Q&A WITH ABBI SILVER
For new court, judge packs her robes and hits the road Through school graduations and judicial elections, Judge Abbi Silver’s career has kept her in Southern Nevada. ¶ That’s about to change. Silver, a lifelong Las Vegan, was appointed by Gov. Brian Sandoval in December to serve as one of three judges on the state’s newly formed appellate court. ¶ Now, the UNLV graduate and former Clark County District judge will preside statewide over Nevada’s 2.8 million residents. And she’ll be traveling a lot to do it. ¶ As she settled into the role, Silver spoke with VEGAS INC about the transition. She and fellow appellate court judges Jerome Tao and Michael Patrick Gibbons have been setting up their new offices at the Supreme Court building in Carson City and the Regional Justice Center in downtown Las Vegas. How is the transition going so far? This is a big change in my life, and it’s an exciting change. It has been a whirlwind. We were called by the governor Dec. 17, and he advised us that we were appointed. Within an hour, we were called by the Supreme Court and given an itinerary. As soon as we were sworn in, we started doing training and learning how to use the new case-management system. It’s a whole different process from what we have in District Court. What is the biggest difference you anticipate compared with your old job? Traveling. I’ll be traveling a lot throughout the state and meeting with attorneys from all over the state versus just Clark County. I’ll be going everywhere from Elko to Esmeralda to Washoe County. Now, I’m a judge for the entire state. We’re having discussions about how we’ll have to manage our travel. Before, I’d be gone only for judicial education programs one or two times a year, either in Las Vegas or Reno. I’ve already been to Carson City four times in January alone. What drew you to the job? This bench is making history, and that opportunity may come once in a lifetime. Appellate work is something I have always aspired to do, and I’m grateful I was given the opportunity. The creation of this court is a real victory for the citizens of Nevada. We’ll be able to handle cases more effectively and efficiently. What is the workload like so far? Are cases different or more complex at the appellate level? We recently issued 45 decisions — 34 were criminal and 11 were civil. We’re trying to get at least 50 decisions out per month because we have a backlog of 800, so we have a

“This bench is making history, and that opportunity may come once in a lifetime. Appellate work is something I have always aspired to do, and I’m grateful I was given the opportunity.” — Justice Abbi Silver pretty high goal. We think it will probably take three years or so to get the backlog taken care of. They’re the same type of cases I was seeing in District Court, because they’re appeals from that court. We get all criminal cases except for those involving the death penalty. There is one difference: I did not get family law cases before. Now, we have a contested divorce case that we’re reviewing in chambers. That is an area I don’t have a lot of experience
in, so I’ve been catching up by reading other cases. But for the most part, they’re the exact same. Is your access to legal records different? We’re getting access to more internal documents and drafts that will be very useful for us. For example, if we’re deciding on a burglary case, which are very common, we’re able to look at previous cases that are similar to see
how the Supreme Court may have ruled. In addition to opinions, we get access to internal documents, as well as drafts and briefs. This is information that isn’t available to anyone but people within the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. I’ve only been working here a little while, but the system so far seems very impressive. — Ana Ley

What’s on the horizon for construction industry
N
evada’s construction industry is a conglomeration of varied political interests. Commercial and industry project owners, designers, residential homeowners, general contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, materials and equipment suppliers, union benefit trust funds, lenders, surety and insurance companies and title insurers all are affected by changes to the state’s construction laws. With the entire government now controlled by Republicans, such groups can expect substantial change in 2015. Some areas to watch closely:

