A good time for an internship As the economy rebounds and businesses look for qualified employees, doors are opening for students By Julie Ann Formoso | Staff writer
Erika Arizabal tried to console her patient as he fought the urge to squirm in pain on the X-ray table. ¶ It was nearing the end of Arizabal’s two-month internship as an X-ray technologist at MountainView Hospital, and until then, she had exchanged few words with patients.

VINTAGE VEGAS: TALLYHO TRANSFORMED In 1962, Edwin S. Lowe, inventor of the dice game Yahtzee, invested on the east side of the Strip by building a $12 million, 322room English Tudor-style property named Tallyho. Built without a casino, the property quickly failed and shut its doors a year later. Hotel developer Milton Prell bought the property and renovated it, adding a casino and a 500-seat theater, and infusing the resort with Mediterranean touches.
The Aladdin opened at midnight April 1, 1966, with a black-tie affair. Pictured here is the property under construction in 1964. Behind the new addition is the original hotel featuring English Tudor architecture. On April 27, 1998, the property was imploded to make way for a new megaresort, known today as Planet Hollywood. — REBECCA CLIFFORD-CRUZ

lived above, and a 10,000-squarefoot property I was refurbishing into a new commercial laundry facility. Hurricane Rita lifted the 6,000-square-foot building and left behind only a cement slab. The 10,000-square-foot facility was reduced to a shell and filled with debris. All of the work I put into that new facility literally was washed away. My former business was destroyed, so I had a choice — try to rebuild with limited insurance funds or start over and do something completely new. That’s when I decided to follow my lifelong passion for food and go to culinary school. I enrolled at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, then moved to Las Vegas in 2007 for an externship at Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House. After that, I worked at Emeril’s Table 10 in the Venetian, then Marche Bacchus, then I started working for a small catering business and doing personal chef work. That led me to Downtown Project, which is my partner in Zydeco Po-Boys.

Las Vegas is an adventurous culinary city. It’s a city that likes to try new things and experience new flavors, and authentic, quality food is appreciated here. There were people here just waiting for Zydeco to open because it’s food they already have experienced and love. There also have been a lot of customers who are experiencing Cajun cuisine for the first time and discovering they love it. My first experiences in the kitchen were watching my mama prepare some of the dishes I serve at Zydeco PoBoys, and I think that authenticity and tradition comes through in our food. What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?
Difficulty in finding certain authentic Cajun ingredients. Things like the type of quality, affordable seafood you can get easily on the Louisiana coast are obviously much more difficult to source in the desert. What is the best part about doing business here?
Our tourist traffic allows me to introduce authentic Cajun food to people from across the globe, and that’s pretty inspiring and fulfilling. You lost your home, businesses and livelihood to Hurricane Rita in 2005. What happened?
I had a 6,000-square-foot commercial laundry that I
What did that experience teach you?
When I owned the laundry, it was all about work and money. The more money I made, the more I spent, and the more things I had. I had personal relationships, but business always came first and the people in my life came second. What I’ve learned from losing everything is that it’s not about how much money you can make, and it’s not about the amount of stuff in your life; it’s about the quality in your life. It’s about being happy in what you do for a living and enjoying life, it’s about creating memories. Money makes life easier, and it gives you security, but it doesn’t make life happier. I run Zydeco differently than the laundry because I love this business. Another thing I learned: Have a good insurance agent.

