Media Inquiries - About the Founders

Bio:

Maria Ngo was born in Saigon, Vietnam. During the war, she and her parents escaped to the United States. She and her family lived in an Arkansas refugee camp before relocating to Belton, Missouri where she would grow up. Her parents made great sacrifices so that she could attend private schools. They wanted the American dream for her. They wanted her to know freedom and opportunity rather than pain and oppression.

Maria’s desire to make something of herself has always been about giving back to her family. She has been able to that by finding her purpose and passion when her husband, Ray DuGray, introduced her to entrepreneurship twelve years ago.

Today Maria is …

I like to think I am the "Oprah" of Las Vegas as the co-host & producer of THE STRIP VIEW LIVE! Success Talk Show with my husband and business partner Ray DuGray. We have been happily married for over 12 years.

I love what we do! We interview celebrities, entrepreneurs, and industry experts on their success messages and get to share positive media with the world from the red carpet, backstage, in-studio, live events, and on location.

I have had the tremendous honor of interviewing hundreds of some of the most successful people people in the world including Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Dennis Hopper, Smokey Robinson, Donald Trump, and Derek Fisher just to name a few.

I am also thrilled to be the co-founder of VEGAS CONNECTIONS - an online community to truly connect the world to Las Vegas.

I truly live a blessed life with my amazing man Ray and our adventure dog, a basset hound-dachshund mix that goes by several names "Buddy", "Buddy Boy" or his hip hop name "Bud-wy-zah".

We enjoy the outdoors hiking, kayaking, snow boarding, swimming, and boating. We treasure all of the Vegas entertainment, attractions, shows, and events. Also love to watch movies with a huge bucket of popcorn and REAL butter! And that's how we roll...
