SEE ABOVE THE SPORTS HERO Claim to fame: Pro golfer Ryan Moore will defend his victory in last year's Shriners Hospitals for Children Open when he takes the course at TPC Summerlin this month. Hitting (at) home: "I play so many tournaments where nobody's there," he says. But Moore, 30, can expect to see an army of UNLV Rebels from his alma mater, as well as friends and family, rooting for him on his home turf. Giving back: His success is Shriners' gain. The Birdies4Shriners program, created by Moore's corporate sponsor, the Las Vegas–based Shift4, donates money to the hospitals for every birdie, eagle, and ace he makes and allows the public to do the same. "That's a big part of being on the PGA tour," he says. "It's about giving back, and that was really a perfect relationship with them." THE NIGHTLIFE KING Rocking revenue: When Alex Cordova joined Angel Management Group in 2008, it was his job to make MGM Grand's Wet Republic a celeb magnet and DJ destination. By 2009 its gross revenue had more than doubled, from $5 million to $13 million. Star power: These days, the AMG marketing vice president, 35, is the man behind Hakkasan Las Vegas, pulling in resident DJs like Tiësto and Calvin Harris and stars such as Jason Statham and Vanessa Hudgens. Only in Vegas: "We haven't flooded the market with the same product, which is a common mistake in the hospitality sector," Cordova says. Hakkasan offers a unique experience—such as fine dining, hip-hop, or electronic dance music—on each of its five levels, a concept that has raised AMG to new heights. "Thinking outside the box is essential." VEGASMAGAZINE.COM 99 098-101_V_Feat_Men_4pages_Oct13.indd 99 9/18/13 1:31 PM
