Michaels most recently worked in private practice at Argentum Law, a Las Vegas-based law firm she joined as a partner nearly three years ago. She’s also a former general counsel at Wynn Las Vegas, a luxury hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

“We are all very excited for her and the new opportunity with the Fontainebleau,” John Sande IV, Argentum’s managing partner, said in an email.

The long-delayed Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which includes a 67-story luxury resort and customizable convention space on the north end of the Strip, is scheduled to open by the fourth quarter of 2023 after generating billable hours for lawyers across the US for more than a decade.
