WHEN IT COMES TO HOME PRICES, BORING IS BETTER Las Vegas home prices are flat, and sales volume is sliding. That’s good news for buyers but can create anxiety for sellers. Overall, though, Las Vegas’ real estate market, in a break from the past, is evenkeeled. Buyers picked up 2,721 single-family homes in Southern Nevada in September, down from 2,855 in August and 3,180 in July. Meanwhile, the median sales price has hovered around $220,000 since June, according to the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. “Our local housing statistics have become pretty predictable this year and more stable than they’ve been in several years,” GLVAR President Keith Lynam said. “And stable and predictable are good things for homeowners

and for the local housing market. It’s certainly preferable to the real estate roller coaster ride we experienced over the past decade.” Real estate is a volatile business, but Las Vegas’ market is more extreme than most cities’, with its history of out-of-town investors, fast-paced construction, transient residents and house flippers. In just the past decade, the market grew wildly during the bubble; collapsed with the recession; grew fast again as investors bought cheap homes in bulk, raising fears of another bubble; and today, has slowed considerably. This city is famous for its fast-paced action. But in the housing business — especially here — sometimes it’s good to let off the gas. — ELI SEGALL

Child care can go beyond baby-sitting Describe your business.

The Kiddie Academy of Henderson is educational child care that focuses on learning and fun, the key ingredients for our Life Essentials educational philosophy.

Kiddie Academy of Henderson Address: 870 Coronado Center Drive, Henderson Phone: 702-333-1177 Email: henderson@kiddieacademy.net Website: educationaldaycare.kiddieacademy.com/ academies/henderson Owned/operated by: Jerry Nesbit and Dr. Ricardo Mogollon In business since: August

What is the Life Essentials philosophy?

Life Essentials is based on four pillars: developmentally appropriate curriculum, character education, technology education and health and fitness. n Developmentally appropriate curriculum: Our standards-based curriculum is designed to suit each stage of child development, from infancy to age 12. n Character education: It’s never too early for kids to learn the values that will help them develop into good citizens. From the playground to the classroom, we take advantage of every opportunity for children to learn values such as respect, friendship, sharing and kindness. n Technology education: We take advantage of the latest learning software and technology to make learning engaging and fun. Children learn computer literacy — a skill as essential as reading and writing. n Health and fitness: Learning and encouraging health and fitness at a young age is a gift that lasts a lifetime. Good physical health is a critical component of brain development. We provide nutritious meals and ample playground time for physical activities. What makes Kiddie Academy unique?

We are a nationally networked franchise, which ensures strict standards and a consistent experience for your child. We encourage children to explore and progress at their own pace, in their own style. When a child learns and plays in this manner, he or she is empowered to learn and grow socially, physically, emotionally and

intellectually. At Kiddie Academy, we never take a moment of a child’s growth potential for granted. How do you incorporate health into your education program?

Health and wellness is important to both of us. We believe we can exceed the recommended nutritional basics, teach proper handwashing technique and encourage personal hygiene while maintaining a positive, fun and inviting environment. What’s the most important part of your job?

It is imperative we exceed the educational standards for our students and gain the trust of parents. Fortunately, we have an excellent director with years of experience and an equally capable support staff. What is the hardest part about doing business in Southern Nevada?

The most difficult part of business here is the transient population. Retaining our teachers is very important to maintain continuity in the educational process of our children. How can Nevada improve its business climate?

Maintaining incentives and tax breaks for small-business owners is important. Also, furthering educational standards is a big need in our type of business climate. What have you learned from the recession?

Small-business owners need to be cognizant of the costs of owning and operating a business. A smart business plan is extremely important. Adhering to a budget is imperative for survival.

Nevada companies have received $18 million in venture capital this year

Hardy calls for expansion of Interstate 11 to Reno

By daniel rothberg

Staff Writer

Staff Writer

Venture-backed companies headquartered in Nevada raised more than $18 million in five financing deals during the first three quarters of 2015, according to a Dow Jones VentureSource analysis. The amount falls about $4 million short of investment at this point last year and is low in comparison with other startup-heavy states, such as California, New York and Massachusetts. Companies raised more than $5 billion in each of those states in the first three quarters of 2015. Through nearly 1,000 deals in the third quarter, which ended in September, U.S. companies raised $19 billion, a small increase from the same period last year. The analysis of U.S. venture-backed companies recorded the greatest number of deals for the quarter in the Bay Area, Boston and New York. The VentureSource data comprise investments in companies that have gone through at least one round of venture funding. In addition to compiling a regional breakdown,

VentureSource provides a state-by-state analysis that is based on the location of companies’ headquarters. In the third quarter, Nevada posted one deal worth $5 million, which puts it on the low side for most states. Janet Runge, the associate director of UNLV’s Center for Entrepreneurship, said she expects to see an increase in venture funding in the coming years. “We are in the process right now of really building out the ecosystem,” she said. Eric Jennings, CEO of Filament, a Reno startup that provides wireless infrastructure, said that although investment attention often has gone to areas such as San Francisco or New York, investors could be rewarded for looking outside those areas. He said when investors were looking at his firm, which received funding from a Silicon Valley venture fund, they found several advantages with its location, including a significantly lower cost of living. “We could actually do more with the money we were taking,” Jennings said.

