Michiko is an attorney at Las Vegas Sands Corp.

This week, Las Vegas was shaken to its core by an unimaginable act of violence. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the first responders. The acts of kindness and outpouring of support around our city have shown the strength and compassion of both those professionals who in many cases risked their lives in responding, and all of our neighbors and friends who did so much to help. Las Vegas is our home. In times of the unthinkable, we are humbled by the sacrifices of others and heartened by the warmth, generosity, and spirit of our community.
