Deluxe Version TOP LAWYERS KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH TIFFANY YANG
Growing up in Southern California, Tiffany Yang always enjoyed watching true crime shows on television.
In fact, they were the main inspiration behind her decision to study criminology at UC Irvine. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Tiffany moved to Las Vegas and enrolled in UNLV’s William S. Boyd School of Law. Upon earning her Juris Doctor, Tiffany would serve as a judicial law clerk under the Honorable Susan H. Johnson at the Eighth Judicial District Court.
Her experience with Judge Johnson would open her eyes to the world of civil law and ultimately convince her to change her legal career path.
Tiffany joined Ace Law Group in 2020.
Ace Law Group was founded by Patrick Kang in 2009 to represent Las Vegas residents in a variety of personal injury concerns and employment law matters. Unlike most law firms, which let one or two attorneys take charge and oversee rather than participate in case proceedings, Ace Law Group works together as a cohesive unit. With this collaborative approach, the Ace team is able to tackle each case from multiple perspectives and areas of expertise, creating a strong case for every client. Their most recent victory was a premises liability case which earned its client a one million dollar settlement.
When asked about practicing law in Vegas, Tiffany had only good things to say. “Vegas is definitely small and competitive, but there is a lot of camaraderie between personal injury lawyers. We’re all in the same field and we want our community to be respectable.”
While she admits being a lawyer can be overwhelming at times, Tiffany Yang embraces the challenges that come with her profession. Borrowing a quote from her favorite animated film, Meet the Robinsons, she vows to “keep moving forward” and fight for her clients’ justice one day at a time.

TREATING CARDIOVASCULAR CONCERNS WITH CARE: DR. CLAUDIO BONOMETTI
To say that Dr. Claudio Bonometti has a heroic heart is an understatement, as he has dedicated his life’s work to curing his patients’ uncommon cardiovascular concerns. Dr. Bonometti is an expert clinical cardiac electrophysiologist specializing in cardiovascular diseases and adult cardiology. As the catalyst overseeing the electrical processes of the heart, Dr. Bonometti holds great responsibility in restoring his patients’ livelihood and states, “To be able to extend people’s quality of life and length through intervention is the most gratifying aspect of my career. I feel blessed that we now have the tools to safely and effectively cure a lot of conditions that used to be only manageable.” Dr. Benometti works on adult patients, predominantly over the age of 50, who are oftentimes experiencing very critical turning points in their lives. His promising results reflect the absolute dedication and knowledge assured to every patient.
Dr. Bonometti remains a top referral best acknowledged for diagnosing and treating cross-system illnesses that often affect multiple organ systems. Amongst his earned credentials, he is also a board-certified doctor in administering internal medicine to accompany the defibrillators, pacemakers, and a multitude of medical devices he equips patients with to treat heart disorders. These would include arrhythmia, aneurysms, and coronary artery disease. Having over 25 years of diverse experience, Dr. Bonometti is professionally affiliated with Nevada Heart And Vascular Center’s many locations in the Las Vegas valley and other care facilities throughout the United States. As if a full schedule saving lives isn’t enough to balance as is, Dr. Bonometti enjoys writing publications highlighting new advancements in the field of cardiology; is ambitiously fluent in five languages; and has the expendable goodwill to repeatedly donate his services, teachings, and equipment to Nicaragua’s local medical personnel upon international mission trips. He is also a FACC (Fellow of the American College of Cardiology) and an FHRS (Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society). Sincerely, Dr. Bonometti is immensely appreciated as a frontline hero with global impact.
To Dr. Bonometti, leadership is not a title one earns from acts of greatness. True leadership is a state of being. When asked about his favorite aspect of his profession, Dr. Benometti shares,
“I am proud of many things in life, but nothing beats bringing a smile to my patients and helping them feel like they can live their lives again. I had a patient who everyone had given up on as she was 97 years of age with heart failure and an enlarged heart. I was determined to help, and through a ventricular defibrillator implant and medications, she lived to 104 and remained very active in her community as a philanthropist!”
Those who have been in Dr. Bonometti’s care can not recommend him more highly for his proper treatment and outstanding personalized support throughout the years. To some, Dr. Bonometti is a skilled physician, but his actual patients would beg to differ that he is indeed a beacon of light between life and death.