Republican U.S. Rep. Cresent Hardy is pushing for a proposal to build Interstate 11 all the way to Reno. Securing funding for the I-11 project has been a yearslong battle, with most of the spotlight on a stretch from Las Vegas to Phoenix. But as Congress works a $316 billion highway bill to fund transportation projects, Hardy is hoping to win money to extend the freeway to Northern Nevada. Hardy, a first-term member representing the 4th Congressional District, said the project would create jobs and business opportunities throughout the state. “This expansion builds a bridge between communities that have been separated for far too long by a seven-hour drive or an expensive flight. Nevadans are already well connected by our Western heritage and shared values; it’s about time they were connected by a reasonable transportation network,” Hardy said. Las Vegas and Phoenix are the two largest U.S. cities not directly connected by an interstate, and Nevada and Arizona lawmakers have made the corridor a top priority. Nevada has received a fraction of the billions of dollars necessary to connect the two metro areas, using $318 million to break ground on a 15-mile stretch of highway in Southern Nevada known as the Boulder City Bypass.

Investors buy Summerlin health-club building for $51 million By eli segall Staff Writer

Illinois investors have paid big bucks for a once-abandoned Summerlin healthclub property. Inland Private Capital Corp. paid $51 million for the Life Time Athletic facility near Red Rock Resort, county records show. The transaction closed last month. The sales price was the highest nationally this year for a freestanding, singletenant retail building, according to Faris Lee Investments broker Patrick Luther, who represented the seller. Investors are paying rising prices for Las Vegas commercial properties, though it’s all but unheard of to pay nationally high amounts amid the improving but stilllagging local economy. The valley’s unemployment rate, 7 percent as of August, has been chopped in half since the depths of the recession but remains highest among large U.S. metro areas, federal data show. Moreover, the purchase marks a drastic turnaround for the upscale gym. Developer Life Time Fitness Inc. halted construc-

tion during the recession, leaving the 6-acre, partially built property to collect dust on busy Charleston Boulevard. Life Time, which sold the property in June to the company that flipped it to Inland, has a 20-year lease in Summerlin . The seller, New York-based Gramercy Property Trust, acquired the facility as part of a $300 million, 10-property pur-

chase from Life Time; the health-club chain rented back the gyms as part of the deal. The Summerlin health club, 10721 W. Charleston Blvd., opened in 2011. But before that, like many other real estate projects in town, it got mothballed after the economy tanked. Life Time started construction in Oc-

Las Vegas’ foreclosure activity ramped up in September, making the valley one of the hardest-hit areas in the country, a recent report shows. One in every 480 homes in Southern Nevada received a foreclosure-related filing in September, up 17.7 percent from August and 56.3 percent from a year ago, according to RealtyTrac. Las Vegas had the second-highest foreclosure rate in the nation — after tying for eighth-highest in August — behind only Atlantic City, where 1 in 293 homes had a foreclosure filing. Nationally, one in 1,210 homes received a filing. RealtyTrac, which released the report, counts default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions. Driving the rate in Las Vegas: Creditors filed notices of default against 620 homes in September, scheduled foreclosure auctions for 388 homes and repossessed 748 homes, according to RealtyTrac. Among states, Nevada had the second-highest foreclosure rate, with one in every 555 homes receiving a filing. New Jersey was No. 1.

What’s next for DraftKings and FanDuel? By j.d. morris Staff Writer

The legality of daily fantasy sports in Nevada is now crystal clear: State regulators consider it a form of gambling, so any company that wants to provide it must be licensed. What is less clear is whether the leading fantasy sports companies, FanDuel and DraftKings, will eventually find a way to return to the state after suspending operations here this month. Also up in the air is the question of which established Nevada gaming operators, if any, will enter the fantasy sports market. The state Gaming Control Board upended Nevada’s fantasy sports industry in a public notice that said daily fantasy sports meets the definition of gambling under state law and therefore requires a license to operate a sports pool. Subsequently, FanDuel and DraftKings announced they were withdrawing from the state. The companies do not appear eager to seek Nevada licenses. FanDuel criticized the gaming board’s decision for only benefiting “incumbent Nevada casinos,” and DraftKings called it an “exclusionary approach” against the fantasy sports industry. Emails sent on Friday to Nevada customers of FanDuel and DraftKings encouraged them to sign an online petition objecting to the gaming board’s decision. The petition, which is affiliated with the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, asked its recipients to sign in order to “tell lawmakers that you love daily fantasy sports and want them to be legal in Nevada.” The emails said Nevada customers could still withdraw funds from their accounts. To be clear, FanDuel and DraftKings

