options, lot premiums, incentives, and be able to navigate builder’s individual purchase agreements.

Buying a brand-new home is an amazing experience but can be overwhelming with the amount of information a client has to absorb. It’s a lot of decision making up front and in the majority of cases, you’re in contract 9-12 months before closing, so it’s important to stay engaged throughout the process and keep a consistent dialogue. I always strive to set my clients up for long term success and make sure they don’t “over-content” the home, so they are in a strong equity position amongst the neighborhood.

TIPS FOR MY SELLERS: We’re in a highly competitive market with suppressed inventory, so it’s easy for sellers to think they can list their home without positioning the property right from the beginning. It’s important for sellers not to get “lazy,” or try and undercut certain processes to save money. With so many buyers purchasing homes site unseen, I

advise all my clients to ensure they have exceptional photography, Matterport tours, drone shots, home videos and virtual staging/regular staging if the home is vacant. It doesn’t matter if the home is $200k or $12 million, a consumer will spend 30 seconds or less viewing their property online. Your photos and listing verbiage need to highlight the features and benefits that make the home unique, and create a proposition for a buyer that’s intriguing. It’s also important that sellers understand who they are marketing their home to. Is it a lifestyle buyer? Family buyer? Active adult? If you know your demographic and spend the time to position correctly, you’ll typically bypass most objections and secure a sale faster!

I personally live in Summerlin and LOVE all the lifestyle benefits it offers. When I’m not selling Real Estate, I am spending time with my wife and son. We enjoy Downtown Summerlin, walks in the park, Baseball games, and a great glass of wine and steak. Las Vegas has been the perfect home for my family and, I’m sure, for families across the valley. I would love to help you when you’re in search for your next real estate venture or plan to sell your home.

PUSHING LIMITS THE

AN UNWAVERING COMMITMENT FOR FOSTERING STRONG, LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS IS AT THE FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING GEORGE KYPREOS DOES.

H

is deeply ingrained work ethic is a quality that his parents, Peter and Geri, instilled in him at an early age and is what drives him to set a great example for his daughter. A legacy of pushing beyond the limits is what motivates him to work tirelessly to achieve his best and help others do so as well.

With experience comes wisdom, and Kypreos knows that to accomplish amazing things you need a dynamic team alongside you. He strives to inspire, mentor, and partner with agents to not only excel personally and professionally but, to ensure that as an industry, real estate professionals meet the high standards of providing Valley residents with their dream home buying or selling experience.

George is proud to be a Las Vegas and Green Valley native and is focused on showing locals, transplants, and visitors just how wonderful, resilient, and inspirational our city really is. He is propelled by a profound respect for the deeply personal connection families have in choosing the place they call home. Kypreos is dedicated to ensuring that his clients’ needs, wishes, and time are of the utmost priority. George’s passion for real estate and helping to strengthen the community has not gone unnoticed. He and his brokerage have earned various accolades for their dedication to providing excellent client service and assisting them in finding their perfect place in the Valley to live for years to come.

George’s enthusiasm for creating strong bonds in the community comes from his experience as a former

professional Chef at his family-owned restaurant. As a result of his years of giving his customers a memorable, comforting taste of what Las Vegas has to offer, his flair for making those who he meets feel at home, comes from the heart. It is of no surprise to find George’s creative intellect and genuine love for people extends to the real estate industry.

He knows that without a talented team, providing effortless service would not be achievable. For this reason, he enjoys collaborating with agents within and outside of his brokerage to help them realize their unlimited potential.

“No limit” is his motto and he welcomes the opportunity to inspire others to reach their goals. George shared some insight to what has contributed to his success over the years. “What I find is the biggest mistake people make in their career is they're afraid to ask for the business. A very wise man once told me, ‘If you don't ask, you won't get.’” George recollects one of the many instances where that advice rang true. “True story, that isn’t my dog in the picture. A lady was walking by while I was taking some photos and I asked her if I could borrow her dog for one of them. This proves my point, speak up and ask for what you are looking for.

What's the worst thing that can happen?”

With more than 25 years in business, George is also no stranger to hard work.

He understands that through times of adversity, there is always an opportunity to renew your focus, lean on others when needed, be the one who provides a helping hand, or simply be a resource of added motivation for those who just need a little guidance in challenging times. In these exceptional times, we are reminded that situations may not always be familiar or comfortable. However, this provides the opportunity for us to push the boundaries of what we never thought were possible. In that fashion, George approaches these times with optimism and excitement of what is yet to come for our communities, our families, the real estate industry, and us as individuals to empower each other to exceed our greatest aspirations. Carpe diem.

JARED WEISS

ALWAYS IN MOTION “Help your community and give to others and your life will be full.”

T

motivated flipping houses and doing Real Estate in Las Vegas, just with the satisfaction of watching my city grow and boom.

They now get to see what I’ve always seen in Las Vegas,” says Jared.

here is nothing stronger than the power of motivation. MYVEGAS has seen this power come to life within Jared Weiss, a local real estate investor and owner of Motion Properties, who has remained dedicated and motivated since a young age. There was nothing he couldn’t do once he set his mind to it, and along the way, realized that the real reward in success is being able to give back and serve.

Originally from New York, Jared made his way to Vegas when he was 19 years old to attend the University of Nevada Las Vegas, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts. Bringing with him nothing but a dream and the motivation to be a true entrepreneur, Las Vegas met him with incredible opportunities. A city full of growth and potential, Jared got to work.

Realizing how new the city was and how much development still needed to be done, Jared began laying his claim in the Real Estate industry. After the purchase of his first home, he started to fix up houses to later sell and flip for profit. There was so much potential in some older homes that just needed some TLC to get it to a good selling point. Jared enjoys the process of the remodel.

While it started with just one house, it began building into a business model for Jared, expanding from one house at a time to thousands.

Jared opened his own real estate company called Motion Properties, noting his constant motivation to stay in motion.

In Jared’s eyes, no means yes and stop means go. And he has always been this way, it’s how he was made. But it’s gotten him where he is, so we’d firmly say it’s working for him. “It’s how I’m able to stay

Although Jared would admit that profit was always something he’s gone after, there was so much more to what he was able to accomplish. Along with the opportunities he was able to seize, he wanted to create his own opportunities for people to benefit. He saw a chance to use his real estate skills to help people see the true value of preserving the history of Muhammad Ali’s childhood home.

Jared shares his experience of seeing Muhammad Ali speak during Black history month with Mike Tyson, while he was a student at UNLV. He remembers being moved by his inspiration and attitude, and felt that they had much in common, believing that anything is possible and can be done if you put the work behind it. When he saw Ali’s childhood home in shambles, in that moment, purchasing the home in Louisville, Kentucky and remodeling it to its original 1940’s glory would be the right thing to do. It would be the chance to let not only the neighborhood kids, but the whole world see where the greatest of all time came from.

Proving to Muhammad’s fans that, “Your surroundings or upbringing does not define you. You are defined by your fight and grit,” as Jared says.

After remodeling, Jared thought it would be important to let the whole world see the newly remodeled pink home. When Muhammed sadly passed away, the funeral procession drove by the home and the people were so grateful to see the same color it was when he was a child. Jared recalls, “Thousands of people came and dropped flowers and saw it, and I felt so proud that it wasn’t left how it was

Your surroundings or upbringing does not define you.

You are defined by your fight and grit.”

before.” The home was in media around the world and featured on the cover of The Wall Street Journal, and it inspired him to do more for this small Kentucky community.

“That made me feel like it needed to be open for the world to see and not only that, but it started my nonprofit- allowing the rest of the neighborhood to be remodeled and redone so all of the people that are from the west end of Louisville could have new life breathed into their community.” And with the addition of the Muhammad Ali Childhood Home Museum, the Nonprofit was born. The walls inside filled with memorabilia of Ali’s greatest fights and memories, you can truly feel the essence of Muhammad Ali when you walk through the home.

Jared shines when he is serving his community, wherever that may be. His motivation to help and serve led him to another opportunity to give back. As many people may be unaware, there are a couple thousand children in foster care in Clark County alone. Jared says, “We started fostering a few years back and have had five babies in our home. The joy of giving them a safe place to heal and a safe

place while their parents heal is a very rewarding process.”

Jared’s wife, Laura, is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and co-owns the Rooted Life Counseling Center. She has always had a heart for families and children, and together, they feel strongly about being a voice for foster care in our community. Not only to help children and work with the parents, but also to be a voice for the change that needs to happen in the system. “My wife and I are adopting twins out of the foster care system that we’ve had since birth they’ll be an addition to our family making us the parents of six children,” Jared adds.

