Most Prestigious Firms in Vegas--i.e. the winners of the Chambers ranking Olympics

Alright, so there's a lot of rankings in the past few posts about which firms are considered the most prestigious by Chambers and Partners in the practice areas of Commercial, Environmental, Gaming, Labor & Employment, Litigation, and Real Estate law.

Since lawyers are extremely competitive, I figure six ranking lists is not going to satisfy the readers. So, in order to simplify things with a completely superficial analysis of which Vegas firm is the most prestigious (according to Chambers and Partners rankings), I present:

The Awards Ceremony for the Law Firm Rankings Olympics
The big winners are Lionel Sawyer & Collins, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, Jones Vargas, and Holland & Hart

[Point system (based on Gold, Silver, Bronze and "Other Notable" rankings from the past few posts): 5 pts for Gold, 3 pts for Silver, 1 pt for Bronze and 1/2 pt for Other Notable.]
