Originally from The Bronx, N.Y., Steve Bornfeld is a veteran journalist, having spent 35 years in daily newspapers and magazines in New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and, for the past 22 years, in Las Vegas.
As an entertainment/feature writer, editor and columnist, his work has appeared in the New York Post, the Boston Herald, the Hollywood Reporter and the Gannett and Hearst newswires, as well as locally in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas Weekly, Vegas Seven, Las Vegas Life, Desert Companion and Showbiz Weekly.

As a Bronx boy at heart, his only complaint about Las Vegas is that he can’t take the subway to work.
