Biography

Closes more than $1 billion in real estate and hospitality transactions annually. Shaping the future of Las Vegas through work on high-stakes development projects.

If there is a marquee project happening in Las Vegas, the odds are high that Angela Otto has a substantial role in it. Few lawyers in Nevada, or across the country, have more experience managing the real estate components of large-scale hospitality and gaming transactions. Angela’s background in corporate and real estate law makes her a powerhouse attorney with brands such as Caesars Entertainment, MGM and Wynn Resorts relying on her legal counsel.

Angela also advises clients on other major commercial real estate, development and finance projects. She played a pivotal role as Nevada counsel to the Clark County Stadium Authority in the development of the $1.9 billion Raiders' Allegiant Stadium. Angela also represented the City of Henderson in the sale and development of the Las Vegas Raiders’ team headquarters and practice facility. Clients seek out her general commercial counsel when looking to acquire or dispose of hotels, other businesses and/or real property, develop or lease real property or obtain financing.

Invested in making the Las Vegas community a better place to live, Angela dedicates significant time to volunteering. She represented the Smith Center for the Performing Arts in its development, lease and operating agreements with the City of Las Vegas on a pro bono basis and serves on its president’s advisory council. She was recognized by HELP of Southern Nevada for her work leading a pro bono team of 15 Brownstein attorneys to develop the Shannon West Homeless Youth Center.