can try to legally operate in Nevada — but they first must submit to an intense licensing process. And for those companies, the path toward regulatory approval is fraught with challenges. Greg Gemignani, a Las Vegas-based gaming attorney, said that if FanDuel and DraftKings were to seek licensure, they would be challenged by the state’s view that their product is sports wagering — which is, for the most part, illegal outside Nevada. Regulators would not license them if they continued to operate in other states, Gemignani said, because “you can’t get a license in Nevada to break the law elsewhere.” Even putting that consideration aside, Gemignani said the companies would likely have a hard time winning the approval of Nevada regulators. “It’s going to be difficult for them to get licensed, because they’ve been operating what regulators say is an illegal sports pool now for several years,” Gemignani

said. “We generally don’t license people or companies that have been engaged in illegal gambling activity.” Casinos and sportsbooks could try to fill the void left by FanDuel and DraftKings’ departure from Nevada. A.G. Burnett, chairman of the gaming board, wrote that while gaming licensees already approved to operate a sports pool could provide daily fantasy sports, they “should exercise discretion” in associating themselves with unlicensed operators. Aside from practical challenges tied to offering daily fantasy sports, other legal and business considerations may deter Nevada gaming companies from entering the market. Most significantly, the FBI and the federal Justice Department are examining the legality of the daily fantasy sports industry’s business model, according to The Wall Street Journal. And Reuters reported in September that neither FanDuel nor DraftKings

was profitable, although that seemed to be largely the result of heavy spending on advertising. William Hill U.S. CEO Joe Asher said his company, which operates more than 100 sports betting locations in Nevada, had no plans to start offering daily fantasy sports. “I think the viability of the business model is still up for debate,” Asher said. MGM Resorts International, which operates 10 sports books on the Strip, said in a statement emailed by a spokesperson that it did not intend to become a daily fantasy sports provider yet but expressed some support for the fantasy sports industry. “We are hopeful that the daily fantasy industry will be able to return to the Nevada market in the future and provide consumers with its innovative brand of entertainment,” the MGM Resorts statement said. Becoming a daily fantasy sports provider would entail much more than just deciding to be one. Casinos and sports books that decide to go that route would still have to figure out how best to provide fantasy sports alongside their current products, according to Chris Grove, the publisher of Legal Sports Report, a website that follows the daily fantasy sports industry. Grove said the established gaming operators may not have “wrapped their heads around the best way to deploy it,” but he noted that daily fantasy sports is a popular product — and one that has drawn the interest of professional sports leagues. “I think there’s certainly an interest in the casino industry to having stronger ties to those kinds of entities,” Grove said.

UNLV plans to drastically increase research spending, grant more doctoral degrees By daniel rothberg Staff Writer

After years of declining research spending following the recession, UNLV has increased spending for three consecutive years and has set an ambitious goal to nearly quadruple it in the next 10 years, officials said in a recent report. UNLV spends more than $40 million per year on research and development, less than its prerecession level of $54 million but an increase

from recent years. By 2025, as part of its plan to be a top-tier university, UNLV hopes to increase spending to $150 million per year. Also by 2025, the university plans to grant 200 doctoral degrees each year, about double its current output. “It’s an aggressive plan, but if you’re focused, you can get to where you want to be in 10 years,” said Thomas Piechota, interim vice president for research and economic development. In recent years, the university has

increased its patent submissions, from eight filings in 2009 to 47 in 2015. During the annual report, Zach Miles, the associate vice president for economic development, announced that two patents had already been issued for university research in fiscal year 2016, which began July 1. For the first time this year, UNLV helped launch three startups — Abel Therapeutics, Moveo Medics and Colony Shield — aimed at commercializing UNLV research on treating

hospital infections, detecting diabetic ulcerations and preventing a disease that kills bees. UNLV officials also emphasized the importance of partnerships in spurring research and development. They touted recent partnerships with the Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Switch, Intel and most recently Tesla. “It’s exactly what we need to be doing to get to the next level,” UNLV President Len Jessup said.