Motivation and the drive to do anything he wants to accomplish has landed Jared Weiss in incomparable success. Success to Jared is his ability to give back to the community that has given him so much.

“I think what I’ve loved most about my journey is God showing our family that giving back and serving is where all the reward has come from,” Jared attests to his dedication. Whether it’s through his appreciation for boxing, his persistence and knowledge in real estate investing, or helping families, there is always some-

thing Jared can do, as long as he stays in motion. In his words, “Help your community and give to others and your life will be full.” MV Jared Weiss Motion Properties Motioncorp.com 702-262-9000 S.0068526

SERVICE IS EVERYTHING

PERSONIFYING THE DIFFERENCE WITH NATE STRAGER Philanthropist and owner of Rhythms Event Center, Nate Strager is a rare breed of realtor. He’s constantly exploring ways to add more value to every situation with which he is involved. Nate Strager built his business with Luxury Estates International primarily on two core values: “Service is everything” and “You deserve great service.”

F

or 18 years, Nate Strager has been successfully helping his clients receive the best possible advantages in their real estate transactions. From residential to commercial, Mr. Strager has used his expertise to give every potential property owner the kind of service that is usually reserved for only millionaires. Born in Long Beach, California, Nate Strager moved to Las Vegas around the age of five. Being a resident of the Silver State for that long gives him a unique perspective of not only the market, but the people who comprise that market. This is partly what drives him to adopt the business model that he has implemented for over a decade.

Regardless of the industry in which one participates, the one thing that connects us all is that we are all consumers. As consumers, we all have the realistic expectation of great service.

Drawing from his own experiences with this, Nate Strager is empathetic to the plight of both the buyer and the seller, and is determined to provide just that, excellent service. There is a huge differentiation between the brand of service that Mr. Strager offers, and that of other realtors. “It doesn’t matter if I’m listing a $300,000 condo or a $3,000,000 house, I treat every client as luxury,” submits Nate. One way he accomplishes this is by absorbing the costs of such things as maid services, landscapers, professional photographers, aerial overlays, and even the drones themselves. He also provides virtual staging and 3D tours for his client’s properties, and this is all done out of his own pocket. This “skinin-the-game” attitude is something on which Nate Strager prides himself.

What’s more, Nate also has two marketing teams who will market your property via social media, and other channels as well, which all but guarantees the proper exposure for your listing(s). Mr. Strager will even go so far as to throw housewarming parties for his clients, with the only motive of providing them with an extraordinary experience, and nothing less.

Even though the company is called Luxury Estates International, it is important to note that Nate deals in all things real estate, at every price range. These offerings include everything from single family homes, condos and townhomes to multifamily homes and even land deals. The “luxury” in Luxury Estates International is only indicative of the level of treatment that his clients receive and does not symbolize or reflect any one specialty or price point, as Nate is not one to be pigeon-holed or limited in his endeavors. Mr. Strager also makes himself available to his clients twenty-four hours daily and answers his own calls despite having several staff members at his disposal. This allows Mr. Strager to provide a much-needed personal touch that is essential in not only the real estate industry, but in business as a whole. Yet another feather in the cap of Nate Strager as it relates to the provision of service excellence.

So, what’s next for realtor Nate Strager?

Currently, Nate is making plans to expand his brand into the San Diego, California market. Luckily for them, the people of the Golden State will be receiving the same opportunity to work with Nate Strager as those in the Silver State.

We congratulate realtor Nate Strager as one of the trailblazers of real estate and foresee great innovations coming from his camp, as they work to revolutionize the industry with their redefinition and embodiment of service. MV

HAVING WHAT IT TAKES TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER. When it comes to mastering the real estate market, encompassing luxury real estate, high-rise, new homes, and Airbnb, Patty Linson has what it takes to pull it all together.

A

t the helm of a unique Airbnb model, she has joined with a partner whose system of management has never before been executed with such dynamic results.

Combined, they skillfully harness the real estate ownership side and the extensive Airbnb operations, proving they have what it takes to “generate and anchor” huge results for their clients.

Beginning in 2013, Patty had people begin to approach her wanting to “invest” into the Airbnb market. Since she is always committed to “complete” understanding of a topic, and awareness of the subject responsibly passed through to the client, Patty dove in, head first, to investigate this newly developing platform and communicate the information to the clients. “I had extensive conversations with city and county officials, obtaining the requirements for my clients, the steps they’d need to take in order to create a successful and “legal” Airbnb investment operation,” she said.

But, like most real-estate undertakings, there are lots of moving parts and you must have the plan and operation to pull it all together. They do.

The strategy is to stay within close proximity of Las Vegas’s top spots for tourism, conventions, shows, and the great Raider’s Stadium. We do allow ourselves to expand beyond that radius a bit, but we want to be identified as the “go to properties,” specifically accessible to the Raider’s fans, strip and convention visitors, and the leisure traveler who has specific lodging needs. Additionally, we want to purchase homes in areas that don’t have HOA’s or restrictive CC&R’s.

The requirements, at that time, did not “assure” the investor that once they purchased a property, they would be approved with proper permitting, and other requirements. As a result, she elected to stay out of that area of practice, UNTIL a faithful client shared with her, who and how, he was operating a successful Airbnb with. Finally, she found her new Airbnb partner.

With her skill set of buying, selling, and identifying real estate for clients, as well as negotiating and “landing” the properties for her clients, coupled with her partner’s understanding of the Airbnb world, they work together like peanut butter and jelly.

Like most real-estate undertakings, there are lots of moving parts and you must have the plan and operation to pull it all together.

We have very strict noise and property care agreements and with our own concierge services and maintenance, our properties are kept in pristine condition.

Every property is unique to the next but having a complete support system in place will allow you to maximize your return-on-investment portfolio. Our partnership and commitment to owners and investors goes hand in hand with our success. With the right investors and the right property portfolio, our company supports everyone’s investment.

You can contact Patty at oldvegasrealtor@gmail.com and 702-353-3844.

Patty Linson is Vegas Born and Raised, licensed since 1988. She comes from a thriving multi-generational, Vegas Born family, which translates into knowledge of Vegas that is systemic to her. MV www.lasvegashomeseeker.com

THE LAS VEGAS MARKET IN 2022

The Biggest Mistake I See People Make with Real Estate

It’s hard to believe, but there are still a lot of people who think a real estate crash is coming. I say, “Tell me that you don’t know anything about real estate, economics, nor current affairs without telling me.”

T

he only thing crashing now, or the near future, is the value of the dollar. Because of that, and other factors, real estate values in Las Vegas will continue to increase. Even though home prices in town have increased over 30% in the last 2 years, I predict they’ll continue to rise almost 1% per month for 2022, barring another black swan event.

sets, like residential and commercial real estate, as inflation hits a 40 year high. In addition to more money moving into RE investment because of inflation, the cost of building homes, for example, increases dramatically. Construction costs are a factor of both materials and labor. Does anyone think either will be cheaper in the next couple of years?

Smart people, high net worth people, know to buy as-

This leads to builders not being able to keep up with current demand and growth, adding more pressure on prices. There were less homes built in the last 10 years than any decade since the 1960’s. Babies are being born faster than homes being built. CNBC published an article stating, “The U.S. is short 5.24 million homes, an increase of 1.4 million from the 2019 gap of 3.84 million.”

The most compelling reason behind low home inventory and rising prices are Institutional investors, including pension, insurance, hedge funds. They have been buying homes for rentals since 2008. So, there are tens of thousands of homes that are off the market forever.

I heard recently from 2 acquisition managers that they expect to buy almost twice as many homes in 2022 as they did in 2021.

And, they’re not limited to resale, but homes as they’re being built directly from Homebuilders. Call me for more details about what’s really happening in real estate.

After helping a lot of families over the years as a Probate Real Estate Specialist, I’ve found that a substan-

tial amount of stress, aggravation, time, and money could have been saved if they protected the estate.

The best piece of advice that I can give any property owner to avoid this costly mistake is to set up a Living Trust. Most of our estate plan is to live forever. Estate planning is the only way to protect assets, reduce tax obligations, and avoid probate. Only about 5% of property owners have their real estate protected in a trust. Not having your property in a trust is like filing a civil lawsuit against your own estate, with the government left in charge. Do you want a judge to appoint his friend… or your sister who you haven’t talked to in 10 years…or the son who will blow it all in 6 months to be in charge of your life wealth?

Probate can cost 5-20x the cost of setting up a proper Trust and can take 6 months to years, tying up the assets. In addition to eliminating Probate, it, a) ensures that your assets and beneficiaries have some privacy, b) minimizes claims and, c) eliminates ongoing court costs and attorney fees.

