VEGAS TURNER

Vegas Turner, Miss Missouri Teen USA 2026, grew up in Springfield, Missouri, where she was introduced to her passion of performing and being on stage. A pillar of the community, Springfield Little Theatre, was where Vegas did her first musical at just 6 years old. Going on to do over 25 productions, become a competitive dancer, and have a love for pageantry since the age of 4, Vegas found her home on the stage.

At 14 years old Vegas was accepted into a conservatory in New York City, The Institute For American Musical Theatre. Since graduating, Vegas and her mom opened up a Vintage Boutique in the East Village of Manhattan, The Downtown Funk and Junk, that has them traveling across Missouri sourcing vintage pieces to take back to the big city. Pursuing a career as a Radio City Rockette, at 17 years old Vegas auditioned for the iconic Christmas Spectacular and was invited back to their Fundamental training program, to continue training in consideration for the Rockettes.

With a love for the children in her community and a heart for service Vegas created her own organization Dress Up Your Dreams, where she insures that all children, no matter their circumstances, have the opportunity to dream big and dive into a world of day dreaming, imagination and inspiration.

Vegas plans to make Missouri proud representing her home state on the Miss Teen USA stage, showing off her grace, since of humor, and passion for the stage.
