Immigration isn’t black and white Southern Nevada business owners discuss the complexities of the national debate about border security By Howard Riell | Special to VEGAS INC
Congressional inaction on U.S. immigration policy has frustrated Americans from all walks of life. But it’s especially frustrating for people in the restaurant industry — including in Las Vegas, where food service is a major cog in the region’s economy. ¶ “Today’s immigration system is broken,” officials with the National Restaurant Association said. immigration, Continued on page 15

VINTAGE VEGAS: DOWNTOWN BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT A WASTE OF MONEY In 1981, the Las Vegas City Council approved a $157,000 beautification project for eight downtown intersections. Workers decorated the streets with colorful ceramic tiles that created abstract gaming motifs. But just a few weeks after installation, the tiles began cracking under heavy traffic. Pictured here on Oct. 21, 1981, Stewart Construction Co. employees begin removing the troublesome tiles at Fremont
Street and Las Vegas Boulevard. The city and the contractor split the $80,000 cost of removing the tiles and replacing them with gold-colored concrete. The beautification project was a flop, but a similar effort could succeed today as several blocks of Fremont Street now are a pedestrian walkway. — REBECCA CLIFFORD-CRUZ

Q&A with joseph marsco
‘You are a student all of your life in this industry’ Joseph Marsco was just 26 years old when he joined Andre Rochat as general manager of Alizé, the French fine-dining restaurant on the 56th floor of the Palms. “The energy that was at the Palms was like nothing I had ever experienced and made for very exciting times,” Marsco said. Today, he is president and managing partner of Alizé and Andre’s Restaurant and Lounge at Monte Carlo, both Michelin-star restaurants. What is the most challenging part of your job? Adapting to the trends of business and being able to strategically forecast. The Las Vegas consumer has changed over the years. When I first came to Las Vegas, conventions sometimes would be four or five days long, and every restaurant in town was very busy. Today, major conventions may peak at one or two days, and customers’ spending habits have changed. A certain trade show that entertained in fine restaurants around town five or six years ago now may do much of its entertaining in nightclubs or events centers. This has changed my role in recent years; I spend a lot of time working on the business instead of in the business. How has the local restaurant industry evolved over your 15Joseph Marsco enjoys a cigar at the cigar lounge at Andre’s.

I could not imagine myself completely outside of industry, but I enjoy teaching and mentoring staff. I believe something that is missing from the industry overall is a focused standardized training for service. There are college courses on hospitality and culinary courses, but there is not extensive training for service and hospitality that I believe are essential to the success of any restaurant. One of my favorite quotes is from Rabindranath Tagore: “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and, behold, service was joy.” Whom do you admire and why? The person I most admire in the industry is Danny Meyer of Union Square Hospitality Group. Who would have thought a restaurateur would be named in Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world? What is your biggest pet peeve? Cellphones in the dining room, when the customer is consumed by the mobile phone and does not engage in the dining experience. It is hard to be at your best when the people you are performing for are not where they are. What is something people might not know about you? I am a fan of poetry and get a great deal of inspiration from the great poets. I enjoy all of them, from Rumi to William Blake, Maya Angelou to Mary Oliver.

