FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2025 Media Contact: Amanda C. Salas Mayor Liaison/Public Information Officer 505-426-5703 clvpio@lasvegasnm.gov   City of Las Vegas Announces the 2025 Reina De Las Vegas Las Vegas, NM  - The City of Las Vegas is proud to announce that Ms. Jaiden Alexis Saiz, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, has been selected as the 2025 Reina de Las Vegas. Jaiden is 16 years old and currently a junior at Robertson High School. She is the daughter of Adam and Shannon Saiz   and will be assuming the role from the 2024 Reina de Las Vegas, Jackie Romero. The Coronation Mass will take place on Thursday, July 3 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Sorrows Church, located at 403 Valencia Street in Las Vegas, NM. From a young age, Jaiden has shown great interest in becoming Reina. She frequently participated in local pageants as a child, through which she came to know the late Phillip Ortiz and Rosita Ellis, both of whom were highly involved in the Reina selection process. She admired seeing them in their gowns and crowns, proudly waving to the crowds during parades and events in Plaza Park, and dreamed of one day taking on the role herself. Jaiden’s motivation for becoming Reina stems from her passion for preserving and sharing the cultural traditions of Las Vegas. She hopes to inspire other young girls in the community to participate in this cherished tradition. Her goal is to promote the city and all it has to offer, from its history and values to its unique spirit. Many of her values and skills—especially her love of cooking and family traditions—were instilled in her at a young age by her grandmother, Maria Elena Segura.   The Reina de Las Vegas is a central figure in the city’s annual Fourth of July Fiestas, a tradition that dates back to. The celebration honors the town’s patron saints, Saint James and Saint Ann, who are believed to have brought essential water to the area, making agriculture possible in the region. Over the years, the fiestas have grown into a lively celebration of local culture, featuring parades, live music, food vendors, dancing, and numerous community activities. The role of Reina is a prestigious and meaningful one. Each year, a young woman is chosen—often through a pageant—to represent the community. The Reina serves as an ambassador for the city, participating in events that celebrate rich cultural history and strong community values of Las Vegas. The City of Las Vegas is deeply honored that Jaiden Saiz stepped forward to uphold one of our community’s most treasured traditions. Although she was the sole applicant this year, her unwavering enthusiasm, strong character, and heartfelt connection to our cultural heritage make her an outstanding choice. We are thrilled to welcome her as our 2025 Reina de Las Vegas and are confident she will represent our city with grace, dignity, and joy throughout the coming year. Her dedication reminds us all of the importance of passing down our customs to the next generation. ¡Con mucho orgullo y alegría — Que Vivan Las Fiestas!