The pandemic has caused me to analyze my level of service. I’m offering anyone a complimentary hour with my high-powered Estate Planning attorneys because I don’t want to see anyone I know go through the expense and stress of Probate. Call me to get a consultation with an attorney who specializes in protecting families, and ultimately wealth in real estate.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

Mikey Del Rosario & His Evergrowing Real Estate Team Mikey Del Rosario is a realtor like no other. This may sound like a platitude, but with Mikey it means much more.

H

is keen eye is focused on the future realtors of the industry, and not only with his own success. At the beginning of 2021, he decided to mentor a group of professionals whose businesses were affected by the pandemic. These brave souls came from several different industries, some from other states and one from another country. They were looking for a sustainable change and wanted to try their collective hands at real estate. Having intricate knowledge of the industry, Mikey Del Rosario was absolutely the one who could help them achieve that mission. Determined to pay it forward, Mikey states, “My goal was to help them all be successful professionals, be there as they face their fears through unfamiliar situations and failures and build their confidence when looking down a seemingly scary road through a completely new career.”

When Mikey started mentoring these professionals, the number one virtue needed to be effective in guiding them to success was patience, and by his estima-

96

tion, “more patience than ever.” He noted this fact after assisting with the mentorship program reminded him of the hardships he once faced as a new professional in the business himself. This ensures that his patience was also coupled with compassion, as he could relate to his group in ways they didn’t even know they needed yet. Luckily, the mentorship program provides unparalleled support, thus making it an easier transition into real estate than he could’ve imagined for these professionals.

best at his craft while contributing to the greater good and unwaveringly serving the community.

The insight into the world of real estate that Mikey provides for these aspiring professionals is not only to help them succeed but is imparted with the hope that one day they will be in a position to pay it forward themselves. He drives this point home, stating, “I wish them all the best of luck and I’m hopeful that they will all take a mentorship role in the future.”

We respectfully celebrate Mikey Del Rosario for being a well-versed real estate professional who remains one of the

Starting this year as a small boutique brokerage with 10 licensed agents, Mikey and his team have come a long way.

LOVE WHERE YOU RESIDE

How can we do it better than anyone else?

That is the question that Reside Luxury agents always ask themselves.

I

t’s no longer enough to offer state of the art technology and mass market exposure. Every brokerage should be offering that to their sellers, at the very minimum. Let’s face it, it is a seller’s market. Priced right, a home should sell and sell quickly. So, how does Reside Luxury do better? It’s simple, they offer services to increase the seller’s maximum potential.

Reside Luxury’s in-house professional staging offers clients the ability to have their homes professionally staged, whether they are vacant or occupied.

Some agents might say, “Why bother?

It’s a seller’s market. It will sell if we just throw a sign in their front yard.” That is true, but at Reside, the goal is not to just sell the home. The goal is to sell the home for the maximum amount in the shortest amount of time. Having a home professionally staged has proven time and time again, that it works. Homes sell faster and for more money when staged. With Reside Luxury, staging is incorporated into the agreement, so that no outside costs are incurred. The seller does not need to set an extra appointment, pay upfront fees and incur extra monthly expenses, while the home is staged. It’s just one of the concierge services that Reside pro-

98

vides, that helps them “do it better than anyone else.”

What else does Reside Luxury offer to ensure their clients are completely satisfied? They also provide professional photography, drone photography, virtual tours and digital floorplans, because, obviously, first impressions matter most when it comes to selling a house. When Reside Luxury’s listings are professionally staged and photographed, they’ve just increased the likelihood that more buyers will be interested in scheduling an appointment to view the home in person, and of course this increases the chances for more offers to be submitted!

One more very important service is also included, which is Direct Target Marketing. With this type of marketing, Reside’s Certified Luxury Consultants connect with the most likely potential buyers, based on their interests, hobbies, and financial ability. They are able to zero in on who would be most interested in purchasing the property and connect with them in a way that is more personable and help them realize their dream of owning the perfect home. For example, if a single home with a four-car garage was located on an exclusive golf course, the direct

marketing could be geared toward buyers who are professionals that belong to a golf club and own at least 4 cars. Having your listing agent actively search for the perfect buyer is just another service provided by Reside Luxury to their clients, to make sure they are completely satisfied.

Reside Luxury is a concierge-driven boutique real estate agency that is constantly striving to offer their clients more than anyone else. In this seller’s market, it is not enough to just list a home. They are driven to make sure that when a client entrusts them with what could possibly be their biggest investment, that client receives the highest level of service available and realizes the largest profits possible.

KEEPING VEGAS STRONG

Kelly Bishop’s Mission to House Nevada

It is more than just real estate or running a business. It is what owning those businesses means to be able to create through connections and improve and change lives around us.

I

have always had a heart for children; being a step-mom, foster mom, adoptive mom and having two daughters of my own has meant the world to me.

I became a therapeutic foster parent for many years and also worked as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, not only being on the Board of Directors but handling several cases as well. When I discovered the overwhelming number of homeless

children and children lost in our systems here in Las Vegas, I was compelled to help make a difference. I had experienced a situation many years ago where I found myself in the middle of North Dakota in 40-degree weather due to a family emergency and had nowhere to stay for the few weeks I would be there. I was connected to a home where a family had a house that was designed for a donation basis only, for people like me, stranded with someone in the hospital. There were people staying in the home with me that were undergoing cancer treatments, etc. I was inspired to do something like this for others. It was such a huge blessing to me at the time.

When I started Vegas Strong Real Estate Group, it was our goal and mission to create a 501c3 to build a “Vegas Strong House” - and that is what we have done. We created the Vegas Strong Charitable Foundation and will soon be launching fundraising endeavors to build or purchase a home, which will initially provide transitional housing for teens 17-21. The concept behind this is to help these teens, primarily through mentoring, teaching them valuable job skills, how to build a resume, prepare for a job interview, and how to budget. They

}

would have an exit plan to learn how to be on their own successfully.

Not only do we want transitional housing for the youth, we have already put in place a plan to help Veterans who may also be experiencing an “in-between” housing situation. We also plan to have a third home, for those families that need to come to Las Vegas for specific treatments or surgeries that require extended stays away from home and need a more family friendly environment.

This is an incredible need on so many levels, here in Las Vegas and in other cities.

My hope and dream is to create awareness and multiple homes for the people who truly need to be cared for. The youth are our future. If we don’t step up and help them become better, who will?

LAS VEGAS REAL ESTATE NOW WITH HARVEY BLANKFELD

To educate, empower, and engage. This is the mission of Harvey Blankfeld, a real estate professional who shares his expertise with the public on his radio show Las Vegas Real Estate Now, with Harvey Blankfeld.

H

arvey Blankfeld is a REALTOR® who is backed by Berkshire Hathaway and helps listeners in Las Vegas with his knowledge of the market. Las Vegas Real Estate Now, with Harvey Blankfeld is on Saturday mornings at 11AM and airs on KDWN 101.5FM and 720 AM.

real estate processes and procedures in general. It is Blankfeld’s position that there is a lot of fear and misconceptions of the real estate industry, and most of that fear is being perpetuated by the media. “Owning your own home is still the best way to increase your personal wealth,” states Blankfeld.

The show started 8 years ago, after Harvey Blankfeld was recruited by the Real Estate Radio Network to host for them. In 2014, Blankfeld went to San Diego for radio broadcast training, and started the show in March of that same year. The first iteration of the show continued until 2017, at which point Harvey Blankfeld decided to go independent. He continued his relationship with KDWN, creating a new show that emphasizes how he is “turning around the narrative on real estate”.

That’s why Blankfeld’s motto is to “Educate, Empower, and Engage.” He educates the general public on the state of the market. He empowers those who would like to participate in the real estate market by arming them with not only the correct knowledge, but with the most effective guidance as well. He engages by lending a hand in matters and personally facilitating the most advantageous transactions possible for the client.

The goal is to educate the general public on any and all matters relative to the Las Vegas Real Estate market, as well as

Every contributor or guest offers a different expertise. The show doesn’t only address what one should do, but maybe

more importantly, it debunks myths and directs the listener as to what not to do.

According to contributor John Ingram of Prosperity Home Mortgage, the show is to serve as a tool for those looking to make decisions on real estate. Harvey Blankfeld and his contributors including Mr. Ingram, actively enjoy educating people on the industry and sharing the reality of what changes are happening. They find real value in their role of translating the complexities of real estate into “real people speak”. In short, Harvey Blankfeld’s radio show consists of timely insights into the real estate market from people without an agenda.

