Website presents awards

Friday, April 26, 2002 | 11:34 a.m.

Tom Hantges, publisher of vegashotspots.com, presented awards for the 10 most influential people of Las Vegas during a premiere party for the website Thursday. The Internet site is a compilation of recommendations of where to go, stay, eat and drink in Las Vegas and lists local attractions. The site also selects cultural favorites, including songs, movies and celebrities with Las Vegas connections as well as a timeline illustrating the city's history, paying homage to "the old Las Vegas" and the city's colorful mob-influenced past.

Owned by Hantges, the Internet site will generate revenue with banner advertising and commissions from the sale of tourist packages posted on the site. A spokeswoman said the editorial recommendations were compiled by a journalist and were made independently of advertising decisions. The site currently has one advertiser, the Royal hotel-casino, which is controlled by Hantges.
