How It All Started
LV MODE was founded in 2026 by Tony Smith, Sheneka Gunn and Celeste Holmes, as a premier, high-quality bi-monthly publication dedicated to the power, culture, and evolution of Las Vegas.Created at the intersection of capital and couture, LV MODE was built to reflect the modern identity of the 702 — a city no longer defined solely by entertainment, but by enterprise, leadership, innovation, and style.
As Las Vegas continues to expand as a global business hub, sports destination, political force, and fashion influence, LV MODE stands as its authoritative print and digital voice. Every issue delivers elevated journalism, striking visuals, and curated insight into the executives, policymakers, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community leaders shaping the city’s future.Founded on the belief that Las Vegas deserves a publication as ambitious and refined as its growth, we envision LV MODE not as another lifestyle magazine — but as a civic and cultural institution.Bi-monthly (2026, monthly starting Jan 2027)Bold. Sophisticated. Strategic. LV MODE is a publication Las Vegas can be proud of — and proud to support.
Our photography embraces the bold contrast and color that define Las Vegas itself: the glow of neon lights, the elegance of fashion, the architecture of the skyline, and the authentic faces of the community. Layouts are crafted to give images room to breathe while maintaining a sophisticated, modern aesthetic.In LV MODE, visuals do more than decorate the page—they elevate the narrative. Business leaders appear with the confidence of executives shaping the city.
Artists and performers are captured in moments that reflect the rhythm of Las Vegas culture. Community leaders and organizations are presented with the dignity and respect their work deserves.Simply put, our graphics and images are beyond reproach and intentionally eye-catching. The goal is to create a publication that feels as dynamic as the city it represents.LV MODE is designed to stand out—because Las Vegas itself never blends into the background.