A common topic discussed on Las Vegas Real Estate Now with Harvey Blankfeld is Wire Fraud. Blankfeld warns that there are “bad guys watching (your emails) at all times.” He brings awareness that these criminals watch and wait specifically for real estate transactions to be made.

“They mimic the escrow company or the lender to encourage you to send a large wire off to them.” Blankfeld strongly suggests that the way to combat this type of fraud is to “make the phone call,” meaning call your lender or escrow company to verify that these new instructions are legitimate.

Las Vegas Real Estate Now with Harvey Blankfeld has proven to be an invaluable resource to listeners in the Valley. In the words of Rick Cenname, Title and Escrow professional, “If you’re interested in learning more about how to get involved in real estate, tune in to the show.” MV For more information: lvrealestateradio.com 702-315-7591 Lic # S.48897 By: Daryl K Jones

In 1989, I moved said, “Opportunities here in southern from Western Title to Chicago Title Agency of Las Vegas, and I purchased the company, which a few years later became United Title of Nevada,” recalls Jeff Harris, regarding his experience in the title and escrow services industry.

After much hard work and many long hours, he retired in 2018 to spend more time with his golf clubs and his family (he’s a proud grandfather of five little southern Nevadans). After hearing about Security 1st Title’s national expansion plans from Tony Hale, Security 1st Title’s Senior Vice President, he found himself back in the game as President of Security 1st Title of Nevada. he Nevada operation, headed by longtime Nevadan Jeff Harris, has three, soon to be four, offices in the Southern Nevada area, and handles residential, commercial, and new housing, as well as having a 1031 Exchange* company, all of which are operated by individuals from southern Nevada.

What makes Security 1st different is its people. The firm hires locals who know the lay of the land, figuratively and literally. Employees of Security 1st relate to southern Nevadans because they are southern Nevadans.

Another key differentiator is the value that Security 1st adds to every transaction by giving the consumer options. They write title insurance for several underwriters, which affords them the opportunity to

get the best result at the best price for a consumer who is closing on a real estate transaction. Security 1st represents multiple underwriters and can offer a solution to any closing. As an industry leader in title insurance, Security 1st Title has established a reputation of integrity, expertise, and a commitment to customer service. In short, they get the consumer the best price for the services they need.

According to Harris, there are three things that he wants our readers to know: 1.

When it comes to picking a title and escrow company, you have a choice of whom you go to.

2.

Know who you are dealing with. Why not work with a company that gives you a choice, hires local people, and spends their money with the local businesses that help our community grow?

3.

We are all about southern Nevada!

We celebrate Security 1st Title for being a trendsetter in their industry, and we salute Jeff Harris for his trailblazing and leading the charge.

A POWERHOUSE PLAYER: ENERGY’S NEW ERA

Communication and Positivity. Accountability and Integrity. Respect and Teamwork.

These are the core values of Bell Solar & Electric Systems, as set forth by its CEO, Alexia Cooper. With her “Just Focus and Do It” attitude, she has revolutionized not only the space in which she operates, but also the way business is done in general.

T

he youngest woman to hold a C2 Electrical Contractor License in the history of the State of Nevada, Alexia Cooper is a powerhouse who bought out Bell Solar’s founder, Trevor Bell in 2020 to take full control of the company. She began with the company in 2017 as Director of Operations, and

by December 2020 she had already been listed on Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy.

women in the construction industry.

She doesn’t focus on being a woman in construction herself, she does concede however that the industry is dominated mostly by males, but this has no bearing on how she operates. She would rather focus on adding value to the conversation, and that is what earns her respect in these proverbial smoke-filled rooms where men make major deals.

Alexia Cooper’s resolve to be the best version of herself that she can be, fully translates in the way that Bell Solar does business under her leadership. She expresses that integrity is the number one core value for both herself and the company. “We say what we mean and do what we say we’re going to do,” explains Alexia. The company’s mission, “Rewiring the world to build a sustainable future for generations to come,” signifies that the focus is not only on the “now”, but more importantly on the future of alternative energy resources.

Along with her trailblazing activity in the Solar and Electrical Systems sector, and in assisting members of the industry, she also offers many solutions to consumers.

Bell Solar has released a free downloadable eBook, available on their website, entitled “The Solar Panel Buyer’s Guide for Next Steps.”

One method that she and Bell Solar employs to fulfil their objective to “rewire the world” is executed through the vehicle of philanthropy. The most impactful change that Alexia has instituted would be her Community Involvement policy.

Alexia Cooper and Bell Solar take pride in serving their communities both on the clock and off. They have their hand in everything from participating in efforts with the Contractors Association, to helping to facilitate food banks for under-served families. Forging a partnership with Give Power Foundation, Bell Solar has committed $80+ of every install to be allocated as charitable donations to the foundation. Needless to say, their collaborative efforts have made an invaluable difference in the lives of those here in the United States, as well as countless lives around the world.

Fostering relationships and focusing on the people of her industry is important to Alexia, to her credit, she also firmly believes in creating opportunities for

Alexia Cooper is an industrious, resourceful, and generous player in the energy industry. Since taking over the company in 2020, she has not only made a difference externally, but in the lives of

her employees as well. Believing in the sentiments of the quote by Walt Disney, “Whatever you do, do it well,” Alexia makes sure that while the staff of Bell Solar hold each other accountable to ensure the highest quality of work, they also take the time to celebrate one another’s professional achievements. In the words of Richard Branson, “If you take care of your employees, your employees will take care of your customers.” This is a tenet of business that is not lost on Alexia and may very well be the reason the company has maintained a high regard in the renewable energy space.

(RE)DEVELOPING SOFT SKILLS THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY By: Sean M. McCray

M

y primary concern as Associate Director of Academic Affairs at the International School of Hospitality is the curriculum; our students expect practical, up-to-date content that will prepare them for jobs and I do my best, with our faculty, to provide that.

Over more than a decade in education though, I’ve learned that it’s not enough to focus on the vocational, hard skills required in the hospitality industry … employers demand soft skills, too.

The 2020 GMAC Corporate Recruiters Survey shows that 81% of recruiters identify interpersonal skills as important.

Most job announcements list excellent written and oral communication as requirements. Other skills like active listening and the ability to inspire people are showing up more frequently, too. So, what can you do to practice or learn additional soft skills before that next interview or performance review?

THE EASIEST WAY TO HONE YOUR ABILITIES IS TO ATTEND WORK EVENTS, ASSOCIATION MIXERS, AND CONFERENCES AGAIN. Simply, you can start by getting out there. After a couple years of WFH and the dearth of social situations, soft skills may need some sharpening. The easiest way to hone your abilities is to attend work events, association mixers, and conferences again. Even if these sorts of things aren’t in your comfort zone, the interaction

will pay dividends for your soft skills repertoire and have the added benefit of providing useful networking opportunities.

After your return into the social, do take some time to reflect. Intentionality is essential; evaluate your soft skills progress, look for weak spots, and review the interactions you’ve had, the texts, IMs or emails you’ve written, and your behavior and feelings about all of them.

Try to remember how you felt and how you perceived others’ feelings during your engagements. You’ll be surprised at what you can recall and should use your thoughts to improve your engagements in the future.

Another more focused way to improve interpersonal skills is by taking classes.

Online learning platforms like LinkedIn Learning, Coursera, and Udemy offer tens (maybe even hundreds) of courses specifically on soft skills. A quick search will show you short courses on presenting effectively, teamwork, communications, and even emotional intelligence. Before signing up and laying out some of your paycheck, though, make sure to look for free courses offered by colleges and universities. Also, try to find courses that offer certificates, which you can give to your boss or list on your resume.

Whether you’re looking for a new job or looking to move up in your current one, soft skills are essential. As we get farther into the second half of the year, there will be plenty of opportunities to brush up on interpersonal interactions. Take those opportunities when they arise, reflect, and keep your eye out for short courses in the areas that you need improvement.

You will come to find that Shannon and Troy fit together like puzzle pieces; Both driven and passionate about serving others and keeping the peace, technologically of course. They cofounded Tego Cyber in September of 2019 as a cyber-threat intelligence company. They’ve developed the Tego Threat Intelligence Platform, which identifies potential threats based off research and data, making cybersecurity for enterprises easier and allowing cybersecurity teams to work faster. Tego Cyber uses big data analytics to compare threat data using machine learning to find the needle in the haystack.

As much as Shannon and Troy enjoy protecting and serving local business’ cybersecurity, they are just as invested in serving the community they love to live and work in. They are both active participants in the Southern Nevada InfraGard chapter, supporting information sharing and the protection of U.S. Critical Infrastructure. They founded the Healthcare Heroes Foundation in early 2020 amidst the global pandemic, as a way to give back to first responders.

