Pete Ernaut: Resilience, Reinvention & the Future of Fabulous Las Vegas
In this episode of The Middle Ground with Tom Letizia, Tom and Russell sit down with one of Nevada’s most influential voices — Pete Ernaut, Partner and President of Government & Public Affairs at R&R Partners.
Pete opens up about his extraordinary journey from Nevada legislator to strategic powerhouse at R&R — and how surviving a life-threatening leukemia diagnosis reshaped his outlook on life, leadership, and public service. The conversation dives deep into R&R’s iconic legacy, from creating “What Happens Here, Stays Here” to launching the new “Fabulous” campaign that’s redefining how the world sees Las Vegas.
Together, they explore how value, storytelling, and authenticity will shape the next chapter of the Las Vegas brand — and why resilience, both personal and civic, is what keeps this city shining bright.
It’s a masterclass in communication, reinvention, and what it means to stay fabulous — Las Vegas style.