State’s top gaming regulator shares perspective as a physician, is of two minds on marijuana issue BY J.D. MORRIS STAFF WRITER
Nevada’s top gaming regulator hasn’t made his professional career in the casino industry or in the law, but he’s plenty experienced with both of those fields. Dr. Tony Alamo is the first non-attorney to serve as chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the body that has the final say over regulation of gambling in the state. Other parts of his background give him an understanding of gambling and regulatory affairs: His father was a longtime casino industry executive, and Alamo previously served on the state Athletic Commission. Alamo joined the Gaming Commission as a member in 2008 and last summer was appointed by Gov. Brian Sandoval to replace Chairman Peter Bernhard. In the half-year since Alamo took over the chairmanship, he has led the commission’s meetings on several high-profile gaming developments, including the opening of SLS Las Vegas and concerns about the background of Sam Nazarian, the businessman who led the creation of SLS. Alamo spoke with VEGAS INC about his duties on the commission and some of the most pressing issues facing the state’s gaming industry. If you had to pick the most significant moment or issue that has come up since you’ve been chairman, what would it be? That’s a tough question, because I’ll be honest with you: We’ve had so many. Keep in mind, in my tenure as a commissioner and now as a chairman, Las Vegas has suffered the worst recession it’s ever had. We’re here dealing with near closures of casinos and enormous restructurings; we’ve had to deal with the largest fines ever given to a licensee for issues with one of the sports books; we’ve dealt with issues of drug use, extortion; we’ve dealt with issues with slot parlors — it just goes on and on. Every meeting comes with something I think is going to be very important and could have an effect on gaming if we don’t do our job. What do you think your medical background adds to your perspective as chairman? Keep in mind the support that I have as chairman: I have the Attorney General’s Office, so I have all the legal representation at my disposal. We also have board members who are attorneys. So the fact that I’m not an attorney is definitely not a negative because of the support I have around me. The fact that I am a physician, believe it or not, I think it’s helped me quite a bit. It’s helped me in the way I think, the way I study, the way I decide things, my work ethic. On top of that, there’s been a topic that’s completely medically related, which is medical marijuana and gaming. Coincidentally, I think it’s put me right at the forefront of being able to objectively be part of those discussions. Let’s go into that a little bit. Why do medical marijuana and gaming need to be

totally separated? I wear two hats; we all do. We’re people with experiences and we’re regulators. My hat as a person with experience is a physician who truly believes that medical marijuana should be available. Unfortunately, I think the way it’s been enacted and put into place in Nevada and other states has caused a misfire. I think the need for medical marijuana — which is there, but small — has gotten confused with the want, which is large. And therefore, the demand is huge. But let me bookmark all that, because that’s me as a person. As a regulator, it’s very cut and dried and obvious: It’s against federal law. Period. It’s a Schedule I drug that the federal government has said has a high abuse potential and is against the law. We cannot allow our gaming licensees to participate in something against federal law. So the only thing that could maybe change your mind would be some sort of loosening on the federal level? If the federal government stopped making it against the law of the land, then that changes things. But right now, it is against the law. And we can’t allow our licensees to participate in anything that’s against the law. In a few years, what role do you see online gaming playing in the overall Nevada gaming market? For online gaming to work, you need liquidity. Liquidity means volume, lots of people playing. We all got to the race, we were all ready to go — the problem is, the starter gun never went off. The federal government didn’t open it up. Our governor tried, and I commend him for trying. When the federal government slowed down its approach, he went on his own and started to make compacts with other
states. But it’s just not enough. We do not have the population base to do it just within our state, or one or two smaller states, to make it viable. The fact that Ultimate Gaming closed its doors — the writing’s on the wall that it’s very pessimistic right now. I don’t think there’s any appetite at the federal level to open it up and allow interstate online gaming. Until you do that, it’s not financially viable. How concerned are you about illegal sports betting, given that the American Gaming Association is really looking at tackling that? We know how to do sports betting. We know how to regulate it, we know how to take care of it; it’s our expertise, and we’re comfortable doing it. There is an appetite now at the organizational athletic level to embrace sports betting — legal sports betting. The illegal is an enormous problem. Illegal betting is a platform for organized crime, money laundering and other nefarious acts. To continue the status quo, I think, is a mistake. The less illegal sports betting there is and the more legal sports betting there is, the better everyone is. When you’re done with this, looking back, what would constitute a successful stint as chairman for you? Of course, everybody always wants to leave a legacy in everything they do, and I just hope that when my time is up, that everybody around — from the regulators to the legislators to the industry — looks back and says: “Dr. Alamo was a true Nevadan and he helped the industry of gaming, which is the lifeblood of our state.” If I get people to remember me that way, I accomplished something. But every time I think my role as a regulator comes to an end, I end up doing something bigger and better. So I don’t know what my future will entail.