They have successfully raised thousands of dollars to help our heroes with necessities during these challenging times.

While they are both deeply passionate about cybersecurity, they are both believers in supporting our local community both personally and professionally. Las Vegas was the perfect place to grow their business, their support network, and their family. Shannon and Troy are happily married and are the proud parents of three girls.

WE ARE HERE

In a world of uncertainty, security has become an almost indisputable need for events, celebrities, government officials and much more. Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, homes one very special security organization that shines above the rest.

P

rotective Force International, founded by Chief Jonathan Alvarez and Deputy Chief Andre Scott, began with the hope to fill Nevada’s need for better security standards for others to follow.

What started out as a few hundred dollars, a laptop, and the dream of having a premiere security service that is equipped, trained, and able to respond to a multitude of incidents, Jonathan and Andre have already made a difference in the Las Vegas community. Protective Force International, PFI for short, has transformed into Southern Nevada’s support for community service and security operations in just under three years. PFI provides Unarmed Security Officers, Armed Security Officers, Investigators, Patrol Operations, K9 Officers, and Security Consulting.

Jonathan and Andre built PFI based on serving the community through many aspects. To their clients, they provide a

126

basic security/safety plan but continually learn to adapt and overcome not only client’s needs, but society’s ever-changing climate. Every client is different, every area of operation is different, and tailoring to client’s needs is their specialty. To the community, PFI enjoys getting involved, volunteering, and monetarily contributing to local charities, and even have their own Non-profit (501-c3) called “Protective Force International CDC” (Community Development Corporation), hoping to provide resources to Military Veterans and others in the community.

One of the most impactful aspects of PFI’s growth can be attributed to investing back into its employees through higher-than-average pay and great benefits. Another great aspect is their ability to train and equip Security Officers, providing them with the confidence and knowledge to address issues that arise.

Additionally, PFI owns its own training institute - “Protective Force Internation-

al Training Institute” where they professionally train their Security Officers.

This year, PFI has much to look forward to. Their new tactical supply store is called “Protective Force Tactical” and will not only supply all security operations and PFI employees gear but will supply the public with high quality selections of excellent brands.

Jonathan and the Officers at PFI want to protect and make a difference in the community, whether that be providing security, providing the city with tactical gear, or contributing to local charities. Jonathan says, “We do what’s right and stick by our motto, “We are Here”.” MV CHIEF JONATHAN ALVAREZ, CCTP Protective Force International 2620 Regatta Dr. #102 Las Vegas, NV 89128 (702) 764-9618 info@protectiveforceintl.com www.protectiveforceintl.com

AFFORDABLE STRIPING & SEALING WHY IS PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT? Well-constructed asphalt pavement has a luxurious dark color that is aesthetically pleasing and a smooth, even surface that provides excellent safety features.

If the pavement is engineered correctly and receives the maintenance needed, an asphalt parking lot can last for up to 30 years before it needs a significant repair or reconstruction. However, parking lot maintenance companies know that a neglected pavement can fail in as little as eight years if it receives no maintenance.

It can fail within 15 years if it only gets a little care on a haphazard schedule.

Although asphalt is an economical paving choice, it is always less expensive to maintain your parking lot than replace it. Furthermore, a poorly maintained, dilapidated parking lot can leave you with other potential costs.

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN WITHOUT ASPHALT PAVING MAINTENANCE? If you do not maintain your asphalt pavement, it will deteriorate at an accelerated rate. The sun can dry out the binder holding the pavement together, cracks will form, and potholes can develop. The foundation can become destabilized, and an unstable foundation can lead to alligator cracking, larger potholes, and deeper cracks. Your parking lot will have a shorter life and require costlier repairs.

However, there are other potential consequences if you neglect your parking lot.

The safety of those using your lot can be impacted, and you could find yourself as a defendant in a lawsuit if someone suffers a personal injury or damages his vehicle.

You could lose business if customers or tenants find your parking lot unwelcoming, and your reputation as a responsible, caring company could be tarnished. Furthermore, if your parking lot layout does not fully comply with the ADA requirements for safety and design, you could possibly be sued or fined.

WHAT ARE THE CRITICAL ASPHALT MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES? Your parking lot’s overall condition, the age of the pavement, the amount of maintenance it has received since its installation, and the traffic your lot receives can affect the type and frequency of the procedures it needs. However, parking lot maintenance companies typically recommend the following.

130

1.

Apply sealcoating once your new pavement has fully cured, then repeat the procedure every two to five years. Sealcoat blocks the radiation from the sun that leaves asphalt faded and dry, and it can retard the progress of automotive fluids that can create soft spots in the pavement. Sealants can also restore the color of the pavement.

2.

Have your contractor repair significant cracks every 6 to 12 months.

The longer that cracks remain open to the elements, the more likely it becomes that the damage can extend to all layers of the structure. Cracks never grow smaller.

3.

Clean, visible stripes around your parking spaces and easily identifiable pavement markings can improve safety in your parking lot. Drivers will experience less confusion, and pedestrians will be able to identify the safest route between their cars and your entrance. When you need to repaint your markings and stripes, ask you contractor to check your parking lot design to ensure that traffic flow is optimized to eliminate congestion areas. It would be best if you also asked your contractor to verify that your design meets ADA requirements.

4.

Remove piles of sand, gravel, or trash that can damage or stain your sealant. Oil and other petrochemical spills should be thoroughly cleaned as soon as possible; they will be easier to remove while they are fresh. As petrochemicals will eventually penetrate your sealant and reach your pavement, you should not let these spills remain for more than a few months.

Affordable Striping & Sealing is committed to helping customers get the most from their paving investments. We specialize in parking lot maintenance for properties throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Our services include traffic sign and bumper block installations, sealcoating, parking lot design, asphalt crack repair, and parking lot striping and pavement markings. We have an

EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHER WHO’LL MEET YOUR NEEDS

MEET NIKOLA WITH LV PHOTOGRAPHY MYVEGAS had the chance to sit down with Nikola Prvanovic, the owner, photographer, and videographer of LV Photography, and learned all about his love for photography. We asked him some burning questions that our readers were dying to know, see his answers below!

Q: What are some big-name companies you worked with?

Q: Let’s start with the most important question. How did you develop an interest in photography?

A: When Amazon opened their facility here, we recorded and photographed the grand opening. We have also completed commercial photography work for Microsoft and many other companies. I’m looking forward to seeing the Las Vegas Convention Center reopen and start working with new companies and our regular companies on big productions.

A: Well... to skip the long story and not fill the article alone just by answering that one question: I would say that my love for photography was born through people that have influenced me throughout my life and sustained by all that inspires me!

Q: As a photographer, how do you make sure that the person you want to shoot looks beautiful?

A: Everyone is beautiful! Beautiful is the courage to be yourself. That’s the true beauty in my opinion. As the photographer, it is my responsibility to recognize that in my clients and convey it into an actual image.

Q: Do you shoot B&W photography?

A: Yes. Absolutely. I believe that the B&W photography gets under the skin, you get to really see the person. But I do enjoy shooting both.

Q: The photo shoot you still want to do.

Something that would push your limits as the artist and the photographer?

Q: What makes LV Photography different from other photographers?

A: Besides wedding photography services locally and outside of Vegas when I can, my studio also provides wedding videography and photo booth services. Additionally, I’m available for commercial photo shoots, portraits, headshots, senior photos, family shoots, or even fitness or modeling photo shoots. We strive to provide a genuine and positive experience paired with top quality work. I encourage all who read this great magazine to Google us.

A: Huh, thank God there are still many to cross off! I believe you should always have some challenges lined up in your life! Not circumstantial, set by you! Do not stop challenging yourself in personal and professional development throughout life. As my good friend Scott used to say to me when I was just starting, “Sky is the limit.” In the near future I would love to do a wedding photo and video session in Alaska or on Mount Kilimanjaro, and more locally, Sequoia National Park.

Q: Photography, Videography, Photo Studio and Photo Booths. A one-stopshop by the looks of it. How much is this a decision-making factor for your clients when they decide to book your services?

A: It is a big factor for sure! Imagine your big wedding day is coming up or your tech company is part of a convention at the Las Vegas Convention Center, you have to book all three services from different vendors. Three different vendors, personalities, locations, meetings, emails and text correspondences and work styles.

It can be a bit cumbersome. When the opportunity presents itself that you can commission all three services with one studio, where all three teams work in unison and with one goal, there is little to think about. It’s usually just, are you are available for our date?

