Nelly Prado, the founder and President of Aurora Marble & Tile, grew up in the stone business in Peru. Her grandfather was a mining engineer whose family owned (and still owns) a travertine and slate mine in the south of Peru; he financed her American education when he sent her to Reno, NV as an exchange student to study business. Although her passion was fashion (she had always wanted to attend fashion design school), she followed her grandfather's wishes of starting a natural stone import business. Together they created a vision- to build a world-class natural stone business in Reno, Nevada.
Because rocks were in her blood and because she enjoyed colors and textures, it was easy for Nelly to fashion such a top-tier business. When travertine, marble, and granite samples began arriving from around the world, Nelly was able to easily get her first few jobs- casinos in the Reno/Tahoe area, including the El Dorado, John Ascuaga's Nugget, Ceasar's in Tahoe, and then Squaw Valley. Presently, in Las Vegas, Aurora Marble & Tile is supplying materials to The Mandalay Bay Casino, The Mirage Casino, The Luxor Casino, The Bellagio, Monte Carlo, Hard Rock Casino and many other prominent casinos in the area and around the world; as well as many highend residential homes.