LAW QUARTERLY In upbeat speech, NLV mayor touts ‘strong plan to repair our city’ BY CONOR SHINE STAFF WRITER
In 2014, Mayor John Lee delivered his first State of the City address as North Las Vegas teetered on the brink of financial disaster, faced with a long-term deficit of $152 million. This year, Lee made his second State of the City speech with North Las Vegas facing a much different outlook. As a result of deals struck with public unions last April, the city’s projected budget deficit over the next seven years has been slashed nearly in half, from $152 million to $78 million. Vacant space at City Hall has been leased and key executive positions have been filled. “We have put together a strong plan to repair our city, and we’re executing on it,” Lee said during the nearly hourlong speech at Texas Station. “North Las Vegas
will be a story of optimism written with achievement and hard work.” After guiding the city as it avoided financial insolvency, Lee is turning his attention to major projects that can help revitalize the city’s economy. Leading the way is a plan to create a tax-free zone on 700 acres at the Apex Industrial Park to lure a few major businesses to the site. By doing so, the city hopes to pull together funding to finish water and electricity hookups needed to open the remaining 6,000 acres of the park for development. Still, he urged caution with the city’s recovery. “North Las Vegas is not out of the hole. We’re continuing to work just as hard as we did last year,” he said. “We put a sevenyear forecast together. I’ll need all seven years to really make North Las Vegas stand on its own.”

Nevada casinos win $11 billion in 2014, a slight drop from 2013 BY J.D. MORRIS STAFF WRITER
Nevada’s gaming revenue declined slightly in 2014 after several years of consistent increases, the state reported. The Gaming Control Board said casinos won a little more than $11 billion in 2014, a 1.1 percent drop from a year ago, when gaming revenue increased by 2.6 percent. Revenue had been steadily going up for the past few years since the worst of the recession-induced slump. The Strip’s gaming revenue dropped 2.1 percent to $6.37 billion for the year, while Clark County’s revenue went down 1.3 percent to $9.55 billion. A lot of the reason behind the declines comes down to one word: baccarat. That game’s $1.5 billion statewide revenue was down 5.9 percent from 2013. Gaming Control Board senior research analyst Michael
Lawton said the year’s drop ended five consecutive years of increases for baccarat revenue. Lawton saw positive developments in slot and sports wagering revenue for the year. Slot revenue in 2014 was “basically flat” compared with 2013, and sports wagering revenue rose 11.8 percent, he said. Things were also a little better elsewhere in Clark County. Downtown Las Vegas revenue rose 2.1 percent to $511.4 million for 2014, while Laughlin and North Las Vegas saw increases of 1 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively. The Boulder Strip, however, saw a 1.8 percent decline for the year. The picture in December was worse for the state overall. Gaming revenue for the month was $950.7 million, down 8.06 percent compared with a year earlier. The Strip’s December gaming revenue was $555.2 million, a 16.41 percent decline from 2013.

Name added to casino ‘Black Book’ BY J.D. MORRIS STAFF WRITER
Gaming regulators have added another name to Nevada’s famous “Black Book,” a list of people barred from entering any of the state’s casinos. Late last month, the Nevada Gaming Commission unanimously approved adding Tasia Musa to the list. Commissioners were told Musa met multiple conditions that can warrant inclusion on the list, including convictions for gambling-related crimes. Musa, who was not present, is the
33rd person on the list. Under state law, the list “may include any person whose presence in the establishment is determined by the (Gaming Control Board) and the commission to pose a threat to the interests of this state or to licensed gaming, or both.” Once added to the list, a person’s death is the only sure way to be removed from it. Former Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman has frequently said he thinks the list is unconstitutional.