Gordon Silver’s move leaves Hughes Center with swanky, 54,000-square-foot vacancy By eli segall Staff Writer
With stone flooring, glass conference-room walls, a private stairwell and a lounge with ventilation that sucked the cigar fumes from the room, the high-rise headquarters of law firm Gordon Silver conveyed a message: success. It cost a lot to look that good and live that large, with monthly rental rates of about $160,000, according to the landlord. So Gordon Silver, hollowed out by waves of defections this year, moved across town to a small, low-priced office suite, leaving a gaping hole in what’s widely viewed as Las Vegas’ top office park. Gordon Silver in June moved out of the Hughes Center, where it rented the top three floors of a nine-story building. The roughly 54,000-squarefoot office was gutted in a multimillion-dollar renovation not long ago, with the landlord reportedly footing much of the bill, and one lawyer says it’s a “beautiful” place that was built “to impress somebody.” Down to a skeletal staff after numerous lawyers, including its namesake leaders, quit this year, Gordon Silver now is based in a 2,883-squarefoot office. The suite is tucked away on the first floor of a three-story building on Rainbow Boulevard near the U.S. 95-Summerlin Parkway interchange. Management signed a six-month rental contract and paid the entire amount, $21,622.50, in advance. The firm was one of the biggest tenants at the Hughes Center by space rented, and its move out is a big setback for the landlords, who bought the 68-acre office park less than two years ago and have been working to fill the once-packed property. The owners are suing Gordon Silver for unpaid rent, alleging it owes about $786,000. Local office brokers are mixed on whether the landlord, Wall Street heavyweight the Blackstone Group, can quickly fill the vacancy. The three floors are designed for a law firm, one broker pointed out, adding that “only a couple of users in town are big enough to take all of it.” Generally, prospective office tenants have plenty of options in Las Vegas; the valley’s office market, still

bruised by the recession, has a vacancy rate of about 20 percent. But broker Soozi Jones Walker said there is a shortage of large, contiguous spaces, and other users besides law firms flock to “dense” space, or floors without open bullpen areas. The monthly rental rate in Gordon Silver’s former building, 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, is $2.90 per square foot, listings show. That’s above the valley average of $2.62 for Class A, or high-quality, offices and far above the average $1.91 for all space, according to Colliers International data. Still, the office park is a status symbol. It has prominent tenants, is near the Strip and McCarran International Airport, and offers a cluster of highquality buildings. “You’re looking for image” at the Hughes Center, said Walker, owner of Commercial Executives Real Estate Services. Management has been trying to find one tenant for Gordon Silver’s old space, or at least a user that could take two of the floors, said Hughes Center listing broker Taber Thill, of Colliers. The law firm left behind some furniture and equipment, and Thill is not sure what will happen to it all. But, he said last month, the office is in “great shape.” He said his group has given “quite a few tours” of the space and a few parties “have expressed interest.” Blackstone bought the park in Sep-
tember 2013 for $347 million. According to Thill, the property was about 68 percent occupied at the time and was 77 percent occupied before Gordon Silver vacated. By comparison, the park was 97.7 percent occupied in 2004, securities filings show. To boost business, Blackstone has renovated vacant suites and built a 12,000-square-foot retail plaza with lower-priced, casual dining options. John Woo, portfolio manager for the Blackstone unit Equity Office, said Gordon Silver was “one of the larger tenants here,” and that its office renovation was launched by the park’s previous owners and was nearing completion when Blackstone took charge. The overhaul cost more than $100 per square foot, according to Thill, or more than $5.4 million. The landlord paid a large portion of that, real estate pros said. The offices have custom cabinets; glass-walled conference rooms; stone flooring; butler’s pantries for catering; a large coffee bar; a private stairwell between the eighth and ninth floors; and a well-ventilated cigarand-poker room, Thill said. That room was about the same size as a regular office. It had a bar, television, couch and built-in counter with a sink, and was dubbed the “partners’ lounge,” according to a real estate broker who’d been there. Lawyer Terry Coffing, of Marquis
Aurbach Coffing, said the offices were “some of the nicest in town.” “As soon as you exited the elevators, you knew you were visiting a successful law firm,” said Charles Van Geel, vice president of sales and leasing for commercial-property owner American Nevada Company. Gordon Silver’s Mark Dzarnoski said the firm had “a pretty beautiful office” and that as a pipe smoker, he made use of the partners’ lounge. “It was my favorite room,” he said. Known for its bankruptcy practice, Gordon Silver had 39 local attorneys as of last spring, making it the sixthlargest in the valley at the time, according to VEGAS INC research. The firm traces its roots to the 1960s. But its lawyers, including the firm’s namesakes, Gerald “Jerry” Gordon and Jeff Silver, for still-unconfirmed reasons, have been streaming for the exits this year. Gordon did not respond to requests for comment for this story, and Silver referred questions to former managing shareholder Greg Garman, who did not respond to an email. Roughly 15 Gordon Silver attorneys, including Gordon, left a few months ago to launch a new firm, Garman Turner Gordon. Thirteen other lawyers — seven in Las Vegas and six in Reno — bolted en masse in June for rival Dickinson Wright. The firm was down to just two lawyers in July. Owners of the Hughes Center sued Gordon Silver in June in Clark County District Court, alleging in court filings that the law firm’s “failure to pay rent is the result of severe financial problems, which have been further exacerbated by the departure of numerous partners since January 2015.” The landlord has sought the appointment of a receiver to take control of the firm’s finances, property, mail and other assets, court papers show. Dzarnoski told the landlord in May that the firm would leave the Hughes Center, and it began moving out the night of June 5. It was open by June 8 in its new office on Rainbow, the firm said in court filings. Justice of the Peace Cynthia Cruz, of Las Vegas Township Justice Court, issued an eviction notice June 16 for Gordon Silver’s old offices.

