Her background in real estate and corporate law makes her a powerhouse attorney with brands such as Caesars Entertainment, MGM and Wynn Resorts relying on her legal counsel. In fact, she closes more than $1 billion in real estate and hospitality transactions annually, shaping the future of Las Vegas through her work on high-stakes development projects.

Turriciano Otto advises clients on other major commercial real estate, development and finance projects.