INTRODUCING LOOP EXPERIENCES
Michael DeLucca has a big presence with a big personality, and an even bigger idea.
As the CEO of one of Las Vegas’ largest experiential travel agencies, Red Carpet VIP, Michael has managed over $100 million in revenue since the company’s inception, offering curated booking packages ranging from nightlife and festivals to private jets and hotels.
Now he’s ready to disrupt the industry and turn it on its head.
His new company, Loop Experiences, is the first social travel app, transforming the way travel is discovered, trusted and booked. Think TikTok meets Expedia. Allowing users to share their bookable experiences within the app, seamlessly turns followers into customers.
“Travel booking sites are not cool, and lack the ability to capture the same user experience as social media. This void leaves travelers posting their experiences to social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or TikTok, but here’s the problem... it’s not bookable. Loop bridges the gap between social media and travel, making every piece of shared content instantly bookable within one ecosystem,” says DeLucca.
Jessica Tran, Engineer and Project Manager at Loop says, “With Loop’s advanced machine learning algorithm, we are able to provide highly curated experiences to the users’ individual feed. For the first time, bookable travel finds you.” This new feature is sure to grab the attention of the upcoming generation of travelers.
Social media has become the number one way for people to share their travels with others. According to Travel Professional News, 87% of millennials look to social media for travel inspiration. Instead of reading reviews, comparing prices, and hoping for the best, Loop users can instantly book the exact same trip they are experiencing virtually. Influencers will earn commission based on the amount of people that book a trip through their posts. By rewarding content creators for their efforts, Loop will incentivize people to share their stories with the world and help others book the best vacations of their lives. Another facet of Loop is the play-to-earn model. Users will earn reward points when they visit certain sponsored sights during their travels: a gelato shop in Rome sponsoring the Spanish Steps, or a crepe stand in Paris sponsoring Notre Dame. Much like the wildly popular Pokémon Go, users will be able to earn badges and level up as they progress along their journey.
“By having our reward system monetized through paid partnerships, we are able to gamify travel in a way never seen before. The Loop leveling feature is both fun and interactive, and will inspire users to find more authentic local experiences,” says DeLucca.
Whether you’re an influencer or a tech-savvy tourist, Loop will give you the freedom to travel on your own terms, and reward you for doing it. Currently in its beta stage, the app will be available to the public in early June 2022.

HOW TO
PITCH AN IDEA
— By Ryan Romeo
I walked out of that meeting knowing that I wouldn’t get funded. Months of planning and dreaming, over in a moment. A group of people with power to fund my idea said no. And as I wracked my brain and mentally searched the last hour of conversation I knew I had to learn from this. In my years I’ve pitched ideas for events that cost millions and heard yes, and I’ve pitched ideas that went nowhere.
But over the years, I’ve chosen to get better not bitter. Here are a few things I’ve learned when presenting. These aren’t a guarantee but they’re a great start!
1. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.
Are the people you’re presenting to excited about big vision? Are they primarily concerned about ROI? Do they take bold risk or are they more conservative. You have to get in their head and value their perspective to craft your presentation effectively. You are not entitled to their excitement. This is a big one. If you come into that room assuming that everyone will be excited about your dream, you will soon be flustered and even come across condescending. If they aren’t excited, it’s your fault. Maybe start with a story that illustrates your dream. Don’t dive straight into business, slow down to build vision and cast why you are passionate about this. Side note: If you aren’t passionate about it, nobody will be. If you aren’t excited, you probably shouldn’t pitch it.
2. BE PREPARED.
Now, this seems like a no-brainer. But seriously, come prepared. Have deep dives into budget on hand just in case. Have mock-up logos and graphics. Come looking like you know what you’re doing. The more prepared you are, the more relaxed you’ll be.