132

Wherever you want gorgeous, authentic photos, you can rely on Nikola Prvanovic of LV Photography. Throughout his years photographing, Nikola has captured hundreds of events. With his experience, he can make suggestions on the best lighting and locations and is happy to suggest makeup and hair artists, florists, venues, and hotels for your wedding celebrations.

FATAL A BLOW TO MILITARY VETERANS! By: Steve Sanson, Veterans in Politics

Las Vegas Judge was booted off the Clark County Family Court Bench back in 2014. He ran again for the Family Court Bench and was defeated once again in 2020.

Now he is making one more desperate attempt in 2022 for the Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Bench. This judge appears to be seeking security in the (PERS) Public Employees' Retirement System of Nevada.

Veterans In Politics International (VIPI) with overwhelming evidence declares it a fact that this Judge is no friend to our US Veterans he has earned the thumbs down based on the years of incompetence on the bench. This is because of his unfair treatment of litigants, especially US Veterans.

The Judge once ruled that a 100% Service Connected Disabled Veteran is “willfully” unemployed, despite the fact that the veteran was deemed unemployable and housebound by the Department of Veterans Affairs after years of medical exams, therapy, and evaluations by doctors and specialists.

While the evidence submitted during the trial had nothing to do with the employment status of the Veteran, this Judge took it upon himself during the ruling to go beyond the scope of the evidence and rule that the disabilities were for “carrying guns and military equipment in the Army,” and had no relevance to civilian life or the ability to work, therefore the Veteran was willfully unemployed and the basis for his decision to deny modification of financial obligations that put the Veteran at risk for homelessness.

“A JUDGE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON ON YOUR BALLOT THEY CAN IMPACT YOUR LIFE IMMEDIATELY AND ON A VERY PERSONAL LEVEL”.

While certain judges may bring certain biases to the bench, they need to do the job that they are elected to do and rule on the facts of the case. Here, this Judge over-stepped his boundaries and believed that his opinions and the needs of one able-bodied litigant superseded the facts of the case and the other litigant’s ability to pay. If the Federal Government deems

134

someone disabled based on substantial medical information, who is a Clark County Family Court Judge to believe they can go rogue and ignore the facts of the case?

This same Judge presided over a case of a divorce and custody battle between a Veteran and his wife of 18 years with two children. The Veteran had limited income, yet did his best to fight for fair custody of the children and to compel the Judge to enforce the custody and visitation orders that were in place. The mother kept denying the Veteran his fair time with the children, costing the Veteran thousands of dollars in legal fees to appear before the Judge, to ask him to enforce the orders and to hold mom in contempt. The Judge refused to hold the mother in contempt and the mother continued to refuse contact between the Veteran and the children, causing severe depression and financial problems for the Veteran. Orders of the Court must have bark and bite and not be a “toothless tiger.”

In a case like this, when a litigant knows that they will not be held accountable for their actions, it is no wonder that people enjoy the “Kangaroo Court” put in place by this Judge. After countless motions that were never enforced by the Judge, thousands of dollars in legal fees, and depression from not seeing his children, the Veteran committed suicide. RIP brother.

Further misappropriations from this Judge include violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, Discrimination against a US Marine Veteran. The point is Clark County can sure do better and this Judge has got to stay gone! He is a total disappointment to the Bench and every member of our US military past and present!

START ATTRACTING WHO YOU WANT “Experience dating from an expanded conscious perspective.” - C. Regi Rodgers

The secret sauce is within you. The term “secret sauce” has come to mean the thing that you do that makes you unique. But first, you must determine what makes you unique.

D

iscover the thing in you that would cause someone to be attracted to you. Do you realize that you are a magnet? You can attract a conscious partner. You will become the source to what it means to attract what you want. It’s nothing magical, it’s just understanding how to attract your conscious mate on a spiritual and energetic level. Please note, you have the secret sauce to fulfilling what you desire.

You must be deliberate and you must be intentional. This secret sauce can become the power of your imagination. As much as you can see yourself attracting who you desire, you will attract them. As much as you can feel yourself having them, you will have them. Let your imagination expand, this becomes your secret sauce.

Everything begins as a thought that turns into an idea. All of the material things in your life are manufactured out of the ideas of your mind. Developing an original and creative idea requires thinking.

We are constantly broadcasting through our thoughts what we are attracting in our physical realm. A manifestation is where your thoughts and your energy can create your reality. The first thing to do when manifesting is to take a look at your thoughts and feelings. If you are constantly being negative, then you are going to attract negative energy. Your personality becomes your personal reality. You are the one who determines and decides who you want to attract in your life. I want you to affirm this. Make this

your declaration, say, “I am the one who determines and decides who I want to attract into my life.” The infinite has given this to you and it is up to you to determine this. According to your acceptance of this belief be it done unto you. How much are you willing to accept? You have the secret sauce inside of you to start attracting, setting your intention sets the tone for the attracting of who you want.

Regi’s “SECRET SAUCE” to attraction: Step 1 - CLEAN Do everything possible to clean and declutter your thoughts so that you can do everything possible to achieve what you desire.

Step 2 - CREATE Create the vision of what your mate looks like. Bring it into existence.

Step 3 - CHECK Check your mind to make sure it is filled with positive thoughts related to the vision of how your mate looks. Examine to detect the presence of whatever it is that is holding you back.

Step 4 - CONNECT Bring together or into contact so that a real or notional link is established. Watch your vision become a reality. Start attracting who you want.

CLEAN + CREATE + CHECK = CONNECT (ATTRACT)

Who do you see yourself with? Decide who you want to attract. You must connect with your intention to have them, then you must believe that you will receive what you ask for. Pour all your energy and concentration into seeing it becoming a reality. Everything you want will happen, but it will happen at the right time. You must keep believing. I want you to see, hear, smell, and touch the mate you’re looking to create. Make it as real as you possibly can, feel them as if you have them already. Add as many details as you can, focus on the end result of attracting who you want. Consider that thoughts are things, and that thinking in a certain way can create concrete changes and attract to you what you desire. Everything that you are ready for is ready for you.

Everyone serves their own individual idea of what they desire. You must be clear, and specific in regards to what you want to attract. There is a consciousness on the individual level and each one of us has our own concept of what we formulate by way of an idea in our mind. You relate to your own individual concept of what you want to attract. Once again, you determine what you want to attract by CLEANING, CREATING, CHECKING and CONNECTING. When you recognize this secret sauce, you then understand this power that you have within you. You can attract to you who you want. MV By: C. Regi Rodgers #1 Relationship Coach

ichael Grossa, of Grossa & Associates CPA, is a pro at building everything from the ground up. Being surrounded by growing and caring for gardens with his family growing up became an incredible foundation for what is now a large part of his life. Starting his career in accounting with other firms and opening his very own firm in 2004, Michael is familiar with putting in work to see the final result.

Michael and his associates help their clients choose their structure, plan for taxes, life events, growth, and ideally to one day, live a great retired life. Of course, they help people with taxes, but the real benefit is the planning before taxes are due. “Small businesses are the best fit, they tend to need the most help, and benefit the most from our services.” But everyone can benefit from having an ally on your side to help you grow and flourish your financial health!

Gardening was always something his family did all together, although like most parents, they did most of the work. From digging in the ground to playing with lady bugs, planting seeds and harvesting the vegetables, Michael remembers it as a positive experience in his life. Today, he loves devoting time to the things that take time to flourish. In his own home, he has grown 3 generations of gardens in his space, over nearly 20 years. He has even made the incredibly fertile dirt that fills the gardens via composting yard waste.

“I have had very good luck with the garden staples, like beans, cucumbers, peas, but things that are rare here are more rewarding. I have grown some incredibly hot peppers, bitter melons, strawberries, grapes, and even peaches,” proudly proclaims Michael. It may seem like Las Vegas may not be the best climate to grow these incredible fruits and vegetables, but it is all about preparing; finding the right watering habits, soil, and placement to get it right. Similar to his business, it may take a different approach, condition, or preparation to get your finances in the right place.

Having worked in various aspects of accounting, construction, fast food and even being a paperboy as a young man, the mix in Michael’s life experiences gives him a unique ability to see both sides of most issues, challenges and solutions. In gardening planting next to a wall might give you shade, but it might also radiate plant killing heat, and the same might be true for your business.

health and home.

LESSONS ARE EVERYWHERE IF WE’RE LOOKING TO LEARN The bathroom in a condo I was renting had the most awful showerhead. It came with three settings: bearable, rip your skin off water pressure, and barely a drizzle. I chose the bearable setting most days.

The situation made me think about how we do this in life with issues of greater consequence. How we so often gripe about things within our control while taking no action to address the matter.

Futile fussing becomes second-nature.