Roberson’s tax record points to divides in GOP congressional primary By kyle roerink
Ride-hailing regulations get green light
Staff Writer
The guardian of the no-new-tax pledge singled out GOP congressional candidate and state Sen. Michael Roberson on Monday — highlighting an ideological divide within the Republican party in Nevada. Grover Norquist, founder of the right-wing think tank Americans for Tax Reform, tweeted about Roberson’s vote on “29 tax hike bills in 2015. Every last one of them.” Norquist added, “Politicians face a choice. Reform government to cost less or raise taxes and keep doing everything the same as always. Reform or tax.” Roberson, who signed the pledge in 2010, was influential in passing the state’s more than $1.3 billion tax hike in the 2015 legislative session, along with other measures to bolster state spending. Roberson did not respond to a request for comment. Norquist’s tweets underscore a big question for GOP voters in the 3rd Congressional District: Will Roberson’s position on taxes influence the outcome of the race? Some conservatives think that Roberson’s tax record will hurt his candidacy. “It will be a big issue in the campaign,” said Chuck Muth, a GOP consultant whose group Citizen Outreach tracks the no-tax pledge in Nevada. “Not just because he voted for the tax hikes, but because he signed the taxpayer protection pledge and went against it.” Roberson is the moderate candidate in a Republican field that has three no-new-taxes candidates: Danny Tarkanian, who ran for Congress in 2010 and 2012; Annette Teijeiro, who ran for Congress in 2014, and Andy Matthews, former president of the right-leaning think tank Nevada Policy Research Institute.