North Las Vegas celebrates opening of plastic manufacturing plant By megan messerly Staff Writer
North Las Vegas officials touted the opening of a new plastic manufacturing plant recently as a sign of positive economic growth in the city. Employees of the company, Parker Plastics, gathered with city and state officials, customers and others to celebrate the opening of its 70,000-square-foot plant, the company’s fourth in the nation and first in the West. The company hopes the Southern Nevada plant will help expand its business on the West Coast. “We’re excited to be here in Ne-
vada, and we just want to share that excitement with you,” said Parker Plastics President Jim Parker. Parker Plastics produces custom sizes and shapes of bottles by taking small, preform plastic bottles, warming them up, and blowing them into a mold under high pressure. The company got its start in 1989 making honeybear-shaped bottles for a customer in Southern California. “They’re entrusting the well-being of their employees to our community,” said Councilman Isaac Barron, whose ward encompasses the plant. “There’s no bigger endorsement than
to entrust your business to the community.” At the opening, Mayor John Lee made a pitch to all the businesspeople in the room: Come do business in North Las Vegas. “The Strip and Fremont Street are the boutiques of the valley,” Lee said. “North Las Vegas is the breadbasket.” The plant employs about 15 people, but the company hopes to increase the number to 60 to 70 over the next three years, said Matt O’Neill, new projects manager for the company. At peak operation, the plant has the capacity to produce about 80,000
bottles in an eight-hour shift, plant manager John Garland said. The hope is that Parker Plastics will help fill the supply chain for other manufacturers in the area and keep as much business as possible within the city, said Terri Sheridan, economic development specialist for the city. “Congratulations for one of the best decisions you’ve made in your life,” Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison said at the opening. “Vegas and Nevada will always be the gaming city and gaming state. But we know how important it is to diversify our economy.”
Safe-driving app wins Cox business startup contest
Regulators approve deal to keep Switch with NV Energy
Courtroom showdown pits Oracle against Las Vegas tech firm

A Las Vegas mobile application startup that creates tools to prevent people from texting while driving placed first in a business-pitch competition this month. The contest was modeled after the hit ABC show “Shark Tank.” After judges grilled six local entrepreneurs at Cox Communications’ second annual Get Started Las Vegas contest at the Palms, they awarded $15,000 in prize money to Text Safe Teens. The company also will be featured in a story on the website of Inc. magazine, a sponsor of the event. VEGAS INC also was a sponsor. Text Safe Teens, which won a local startup competition in July, is next turning its attention to obtaining outside investment and seeking to establish relationships with organizations that it sees as natural partners: schools, insurance companies and companies that manage drivers. “It makes me feel great that we’re going to be able to help more people with this,” said Leon Wilde, the company’s CEO,\. The finalists, selected from about 60 entrants, had about two minutes to make their pitches to five panelists. The judges included a senior editor from Inc., a partner at VegasTechFund, an executive from Cox, and last year’s contest winner, a Las Vegas-based entrepreneur. The panel also included Daymond John, a host from “Shark Tank” and the CEO of apparel company FUBU. The panel selected Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, which hosts food tours on the Strip and downtown, as runner-up. Judges graded the firms on originality, pitch and potential benefit to the community.
Regulators have approved an agreement that ensures data storage company Switch remains an NV Energy customer. The Nevada Public Utilities Commission approved the deal this month, ending an attempt by Switch to leave the utility and purchase energy on the open market. The agreement will allow Switch to tap into energy from a planned 100-megawatt solar array in North Las Vegas and, in some cases, sources already generated by Nevada Power, a subsidiary of NV Energy. First Solar will partner with NV Energy to build the solar array, expected to provide power for Switch by 2016. The facility will be called Switch Station. In June, commissioners denied Switch’s petition to leave NV Energy over concerns the departure would result in rate hikes for other utility customers. Switch wanted to leave the utility so it could move to 100 percent renewable energy and bring down costs. The agreement satisfies concerns of both parties and the PUC. A 2001 law — passed when NV Energy did not control a large amount of its energy generation and wanted to encourage private companies to purchase from independent sources or generate their own electricity — allows large companies to move off the electrical grid if they meet certain conditions, pay an exit fee and obtain PUC approval. But this poses a problem for the utility, which now produces the majority of its own electricity and relies on revenue from large consumers. Three major casino companies also filed exit applications, which are pending before the PUC.
Nearly six years have passed since software behemoth Oracle sued Las Vegas tech company Rimini Street for copyright infringement in a Nevada federal court. With attorneys offering closing arguments recently, the trial could be nearing an end. The long-term health of Rimini Street hinges on an outcome that chief information officers across the technology industry will be watching closely. Previously, Judge Larry Hicks found that the Vegas tech firm violated Oracle’s copyrights in providing maintenance to companies running the software of the tech giant founded by Larry Ellison. A jury is now tasked with determining damages. Oracle seeks $245.9 million; Rimini believes that number should be no more than $9.3 million. The jury also must decide whether the Las Vegas firm is liable for violating the copyright of two additional Oracle products and assessing resultant damages. Oracle makes a majority of its sales from annual payments on maintenance and upgrades. Rimini Street is one of few thirdparty companies that provides maintenance on Oracle products — at a steep comparative discount. “This case is going to establish the ground rules upon which a third party can operate within legal restraints,” said Frank Scavo, who runs a California-based consulting firm that helps companies evaluate software vendors. Oracle argued that the lawsuit would not be an assault on third-party maintenance providers as a whole but limited only to Rimini Street, which has 1,080 clients and recently expanded its Las Vegas office.

