📢 Today at Middle Ground, we had the privilege of welcoming Howard Stutz, a distinguished journalist with nearly four decades of experience in Las Vegas!

Currently a senior reporter at The Nevada Independent, Howard specializes in gaming, tourism, and sports business. His in-depth reporting has earned him numerous prestigious honors in journalism, making him one of the foremost experts on Nevada’s gaming industry.

Howard joined The Nevada Independent in May 2021 and has continued to provide comprehensive coverage of gaming and tourism. He has also held two significant roles with the Las Vegas Review-Journal (1987-1991 and 2004-2016), earning multiple awards from the Nevada Press Association, including Best Local Column in 2016. Notably, Howard and his team made headlines in 2015 by uncovering Sheldon Adelson’s secret acquisition of the Review-Journal—a groundbreaking investigative piece that earned critical acclaim.

A Southern California native and proud Dodgers fan, Howard now calls Nevada home, where he lives with his wife Valorie and daughter Brianna. When he’s not writing, you’ll likely find him at UNLV football games, Las Vegas Aviators matchups, or Vegas Golden Knights games. His passion for sports is as strong as his dedication to journalism.

Howard, it's an honor to have you with us today. Now I know why I like you—you’re a fellow Dodgers fan! Love that. Let's dive right in. I’d like to start with your investigative work on the Sheldon Adelson story. That was a huge moment in journalism. Can you walk us through how it all unfolded?

Thank you for being here, Howard, and thank you for your decades of service to the Las Vegas community through your exceptional reporting!
