Winston Fisher
“In 2026, my resolution is to guide Area15 into its most ambitious era yet. With Zone 2 officially open, we have the runway to launch next-level experiences from new culinary concepts and groundbreaking creative partners. I’m committed to shaping the Area15 District into the global gold standard for immersive entertainment. And because the campus keeps growing, we’re exploring an AI-powered ‘concierge of cool’ to help guests navigate all the surprises ahead. This year is about expansion with intention and solidifying Area15 as the cultural heartbeat for locals and visitors alike.” –Winston Fisher CEO, Area15
Oscar Amador
“In 2026, my resolution is to keep pushing Las Vegas to be seen as one of the great gastronomic capitals of the world. At Amador Cocina Fina, our focus will be on deepening the city’s culinary identity—connecting fire, flavor and craft to create something that feels truly born from the desert. My goal is for Las Vegas to compete not just in spectacle, but in soul—with the same creative energy you find in cities like Barcelona, Tokyo or Paris.” –Oscar Amador chef and owner, Amador Cocina Fina
Ginger Land-van Buuren
“My 2026 resolution is to ignite THIRD [Street] and give Las Vegas the ‘arts home team’ it deserves. We’re lighting the fuse, building the roster, and fully expecting y’all to show up like superfans (tailgating and show swag encouraged). If you can clap on beat or yell ‘Bravo!’ with passion, congratulations, you’re drafted! Our talent scorecard and lineup of productions are Vegas-made, cultivated and incubated here. This is your spark, Vegas … game on.” –Ginger Land-van Buuren executive director, Vegas City Opera (one of THIRD Street’s member organizations)
Kip Kelly
“I want to create more opportunities to discover something rad at The Beverly. Our calendar is full, and the community support has been incredible, but finding a way to intentionally program more each year has always been our goal. I’ve also promised myself to either give F1 a chance or delete my Twitter.” –Kip Kelly founding creative director and chief experience officer, The Beverly Theater
Heather Harmon
“This year, I visited the exhibition The Choices of Man Through the Lens of the Holocaust with [Nevada Center for Humanity President] Heidi Straus. One of the themes resonated deeply with me—the importance of being an upstander. As we look ahead to 2026, I hope to deepen the ways we actively show up for our community through the arts in Las Vegas. I’m continually inspired by the people who make this city so vibrant, and my hope is that the future Las Vegas Museum of Art is a place where connection, creativity and collective growth are nurtured—not passively observed, but meaningfully supported.” –Heather Harmon executive director, Las Vegas Museum of Art
Tameka Henry
“In 2026, I am committed to sustaining both my family and the community we serve through intentional care and collaboration. At Obodo Collective, we will continue strengthening our sustainability, food systems, and expanding support for families alongside our partners. I look forward to a year rooted in collective growth, shared vision and lasting impact.” –Tameka Henry founder of Obodo Collective, CCSD Trustee
Jess Molasky
“As we enter 2026, I’m reaffirming a core intention for myself and for Ovation: to keep expanding access to quality housing. While our recent efforts have focused on creating dignified, affordable homes for seniors, we’ve also continued to grow our market-rate communities—homes designed with the needs of today’s workforce firmly in mind. Later this year, we’ll break ground on our first non-age-restricted affordable community. Our goal is to meet Southern Nevada’s needs across the full spectrum of income levels.” –Jess Molasky chief operating officer, Ovation
Dr. Pedro “Joe” Greer Jr.
“Roseman University College of Medicine’s 2026 resolution remains centered on improving community health outcomes by preparing future physicians to be exceptional clinicians and leaders. Through the Genesis Program, students work with assigned households to understand real-life health needs and social determinants. The Empowered Program continues providing comprehensive wraparound services for pregnant and postpartum women with opioid or stimulant use disorders through recovery. Our Aspire Program introduces first-generation students in the Valley to careers in the health professions. And finally, a new combined primary care and dental clinic in Henderson will further strengthen community access to integrated care.” –Dr. Pedro “Joe” Greer Jr. founding dean, Roseman University College of Medicine