G2E highlights transition to skill-based products By j.d. morris
outs vary depending on the blender’s contents. Gamblit showed that game in a station meant for single players. Gamblit also showed games that were featured on interactive tables meant for multiple players. One of those games was Grab Poker, in which players try to build a winning hand by competing to choose cards as they rapidly appear on the table. It’s meant for up to four players, and the winner takes the pot.
Staff Writer
Skill and interactivity were the key words on the showroom floor of this year’s Global Gaming Expo. The annual casino industry conference, also known as G2E, wrapped up after several days showcasing some of the most cutting-edge products from gambling companies. Set against the backdrop of Nevada’s recent moves to regulate the development of skillbased slot machines, the conference’s showroom provided a window into how companies have reacted to the new environment. What was shown off at G2E represents only the beginning of how game companies will make products that give casino floors a more arcade-like feel. After all, the regulations were finalized only last month, and more work — namely, the approval of technical standards — remains. Nonetheless, it was no coincidence that some of the most interesting products in the G2E showroom contained an element of skill — or at least a level of player interaction beyond what traditional slot machines have offered. To illustrate, here’s a brief look at how several companies explored those characteristics at G2E. Scientific Games The Space Invaders slot machine from one of the industry’s most dominant companies goes beyond a simple theme based on the classic arcade game. In essence, it’s part traditional slot machine, part skill-based throwback: Customers spin virtual reels until they get to a bonus round, in which they’re given the option of trying their luck or testing their skill. Choosing luck brings the player to a traditional round of free spins; skill requires him or her to basically

play a short video game. Players earn points by shooting down rows of enemy aliens while trying to avoid their incoming missiles. Company spokesman Mike Trask noted that the game was reminiscent of the Total Blast slot developed by Bally Technologies, which Scientific Games acquired last year. Scientific Games also displayed a slot game based on the television show “The Simpsons.” It is not exactly a skill-based game, but it does contain an element in which players can stick their hand in front of a motion sensor to move a virtual hand on the screen. Doing so allows them to engage with a bonus round by catching sprinkles as they fall, for example. International Game Technology IGT exhibited a version of its Texas Tea game, which plays like a traditional slot machine until players reach the bonus round, at which point
it becomes a virtual pinball game. The company’s TMZ slot machine incorporates a photo booth feature that allows players to take a selfie and integrate that into the game, including into a bonus round. And its Orange is the New Black slot, based on the Netflix show of the same name, was rolled out simultaneously on IGT’s DoubleDown social casino. Gamblit Gaming The company has been a prominent voice in discussions about Nevada’s embrace of skill in slot machines, but its products are not yet available on casino floors in the state. They’re coming, company executives say, and in the meantime Gamblit offered a preview of what may eventually be in store for Nevada players. One game, Smoothie Blast, requires players to match different kinds of fruits — similar to Candy Crush — which then go into a blender. A wager runs when the blender is full, and pay-
Next Gaming/G2 These two companies partnered to display games that look more like they would be found in a living room than on a casino floor. One of their products, which combines skill and chance, is similar to the classic Guitar Hero game: Players attempt to hit notes as they move past on a screen to successfully play a song. Hitting notes translates into an opportunity to win cash, and the players also earn skill points that could be used to create rankings on a leaderboard. A casino might theoretically use that leaderboard to reward players with entry into a tournament, said Mike Darley, CEO of Next Gaming. Another game the companies showed, in first-person-shooter style, involved a similar blending of skill and chance to award payouts. Interblock Slot machine-style games were not the only places where companies at G2E were focusing on interactivity. Interblock displayed an arena for electronic table games in which numerous tables could be situated around a few live dealers and large electronic screens. At their station, gamblers can play with one of the live dealers or choose an automated version of a table game. The setup also featured a DJ and a virtual emcee on the screen.
Sam Nazarian’s SBE Entertainment will no longer manage SLS By j.d. morris Staff Writer
Sam Nazarian, the businessman who led the creation of SLS Las Vegas, is selling his ownership stake in the financially struggling resort and his company will no longer manage the property. San Francisco-based real estate investment firm Stockbridge Capital Partners, which owns 90 percent of the resort, is buying the 10 percent that
Nazarian and his family own. Nazarian’s company, SBE Entertainment Group, will transition from a management agreement to a licensing agreement with the hotel. That will allow the SLS branding and operations to continue unchanged, but SBE will not be involved with running the resort. Terry Fancher, executive managing director of Stockbridge, said the change “benefits all parties involved,” includ-
ing guests, employees and the companies behind the resort. Nazarian was once the public face of SLS Las Vegas, but he stepped back from day-to-day operations amid dramatic appearances before Nevada gaming regulators at the end of last year. Since then, he has apparently shifted his focus to larger projects for his company, including a possible merger with Morgans Hotel Group Co.
Since its opening in August 2014, SLS has fought to overcome its out-ofthe-way location on the far end of the north Strip, among other challenges. The resort has made numerous highprofile changes — such as hiring a new president, closing its buffet and revamping its loyalty club — while facing strong financial turbulence. The resort’s net loss for the first half of 2015 was about $84 million.