Roberson is likely to be the only moderate candidate from Nevada’s political establishment candidate to run, making it easier for him to consolidate support, said Victor Joecks, vice president of the Nevada Policy Research Institute, which as a nonprofit does not participate in campaigns. “It’s a lot harder to win if more people are splitting the conservative side.”
Solar company signals lawsuit against state By kyle roerink Staff Writer
Rooftop solar company Sunrun is threatening to sue the state to expedite a public records request submitted last month to Gov. Brian Sandoval’s office. In a letter to Sandoval’s office, Sunrun wrote it was “commencing appropriate legal steps” in an effort to disclose emails, texts and all other electronic correspondence this year between NV Energy’s 11 lobbyists, Sandoval and executive branch staffers. The Sandoval administration responded to Sunrun’s initial request by saying it would be difficult for the state to provide an accurate time estimate for disclosing the public documents. “Given the broad scope of your request, the need for technological assistance and the limited resources currently devoted to processing and reviewing
other public records requests, it is anticipated that it may take several weeks or more to determine what, if any, public records match the criteria you have provided,” Joe Reynolds, deputy legal counsel for Sandoval, wrote July 27 in a response to Sunrun’s open records request. The administration’s response was made within five days of the initial request, per state law. But, because the state’s timeline in which to fulfill the request lacked detail, Sunrun turned up the pressure. Sunrun alleged cronyism between Sandoval and NV Energy when it filed the record request. Two of the governor’s advisers are NV Energy lobbyists. And, in the 1990s, Sandoval was legal counsel for the Utility Shareholders of Nevada — an advocacy group that represents the interests of stockholders for companies such as NV Energy.
Drivers for Uber and Lyft could be on the road in Las Vegas within a month after the Legislative Commission signed off on new rules for the ridehailing industry recently. “Many of us would like to see (ridehailing) companies operating in Nevada by the end of August,” state Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson said. Once a company applies to operate in the state, the transportation authority has 30 days to review and issue a permit, although legislators said they hoped it wouldn’t take that long. Bruce Breslow, director of the Department of Business and Industry, which oversees the Nevada Transportation Authority, said the applications would be processed “as soon as possible, but not later than 30 days.” Although legislators expressed concerns on several issues, including a proposed $300,000 application fee for ride-hailing companies (the highest fee of any state where Uber, Lyft and their competitors operate), the legislative panel signed off on the regulations, clearing the way for final approval by the Nevada Transportation Authority at its Sept. 11 meeting. If a ride-hailing company successfully completes its application process and receives a permit before Sept. 11, it could begin operating immediately.
Artist who sculpted Hoover Dam workers awarded $1.4M By VEGAS INC STAFF
Artist Steven Liguori was awarded almost $1.4 million for a violation of licensing agreements for his artwork. Liguori is the artist behind the “High Scaler,” a bronze statue memorializing the workers who built the Hoover Dam. The artwork was commissioned by Burt Hansen, owner of the High Scaler Cafe. Liguori, represented by Hutchison & Steffen, claimed the terms of his contract weren’t met; a jury agreed the contract was breached.

Different regions face different challenges “It makes economic sense to fix it. But if Congress and the president don’t repair the broken immigration system, restaurants and other businesses will have a difficult time finding the employees they need to operate and grow. The result: slower economic growth and fewer new opportunities.” Robert Ansara, owner of Ricardo’s, a Mexican restaurant that has operated since 1979 in Las Vegas, called immigration a huge topic, “given the percentage of immigrant workers in the food service/hospitality industry.” He confessed to some confusion about the government’s four-plusdecade approach to immigration. “All of those 40 years are punctuated by this administration’s attempt John Arena, co-owner of six Metro Pizza restaurants in Southern Nevada, says the to change the law,” Ansara said. system of employee eligibility verification has created an atmosphere of fear and In November, President Barack confusion.

ments seem to be constantly shifting, which is something that we hate, but it is what it is.” Greatest challenge Staffing for restaurants always is a concern, “especially in a market with a population at the age of 16 to 24 not growing and no final consistent reform measures on immigration in place,” said Brian McDonough, senior human resources consultant for Synergy Restaurant Consultants in California. “Food-service operations traditionally promote to leadership positions from within the current ranks of employees. A strong, healthy, legal base of staff at the lower levels feeds management and leadership positions in the future. Restaurants are a leading employer of entry level jobs. Immigration is one main source of staffing at this level.” The immigration issue is hurting the industry in a number of ways, McDonough said. Because of inconsistent compliance systems throughout the country, immigrants gravitate toward states that don’t require stringent background checking systems, he said. Another pitfall is paperwork. “Major functions of entire departments of large chains are relegated to the function of ensuring that I-9s and any other mechanism for ensuring authority to work in the Unites States are complied with,” McDonough said. The greatest challenge to compliance can be the system itself, he added. “Managers are hired and trained to run restaurants; the issue of compliance with immigration laws is the job of the federal government,” McDonough said. E-Verify, an online system that compares information from an employee’s I-9 form with data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to confirm employment eligibility, isn’t required by the federal government for nonpublic jobs and isn’t required in all states. Restaurants in states that require E-Verify are at a disadvantage for landing immigrant employees. The program was intended to assist with hiring, but “it actually has made it more difficult and, at best, caused more immigrants to go underground,” McDonough said.
