HOW IT ALL STARTED
Before the rise of platforms like Yelp, Thumbtack, and HomeAdvisor, there was a simpler, more personal way to find trustworthy professionals—a method built on real connections and genuine recommendations. In 1998, Century 21 MoneyWorld a leadng local real estate company, launched the Connections Program, designed to help homeowners find reliable contractors and service providers.
Fast forward to today, thousands of referrals and satisfied customers later, MyLasVegasConnections.com and our Home Benefits Magazine continue that tradition—helping homeowners, real estate agents, and residents find quality local service providers.
Our Roots in Real Estate
The original Connections Program was born out of necessity. Many of our real estate clients—newcomers to Las Vegas and first-time homebuyers—needed reliable yet affordable contractors for home improvements. Without personal connections, they turned to us for guidance. Over time, the program expanded beyond home improvement, growing into a trusted network of professionals across various industries.
While online review sites have become the norm, they often come with fake reviews, manipulated ratings, and unreliable reputations. We’ve maintained a different approach, focusing on genuine feedback and direct referrals from satisfied customers. Our goal has always been to ensure quality, reliability, and trust—not just clicks and ratings.
A Well-Kept Secret—Now Open to Everyone
For years, our program was one of Las Vegas’s best-kept secrets, available exclusively to REALTORS and their clients from some of the city's largest real estate firms. Now, we’ve made it accessible to all Las Vegas residents through MyLasVegasConnections.com, offering a direct path to vetted, reputable contractors and local businesses.
How We Vet Our Contractors
The professionals in our network aren’t just randomly listed—they’re personally referred by satisfied customers and undergo a thorough vetting process. We verify:
Licensing, insurance, and bonding
Business history with the Better Business Bureau
Standing with the Nevada State Contractors Board
While we don’t directly control nor guarantee their work, we hold our contractors to high standards of honesty, integrity, and value. We will and have removed contractors when they lose their focus on customer satisfaction. Fortunately, it is not often. See our terms and conditions page at the bottom of our directory for more details regarding the use of our contractors.
Our Founder & Commitment to Quality
Our founder and current president, Mike West, is a Las Vegas native who launched Century 21 MoneyWorld in 1992, growing it into one of the top 10 Century 21 franchises in the U.S.
“Our clients were always asking for contractor recommendations,” Mike recalls. “With over 300 agents, keeping track of reliable professionals was a challenge. That’s why we streamlined and formalized the process—turning it into a dedicated program within our company.”
Today, that same program is stronger than ever, connecting homeowners with top-tier professionals who deliver real results.