Problem was the bearable setting proved erratic. The nozzles spewed water in random directions, including out onto the bathroom floor, and up into my eyes.

Most sprayed at a normal forward trajectory, but a few went rogue.

There is space for venting. It’s when the venting devolves into consistent grumbling that it crosses a line. Once we start “venting” as often as anyone will listen, we’re doing something else. If we revive the same frustrations over and over only to feel frustrated, it becomes pointless.

Stressing doesn’t make anything better.

Complaining has never changed a condition, remedied a single problem, or repaired any damage. It doesn’t even make us feel better. In fact, complaining often makes us feel worse. More upset. More irritated. More defeated. Less powerful.

With an assist from Amazon Prime shipping, a new, more precise showerhead was sitting on my doorstep about six hours after my epiphany. I hooked it up and took it for a spin. The water ran down my back in flawless streaks. Immersed in familiar but since forgotten bliss, a fitting quote popped into my head to accompany the lesson of which I’d been reminded.

For two years, I complained about this despicable showerhead that left me with choosing the lesser of three evil options.

I grumbled and rolled my eyes just about every morning I stepped in to battle the spraying water. The process helped me start my days at peak annoyance.

I complained until one day it dawned on me that I could replace the contraption. I could simply unscrew and swap the awful showerhead for a better one. Then change it back when I moved out of the condo.

I felt silly for having waited so long to arrive at this solution. For having been so frustrated with something so fixable.

Why wasn’t replacement my immediate thought after taking the first substandard shower?

Then it hit me. I wasn’t looking for a fix. I was content to complain. Turning on the shower and lamenting how terrible it was became an intuitive habit. I wasn’t thinking about how I could improve the condition, only that it was undesirable.

Be Better at What Matters

LIMONCELLO FRESH ITALIAN KITCHEN

A wonderfully unique and welcoming feeling will overcome you as you enter the space that once was the wellknown Macayo’s Mexican Restaurant.

N

ow, a completely different atmosphere of culinary Mediterranean fusion, you will find Limoncello Fresh Italian Kitchen. Featuring broad menu options and one-of-a-kind surroundings, Limoncello has created an upscale restaurant with a casual, refined ambience, and the menu of your Italian dreams.

Owners Giuseppe Bavarese and his wife Jenny worked hand-in-hand during a nine month build out to create a restaurant that brings people together to lavish in fresh, authentic Italian dishes. In November 2019, they officially opened their doors to the public, and gained the community’s support right away, as Bavarese recalls serving over 300 guests a night for dinner in the first weeks of opening.

Giuseppe, who also developed Prosecco Fresh Italian Kitchen in the southeast area, is the kind of restaurateur that Las Vegas strives for. Requiring only the best ingredients, the highest quality beef and poultry, and the most traditional methods of cooking for their signature dishes, it is no wonder that Limoncello has received such praise after two years.

During the pandemic, Bavarese made the decision to close for two months to refine the menu, to ensure he can still provide the same overall experience through a changing world and dynamic. Now a dinner-only restaurant, with a shortened menu, guests can still expect the same incredible service and freshness. A 35year restaurant industry pro, and owner of several restaurants over the years, Bavarese believes in quality over quantity.

144

After developing and opening Prosecco to full capacity, he and his wife sold their shares to build a more structured and refined setting with private rooms in Limoncello Fresh Italian Kitchen. Giuseppe Bavarese knows a pandemic cannot slow down the people out there that appreciate quality flavors and dishes.

When dining with Limoncello, you can expect freshness from the pasta to the prime meat, and everything in between.

While fresh doesn’t always mean healthy, in Limoncello’s case, it pretty much does.

Their chef Eric Gaitain, from New York, cooks on the healthy side, so it’s not a cheat meal unless you opt for dessert too!

But still expect impeccable flavor and savory to every choice on their menu, it is something they hold very strongly.

Have we mentioned their fresh seafood display case, where you can choose your catch for the night? Seafood lovers will be in awe, especially with their South African prawn, featured for a limited time per season. As for their pasta, Bavarese says, “People love the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Amatriciana with guanciale (cured pork jowl), and we’re doing carbonara the original way, real Italian.” For those who enjoy the classics like Chicken Parmigiana or even Pizza, you will find your new favorite place for these delicacies.

An 8,000-sqare foot space, able to host event groups of up to 325 people and private rooms able to seat up to 80 people, Limoncello’s philosophy is the best is just good enough. Exceeding the best, their restaurant offers an ambience that

is simply unmatched. Their private rooms are the perfect place for your next event, whether it be for special events, wedding, corporate events, and more. Find ease in parking for guests and find bliss in their event menus.

There is truly no stone left unturned at Limoncello. It is hard to imagine that the famous Macayo’s restaurant was ever in its place, as it seems the community has been waiting for a restaurant like Limoncello. Enjoy fresh Italian cuisine and the flavors of the Amalfi coast; Visit Limoncello for your next night out. MV Contact Limoncello for your next event!

THE TRUE TASTE OF THE SOUTH

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.

A

t 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 portion of the proceeds go to “Critical Care Comics,” an incredible

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

PAMPAS LAS VEGAS For visitors and locals, Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse is the original, favorite Las Vegas Strip churrascaria, found in the endless roads of Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops.

Y

ou will probably be drawn in with an incredible aroma of spit-roasted meats, or the South American music playing.

But what will keep you coming back is the never-ending variety of meats and sides, and the unceasing hospitality.

Honoring the Gaucho culture and cuisine, Pampas brings traditional Brazilian

barbecue into a contemporary setting and style. They’ve graciously created a welcoming atmosphere to serve endless meats, and the passadores (servers) to present the food with pride and knowledge. Guests are presented with an enticing parade of meats, are taught what each cut of meat is, and can even choose the level of doneness they prefer. Manager, Kevin Lopes, says, “In true rodizio fash-

ion, our staff keeps the food coming until the customer is satisfied. Now that’s an experience!”

There is nothing better than a perfectly cooked cut of meat, and Pampas has that down to a science. Their most well-known cuts of meat include the picanha, which is their top sirloin seasoned with kosher salt and cooked slowly with its fat cap over an open flame, so it bastes naturally while it’s roasting. The result is a tender and flavorful cut of beef. Along with their quality selection of meats you will also find an endless buffet of sides and salads.

Among them, make sure to try the pão de queijo, also known as Brazilian cheese bread, which always comes fresh from the oven. Don’t forget to take advantage of their full bar, with traditional options and Brazilian classic cocktails.

And if you thought that you can only enjoy delicious meats at their location on the Strip, think again! Pampas offers full catering services so you can enjoy Brazilian barbecue wherever and whenever you need it. There are also four banquet and special event areas, able to accommodate up to 350 people. From your wedding reception to your office holiday party, Pampas does it all!

There will be many exciting things coming this year for Pampas, as they are excited to announce a multi-million dollar remodel that will elevate the dining experience, as well as a new and updated menu. Celebrating over 17 years of serving Las Vegas, Pampas Churrascaria offers a unique, authentic experience that is truly one of a kind. For lunch or dinner, it is all about bringing families and friends together to enjoy the best Brazilian barbecue that Las Vegas has to offer.

We hope to see you soon at Pampas, the original Las Vegas Strip churrascaria. MV PAMPAS LAS VEGAS Miracle Mile Shops 3663 S Las Vegas Blvd #610, Las Vegas, NV 89109 pampasusa.com 702.737.4748

At the age of 27, Giancarlo opened his own restaurant in Sacramento, California, Café Vinoteca, an Italian Bistro and Wine Bar. After some years, Giancarlo was offered a partnership with Antonio Accornero in one of the oldest deli’s, Siena Deli in

152

Las Vegas, which he jumped at. They revamped and relocated the business to the west side Summerlin Las Vegas, and in time they expanded the deli to include a large restaurant. The restaurant was designed with full service/tablecloth atmosphere. Along with a full-scale bakery and the ability to offer full-service catering, they added a revamp to the name, making it into Siena Italian Authentic Trattoria & Deli.

Giancarlo continues to reinvent himself and has been awarded and recognized time and time again. A successful self-starter, Chef Giancarlo Bomparola has gained an abundance of experience in every aspect of the restaurant business and continues to rise in the restaurant ranks as a sought-after chef and restaurant expert. Come and enjoy the generational recipes that embody the spirit of northern Italian cooking inspired by Giancarlo’s heritage.

Siena Italian Trattoria & Deli is proud to offer a variety of different homemade specialties and grocery products in the new deli section along with all kinds of

hard-to-find imported & domestic meats & cheeses. The in-house bakery offers homemade Italian cookies, pastries, desserts, and fresh baked bread made daily.

