We had the good fortune of connecting with Michelle Lorenzo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michelle, how do you think about risk?
Risk taking is about dealing with uncertainty. To me, its about getting out of your comfort zone. Taking risks makes you braver, stronger, and more confident. You build faith in yourself knowing that you have done it before and that you can do it again and even better! When you challenge yourself to failure and you complete your goal, you automatically progress with confidence because of your success. In order to keep growing, one must move past fear of failure. Risk taking has played a major role in my life at the gym pursuing my passion for forever fitness. I accept risks everyday striving to lift heavier and move faster perfecting my technique daily. In my career, I have continuously moved upward and never stayed where I was comfortable. I have always been driven and always needed to be challenged facing failure and the unknown.. To me, staying in your comfort zone is comparable to being dead. There is no life or energy or change or anything. It is stagnant!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am a proud REALTOR® in Las Vegas, Nevada! It is quite simple… my passion is to make people smile with 110 % satisfaction. My career began in 1993 in the hospitality industry at The Mirage after graduating from UNLV with a B.S. in Business Administration majoring in both Accounting and Finance. I learned quickly from Steve Wynn, billionaire casino mogul, the importance of customer service. I took what I learned and I applied it to my real estate business I am fortunate to be a part of the fabulous Brooks Team at eXp Realty specializing in both the luxury high-rise and residential home market. The Brooks Team goes above and beyond by providing unparalleled honest and ethical first-class service service to its clients. My real estate career began in 2002 which lead me to Panorama Towers, a $600 million aqua-blue glass luxury high rise community located on Dean Martin Drive I am extremely proud of my success at selling over $20M in high rise luxury condos. I was sought out by the developers of one the first high rise projects in Las Vegas which forever changed our skyline! I took extreme care of every human being that walked through our door. I made each client my priority and provided the best help possible and that is what I do today as a REALTOR ®️ on The Brooks Team at eXp Realty. Each client is my priority. My goal with each of my clients is to help them achieve their real estate goals with a smile from the beginning of their search to receiving their keys!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Nothing better than beginning a day outdoors and moving with a healthy hike at scenic world-famous Red Rock Canyon. The fresh air is energizing and the views are breathtaking! Another favorite spot of mine is Lee Canyon Ski and Snowboard Resort which is located about 45 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Being an avid snowboarder, I head up there whenever I see fresh snow in the forecast. This intimate resort feels like home away from home. It is the most amazing backyard escape for discovering adventure in the mountains. Another way to experience the outdoor beauty in Las Vegas is mountain biking. Late Night Trailhead is a gorgeous trail near Red Rock Canyon for all biking levels. If you go at the right time, you will run into wild burrows! A day trip to the Pioneer Saloon is a must-do. It is the oldest drinking establishment in Southern Nevada since 1913. After hitting these spots during the daytime, I highly recommend going to Bellagio to see its musical fountain show located on an 8.5 acre man-made lake with 4,792 lights which shoot up 460 feet. Lots of great photos to be taken here with the Paris Hotel’s replica of the Eiffel Tower directly across the street. A nice stroll inside to the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens is a definite on our itinerary! The seasonal designs are an out of this world-an experience like no other. There are so many places and things to do in Las Vegas! The list goes on and on…. One the newest hot spots in Vegas is Resorts World. It’s located on the site of the historic Stardust on the northern end of the LV Strip… It is owned by the Malaysia-based Genting Group with an Asian theme. It is the latest of what Las Vegas has to offer. Since I have been a resident of Las Vegas since 1977, I tend to enjoy sharing local secret spots to visitors. So I am originally from New Jersey and half Italian so I would definitely include Pasta Mia West for dining. I love old world traditional Italian dishes. Owner and Chef, Armando has received many awards for over two decades. Tiramisu is my fave dessert! It is my sweet tooth’s choice at this fine restaurant. For spectacular sushi, I recommend Spicy Tuna located in Henderson, NV. The fish is always fresh and Eddie, the owner, is always a joy to see! The Bar Special is my favorite roll. My son developed a love for this roll when he was a only 4 years old! If you desire pizza, Carmines is my go-to spot, another local hotspot in Henderson, NV ! These are only a few of my faves for your Las Vegas itinerary-there is always something new to experience here. The Las Vegas Grand Prix is coming in 2023- Viva Las Vegas!