Recession left companies starving for workers learned in nursing classes at UNLV and during her internship. She tried to wrap the man in a warm blanket as he wished out loud to be with his dead wife, free from pain. “Maybe if we find the source of your pain, we can help you,” Arizabal told him. A few weeks later, Arizabal, 22, was hired full time at MountainView. Nowadays, it’s common for interns to be hired at the end of an internship. About 71 percent of employers aim to transition interns into full-time employees, and 63 percent of companies hope to hire interns for entry level positions, a 2015 study by the National Erika Arizabal helps a patient remain calm and steady during a CT scan at MountaAssociation of Colleges and Employers inView Hospital.

Unpaid vs. paid internships
“We want to make sure they come in and are not only committed to the success of their function but understand the weight of our responsibility to patients,” said Brian Wood, the hospital’s vice president of human resources. But the onus of sparking interest isn’t just on students. When Maria Ramos, a UNLV doctoral student in mechanical engineering, attends career fairs at the university, she looks for businesses with detailed descriptions of opportunities for interns. “If they don’t (have that), I move on,” said Ramos, 24. The benefits of an internship can be mutual for employers and employees. About 84 percent of employers said hiring interns was a positive experience, while 87 percent of students said their internship experience was positive, Internships.com found. “Businesses get to sample the product of the university,” UNLV business professor Stephen Miller said. “Internships are another way of getting looks at people.” For many interns, time at a company offers a glimpse of what to expect after graduation. “I think it’s very different from just learning theories in the class,” said Stacy Acquista, a former intern at North Florida Regional Medical Center who now works for HCA Far West Division, the parent company of Sunrise Health. “It was great to take the skills I learned in school and apply them in a real-world environment.” Though Arizabal was unable to learn what had appened to the patient she treated during her internship, she said that moment with him was invaluable. “You run into patients who are very emotional,” she said. “You just have to mentally prepare yourself for things like that. You don’t learn that in school.” Perhaps most important for businesses, interns often become quasi marketers for companies and firms. “The students are terrific brand ambassadors,” Metty-Burns said. “They come back and tell others about their experience. It helps businesses not only get potential employees but also have this pipeline of marketing.” Wood said a number of internship candidates have contacted MountainView after hearing from previous interns. “They’re able to vouch for us,” Wood said. “It’s probably the most important marketing tool that we have.”