POPULAR LAS VEGAS ENTERTAINER RETURNS TO HER BROADWAY ROOTS

… And The Smith Center

Known as “Las Vegas’ First Lady of Jazz,” critically acclaimed vocalist and local favorite Michelle Johnson returns to her performing home at Smith Center on September 2 with A Sondheim Scrapbook: Celebrating the Music and Stories of Stephen Sondheim.

M

r. Sondheim is arguably one of the greatest musical theater composers of all time, and this show features some of late composer’s greatest songs from shows like West Side Story, Follies, Into the Woods, Company, Gypsy, Sunday in the Park with George, many more. As a veteran of Broadway herself, the show is a nod to the musical theater roots and her long-time love affair with the music of Stephen Sondheim.

Michelle Johnson is known for her soaring vocals, versatile repertoire, and consistently sold-out productions at The Smith Center and in performing arts centers across the country. She has also performed, toured, or recorded with legendary artists including Gladys Knight, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, and others. Michelle’s liquid voice and unique storytelling style will engage you from the first note to the last.

156

Joining Michelle as Musical Director and pianist is three-time MAC Award winning Broadway veteran Mark Hartman, whose credits include Sondheim on Sondheim, Avenue Q, The Fantasticks, Feinstein’s/54 Below, Café Carlyle, Birdland, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and more.

Together these two entertainers are magical, which was evidenced at their last show together Home: A Return to Broadway, a sold-out Smith Center production celebrating the long-awaited post pandemic reopening of Broadway last fall.

This time they are digging even deeper and delving into the genius of Stephen Sondheim.

Featuring several musical guests, this heartfelt, musical nod to Stephen Sondheim will have you spellbound by the incredibly complex, beautiful, stirring music that made Stephen Sondheim a household name. Presented in the inti-

mate setting of Myron’s Cabaret Jazz at 7 PM, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of the iconic musical treasures and stories as Michelle Johnson and Mark Hartman celebrate this Broadway legend.

Act early and get your tickets now, as these shows tend to sell out quickly. See you there! MV

DAY OUT IN VEGAS

TIME

SPOOKY

e may be a little bit early to the spookiness this year, but to us, we’re right on time.

And at the Halloween Emporium and Haunted Tea Room, every day can be Halloween- yes, it’s open all year long! Spirit of Halloween, who?

Maybe the most instagramable place since Café Lola, the Halloween Emporium has only been open for a couple of months and has already taken over influencer profiles as the place for all things horror and, well, tea. The bright orange sign and friendly ghost mascot may have caught your eye on Fort Apache Rd, or you’ve seen highlights on social media, but however you find out about this place, know that it’s definitely worth checking out. When I noticed it on my way home after work, I nearly swerved right into the parking lot and checked it out myself. Thankfully, I grew some patience and waited to fully review the experience with my partner in crime.

On one very chilling afternoon, in the middle of summer, Laura and I arrived at our next day out in Vegas. When you first arrive and open the door, you are greeted by an 8-foot-tall skeleton and something to look at in every single corner. There is literally so much to look at that you could probably spend an hour in here just circling the room over and over, because maybe you missed something the first time. From decor to collectibles, ghost hunting equipment to costumes, there is so much for your eyes (and wallets) to

158

TO GET

find. Mostly everything in the store is for sale, including the decorations you see on the wall, and everything on their all-black Christmas tree.

As you circle the store, you’re taken on an endless maze of merchandise. You’ll firstly find yourself in a room with a life-size Michael Myers, AKA the perfect photo opp! Take a keepsake Polaroid with Mikey but don’t get too handsy with him, we may or may not have broken him while we were there. Talk about haunting!

After your photoshoot, you will pass a haunted mirror that I wouldn’t look in for too long, and you’ve made it to the Ouija room. Filled with Ouija related items, spell books, witch hats, jewelry and more, it is the most witchy part of the store and, to us, had the coolest things to look at.

When you make your way back around to the front, don’t forget to grab a tea on your way out! You will not be disappointed with the many flavors and brands of loose-leaf teas, coffee, decorative mugs, and even decaffeinated teas for the kiddos.

Being an October baby myself, I’m always lured into spooky related things, and this was right up my alley. It’s also a great place to go for gifts for us October babies, just putting it out there! As long as you are remotely into Halloween or have an affinity to coffee and tea like us, this will be a place for you and the family to enjoy no matter what time of year it is.

NIGHT OUT IN VEGAS

GET LOST AT THE LOST SPIRITS DISTILLERY

M

uch more than a circus actually, Lost Spirits Distillery made its appearance in Las Vegas as an attraction for those that love to be entertained, and liquor lovers everywhere. And isn’t that what Vegas is all about?

Bringing together cirque, burlesque, and the love of alcohol, Lost Spirits Distillery has quickly become a destination for everyone’s Friday night. And ours was up next. We were scheduled for the 7pm entry and made sure to be right on time. You first line up to get your tickets checked, you’ll receive your boarding pass and then you’re off to the races. Which also means, you get your first taste of alcohol.

Basically a show tasting and a drink tasting in one, your experience is self-guided, so enjoy your freedom through countless rooms of performances and shows unlike anything you’ve seen before. From snake charmers to mind readers, you will be constantly entertained without a doubt. Called a “full blown cirque show” just without the seats, you’ll find yourself within feet of some of the best performers in the world.

Now this is a distillery, so prepare to have some serious drinks in your hands. I’ll be the first to say that the drinks served are not your everyday cocktail, but I did make sure to taste all of the drinks presented to us. With the ticket choice that you select, you will have a certain number of drinks included which are all 90 proof and above.

Their website and their rules strongly discourage pregaming before and driving after your visit.

On your journey around, you also will find plenty of space to sit and relax and enjoy the next liquor drink on your tour, and maybe snap a few photos for the memo-

ries. Normally, during a cirque show, you wouldn’t have the opportunity to talk with your party about what you’ve just watched, but that is more than possible here at Lost Spirits. In fact, this is the perfect spot for a date, as you’re slowly drinking more, you’ll have more than enough to say between each show.

A circus from the outside, and much more on the inside, Lost Spirits Distillery is one of the most immersive experiences you can find in Vegas. An almost underground circus, maybe the lost spirits are referencing more than just the alcohol? That’s for you to find out!

Check out Lost Spirits Distillery for your next night out in Vegas!

TICKETS AT LOSTSPIRITS.NET RESERVATIONS EVERYDAY AT 7PM AND 9PM TUESDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS DARK

RESID3NCY is a lifestyle hat brand dedicated to making people feel proud about either where they are currently living or from.

WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE BRAND?

Our goal is to pull on heartstrings and touch people and cities. We want to make people feel excited about repping places that they keep near and dear to their hearts, but doing so in style and through fashion.

WHO IS YOUR DREAM CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT?

Individually - Kanye… If we’re talking about a company or brand, Nike, Fear of God, and Supreme.

WHY VEGAS?

RESID3NCY overall is currently in 12 US Markets, but all the owners of Resid3ncy, Angelo Iseppi, Andrew Rivas and Zach King, have ties in Las Vegas. It has always been a special part of our lives in some way or another. Very proud to see what this city has become, and the direction in which Vegas is going.

HOW DID THE VISION OF THE BRAND BECOME A REALITY?

Our other Co-Founder, Angelo Iseppi, had an extensive background in the fashion/

160

retail industry and approached me with the idea in 2018. We both felt that cities were underrepresented, and that we could really focus on the lifestyle fashion aspect while keeping cities at the forefront.

HOW DO YOU PICK YOUR RESIDENCIES? DO YOU PRODUCE CUSTOM CITIES?

RESID3NCY.COM @Resid3ncy

Our design team sets the direction for which cities are launched and where we go next. We won’t launch a city unless we are absolutely in love with the design/city logo. We pride ourselves in providing great service and quality products. So, it’s very important that our growth plan reflects that. We want people to feel proud and comfortable wearing our products.

WHEN DO YOU SEE THE BRAND OPENING A LOCAL STORE?

I think the first goal is to partner with retailers throughout the US so we can have our products showcased in their respective stores. This will allow us a broader reach and enable us to service more customers.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL HOT SPOT?

My favorite local spot in Vegas is Drai’s Nightclub. Not only because of the music, but I feel they do a great job with their various artist residencies. They have a wide range of artists constantly coming each week, and you can literally see the crowd reacting and enjoying themselves. I think they hit a market that was underserviced, which was what we are trying to do at RESID3NCY!

ANY UPCOMING EXPANSION PLANS?

For 2022, we have 4 cities identified that are launching... Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, and Cincinnati!
