“Governor Kenny Guinn. As many successes as he had throughout his life – personal and professional – he never lost track of where he had come from; he treated everyone with respect. In a time when it is difficult to find true mentors and leaders, Kenny was the definition of class and sincerity.”
Chris Ferrari • President, Ferrari Public Affairs
George Maloof: “I’ve worked with George more than 10 years, and in that time he’s done so many wonderful things. He’s a genuine person, great business partner and a man of his word. He always makes himself available when others are in need. George has earned my admiration, and will always have it.”

“I most admire Dr. Meena Vohra, the Medical Director of the Children’s Hospital of Nevada at UMC. She has spent the last 25 years in pediatrics and pediatric critical care with the dream of developing a non-profit Children’s Hospital that would care for ALL children. She also has spent the last 20 years teaching residents specializing in the care of children.”

“Few Nevadans have contributed more to our state than the late Jim Joyce, a legend in Nevada politics. Often referred to as “The Gentle Giant”, Jim’s voice in Carson City reverberates almost a decade after he passed away. His consensus-building style is sorely missed and needed now more than ever.”
Connie Brennan • Publisher, Nevada Business Magazine
“The most notable Nevada figure has to belong to Ann Margret. Who had a better figure than Ann Margret? When she danced to “Viva Las Vegas” with Elvis she had to at least have doubled the population of our great city.”
Michael Berk • Chief Creative Officer and Executive Producer, Players Network
“I have always admired Steve Wynn for his foresight and vision. When it comes to operating in Las Vegas he is a leader rather than a follower. Wynn’s a pragmatic individual who can assess and react in black and white. His ability to envision the ‘end of road’ and make it happen while keeping Las Vegas’ best interests in mind is commendable.”
