A decade ago, Vegas Legal Magazine launched with a vision: to shine a light on the people, ideas, and innovations shaping the legal and business landscape of Las Vegas. Ten years later, that mission hasn’t changed – but the city certainly has.

This Summer 2025 issue marks our 10-year anniversary, and we couldn’t be more proud to celebrate it with you – our readers, contributors, advertisers, and friends who have made this journey possible. Vegas is a city defined by reinvention, resilience, and bold ambition – and this issue captures all of that and more.

We’re honored to feature Derek Stevens, the visionary owner of Circa, on our cover. In a town that thrives on spectacle, Stevens has become one of the most influential figures on Fremont Street and beyond. His story is more than a business success – it’s a study in risk, reward, and the belief that downtown still has its best days ahead.

Inside, you’ll find a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal profession – from case research to client management – raising important questions about ethics, efficiency, and the future of law itself. We also explore the emergence of the Otonomous Hotel, a new hospitality concept blurring the lines between technology, luxury, and autonomy in a way only Las Vegas could pull off.

One of our most thought-provoking features this issue unpacks The One Big Beautiful Act of 2025 – a cultural, political, and social movement sweeping through Southern Nevada, aimed at redefining civic engagement and collective impact. In true Vegas fashion, it’s bold, it’s dramatic, and it just might work.

We’re also excited to welcome a new advertiser to our pages: TBI Analytics. Their expertise in forensic data and investigative analytics is a natural fit for our audience of legal professionals and decision-makers. We’re thrilled to have them join our growing community.

A decade in, Vegas Legal Magazine continues to evolve – not just as a publication, but as a platform for insight, advocacy, and storytelling. We’re grateful to the leaders, disruptors, and everyday changemakers who allow us to tell their stories – and to our readers, who keep asking the right questions.

Here’s to ten years of legal insight with Vegas flair – and to the next ten, whatever they may bring.
