#4 Noah Gragson NASCAR Xfinity Series driver
Noah Gragson was born in Las Vegas on July 15, 1998, and he has made it his life's mission to go fast. He eventually worked his way up to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and The Xfinity Series, where he would amass seven victories, 54 top fives, and 101 top-tens. He has even wet his feet in the NASCAR Cup Series but hasn't made the expected splash yet.
With that being said, Gragson is doing some of the best work of his career in the Xfinity Series right now and sat sixth after February 2022's season opener at Daytona International Speedway. He even finished third in 2021's season standings, earning three wins in the process.

#3 Jon Moxley AEW Superstar
There’s just something about Jonathon Good, AKA, Jon Moxley that people seemed to like throughout his Pro wrestling career. The Las Vegas native was always known for being a loner backstage, but that only made the audience love him more. He just had that underdog, anti-hero personality that people connected with. Whether it was his time in WWE as Dean Ambrose as a part of the Shield faction, or his eventual run with the company’s top title, fans loved him the whole way through. They even loved him when he departed WWE for AEW and went on to become one of the top stars in that company as well.

#2 Aaron Fotheringham WCMX Stunt star
Where most people see barriers, Las Vegas native Aaron Fotheringham sees limitless possibilities. It all started one day at a skatepark, where he was watching others play and wondered if he could do that? After talking with his dad, they decided to give it a try and he eventually was able to go down the ramp without falling down. Since then, the young man has been hooked on BMX and has quite a few impressive accolades to his name at just 30 years old. He made the 2005 Vegas Amjam BMX Finals, performed at the Paralympics, and even worked as a stunt double in Hollywood for Kevin McHale.

#1 Demarco Murray NFL player
Remember when Demarco Murray was the biggest thing in pro football? He could mow defenders down, gain big chunks of yards, and seemed to be the answer to helping Tony Romo get back to the Super Bowl. Believe it or not, the former leading rusher is also a Las Vegas native! While his career in the NFL might feel like forever and a day ago, Murray was once an MVP among fantasy football players.
Murray shocked the NFL in 2014 by deciding t to leave the Dallas Cowboys for the Philadelphia Eagles to create what was supposed to be a dream team. That didn’t end up working out, which eventually led to him going to the Tennesse Titans. For a few years, his numbers were decent, but a far cry from what they once were. Murray decided to retire in 2018.
