The Middle Ground

Aging Well in Las Vegas: The Expo that Inspires Longevity, Wellness, and Community

Tom Letizia

On today’s episode of The Middle Ground with Tom Letizia, we shine a spotlight on one of Southern Nevada’s most anticipated community events — the Aging Wellness Active Lifestyle Expo, happening this Saturday, October 18th at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

Joining Tom are three dynamic guests who are helping make this year’s event the biggest yet:

  • Wanda English Blair, Vice President of Marketing for the Las Vegas Review-Journal,
  • Steve Major, Multi-Media Sales Executive for the Review-Journal, and
  • Marla Letizia, Founder of The Long-Life Era® and featured speaker at the Expo.

Together, they dive into the vision behind Nevada’s largest wellness event, with more than 70 exhibitors, live entertainment, health screenings, fitness demos, and inspiring talks — including Marla’s own session, “A Mindset to Live to 100 Years or More.”

The conversation explores how the Review-Journal and Optum–Nevada have built this annual tradition into a community celebration of vitality, purpose, and lifelong wellness — showing that aging well isn’t just possible, it’s powerful.

🎧 Tune in for insights on longevity, community, and how Las Vegas continues to redefine active living at every age.