LAW QUARTERLY PROJECT NEON, FROM PAGE 1
Attorney: Landowners must be ‘made whole’ domain law. The Nevada Department of Transportation toes the line between being a steward of taxpayer dollars and offering a fair deal to property owners. But two of the biggest eminent domain attorneys in town argue the transportation agency is dragging out the process far too long, further harming landowners. THE PROJECT Project Neon calls for several braided ramps, similar to ones along the U.S. 95 interchange at Rancho Drive, as well as a high-occupancy vehicle flyover ramp that will connect car-pool lanes from U.S. 95 to I-15’s express lanes. The changes require redesigns along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and a complete reconstruction of the I-15 and Charleston Boulevard interchange. To get it all done, the state must purchase dozens of parcels using eminent domain, a point of contention among owners. Eminent domain is a government’s right to appropriate private property for public use. Landowners have no recourse to stop the sale, but they get paid for their land — the appraised fair market value plus the cost of moving. Landowners can appeal if they think the price is too low. Coming up with the right price isn’t easy. “The state has a limited amount of money for acquisition,” state transportation board member Frank Martin said in August. The goal is to have all price disputes resolved by 2016, when construction is set to begin. NDOT Director Rudy Malfabon thinks it can be done. “We are confident the state will acquire the primary parcels that will allow construction to commence in early 2016, although land acquisition will occur throughout the course of the 3 1/3-year-long project,” Malfabon said. Project Neon is expected to reduce travel time by 28 percent and create $110 million in annual savings through improved productivity, Malfabon said. LANDOWNER PERSPECTIVE For the past 15 years, local attorneys Brian Padgett and Kermitt Waters have worked on behalf of land-

“Unless you can get back to the same type of property, you’re not made whole. You’re just helping them finance that project for the government.” — Kermitt Waters, eminent domain attorney
owners facing eminent domain. Padgett recently argued a case for Ad America before the state Supreme Court. Ad America owns four parcels in the downtown area financed under one loan. Three of the four are set to be taken under eminent domain, and as a result have low vacancy rates — 30 to 40 percent, Padgett said. That jeopardizes the fourth parcel, which has high occupancy. The landowner is on the verge of foreclosure and is waiting for a Supreme Court decision, which could take up to a year. “It’s a situation where these landowners have a hard time filling apartments, offices and industrial buildings,” Padgett said. “As a result, they’re hanging on by their fingernails. The landowners have become involuntary custodians of their own properties.” Malfabon called the acquisition of property through eminent domain “a very meticulous process” that requires in-house counsel, right-of-way expertise and outside experts including appraisers, engineers and consultants. Malfabon said the agency is
moving as quickly as it can. “NDOT is managing the acquisition of parcels as best as possible with the resources available, and we respectfully request the patience of affected property owners as we diligently pursue the acquisition process in manageable stages,” he said. VALUATION DIFFERENCES Waters said zoning issues play a huge role in price gaps between NDOT’s offers and what landowners have in mind. Sometimes an appraisal uses existing zoning, which may not be the highest and best use. “If it’s a home next to a casino, then the highest and best use is not a home,” Waters said. Malfabon said NDOT has kept an open mind during the process. “Our goal is to reach an agreement with each owner,” he said. “When the owner makes a counteroffer that is supported by the market data, we will reconsider the original offer amount. However, there is little the state can do when owners either refuse to participate in the process or make unrealistic demands that are not support-
ed by the market data.” Waters and Padgett say landowners need to be “made whole.” They note that just compensation is defined as a “sum of money, necessary to place the property owner back in the same position monetarily, without any governmental offsets, as if the property had never been taken.” Compensation can include interest and attorneys’ fees. Negotiations have yielded wildly different outcomes. In one recent settlement, Waters’ client received $3 million, more than triple NDOT’s initial $700,000 offer. Another received 37 times the amount initially offered. “Unless you can get back to the same type of property, you’re not made whole. You’re just helping them finance that project for the government,” Waters said. Early on, Waters went to trial with just about every case. Now, more are being settled before they go to court. Malfabon said NDOT had done its best to be fair by using independent appraisers and allowing owners to accompany the appraiser when he or she visits the property. Landowners also are encouraged to bring forth relevant information concerning the value of the property. Owners are provided a copy of the appraisal when presented with an offer. They then have the opportunity to make a counteroffer, too. FUTURE NDOT has approximately $250 million budgeted for land acquisitions related to Project Neon. About $100 million comes from revenue-backed bonds and the rest from federal and state fuel tax revenue. Malfabon estimated about 100 more parcels still need to be acquired. Offers have been made to 39 landowners. Twenty-one parcels are in the appraisal process. Agreements have been made with 18 property owners and negotiations are underway with 21, Malfabon said. How the process is going depends on whom you ask. Malfabon has a much more upbeat take than many. “We’re more than halfway through assembling the project parcels,” he said. “The acquisition process, generally speaking, has been smooth thus far.”