One question can filter out insincere candidates The good news is candidates often help by inadvertently sending signals that hiring them would mean trouble down the road. “Since I’ve been recruiting in Las Vegas for close to 15 years now, I can tell you what I’ve learned about our Las Vegas applicant pool — transients — and how to possibly spot bad apples,” said Lucy Gwynn, a staffing consultant for Express Employment Professionals. “I think that because the population in Las Vegas is mostly people from somewhere else, the culture here is a mixed bag. You have younger millennials; older Gen X; and older-still baby boomers, of all different races, cultures and creeds. It can be really hard to compare two candidates when they are so inherently different.” The in-person interview is pivotal. “It’s when you separate the good hires from the not-so-good hires,” said Damian Garcia, Las Vegas regional vice president for Accountemps. The task is anything but simple. “Even the worst candidates can slip by a recruiter because they have

trained themselves to misrepresent their skills, ability to perform, and most importantly, their attitude,” said Jerry Souris, vice presi- souris dent of All Team Staffing in Las Vegas. “For example, a candidate may arrive 15 minutes early for an interview, be dressed accordingly, answer all questions articulately and give the general perception that he is well-qualified for the position that he is applying for.” But that might not be the case. Gwynn’s “test,” she says, is the question, “ ‘What brought you to Las Vegas?’ The response tells me a lot about the person, what their motivation is and how long they will potentially stay at the job. If the answer starts with, ‘There was this girl or guy,’ it’s not a good sign. Mostly those people end up back where they came from in six months.” Another less-than-encouraging answer — I came here on vacation, and I

love it! — also is not a good one. Those people “usually are gone quicker than the boyfriend/girlfriend ones. Vegas is a lot different on vacation than being here and working all day, needless to say,” Gwynn said. The answers Gwynn is looking for are: “ ‘I have family here’ or ‘I did some research and Vegas’ cost of living is better than where I came from, and there’s less traffic and no state payroll tax.’ That shows they are looking at more than just the Strip and are more likely to hang around and do a good job.” Examples of past performance accomplishments are key to identifying a candidate’s strength and depth, said Carlos Nieves, branch manager for Chartwell Staffing Solutions. Be sure to ask about the examples when speaking with past employers. “By doing so, you are likely to open up additional dialogue that could shed further light on that candidate’s strengths and weaknesses,” Nieves said. Also, key in on the person’s level of professionalism. Does the candidate

have strong communication skills? Did he or she wear the appropriate attire to the interview? Were they polite and courteous? Or a good listener? This can be gauged by the person’s ability to grasp the interview questions and provide strong responses. “Did he or she send you a thank-you email?” Nieves asked. “Look at the quality of that email. Was it well-written?” The interview can’t tell you everything about a candidate, Gwynn said, “but keep in mind that the entire interview process can give you hints. If the person didn’t completely fill out the application, for example, they aren’t great at following directions or attention to detail. If they are late to the interview, obviously they may have trouble getting to work on time. I think it was Dr. Phil who said, ‘The best predictor of future behavior is past relevant behavior.’ That’s so true with job seekers. If they have impeccable timing and a clean and complete application, they will likely take the same care and concern with their daily tasks.”

Nieves’ red flags

Souris’ red flags

n No longevity with past employers. It could be indicative of a lack of commitment and/or a poor job performance history. “For example, someone who is consistently experiencing layoffs has more than likely been in the bottom 10 percent as it relates to perfor-

n Too many positions in the past 10 years. “A lot of turnover — that is a red flag.” n Short employment periods. “Typically, we desire to see two years with any previous or current employers.”

mance.” n Significant gaps in employment. “Working, even at a lower level, is paramount to keeping skill sets sharp and being able to carve out future opportunities. That individual who chose to stay unemployed for an extended period of time rather than enter the workforce could be a clue that he or she sees the glass as half empty versus half full.” n Lack of achievements. Avoid a candidate who can’t communicate past accomplishments in contributing to their past employers’ success.

Garcia’s red flags n Showing up late. “When a job candidate shows up late for an interview, it usually means one of two things: He doesn’t value the job opportunity enough to be on time, or he isn’t good at planning ahead. You might be dealing with someone who lacks professionalism or good judgment.” n A demanding attitude. “A what’s-in-it-forme attitude is a major resume red flag. If you receive application materials that include demands about salary expectations, vacation requirements or specific perks, it might be best to move on. Someone who issues ultimatums before he or she even gets an interview is not likely a team player.”

n Lack of eye contact. Does the candidate look away when he or she is answering questions? “If so, red flag. He is being deceitful or dishonest.” n Poor appearance. “Do they fit the recruiter’s perception of the type of candidate that the recruiter is looking for? Do they look professional?” n Bad attitude. “How did their tone sound? Excited? Surprised? Energetic? Pleasant? Do they have control issues? For instance, if someone sits down without being invited to do so, this is a red flag for someone who has control issues.”

n Lack of attention. “You can tell whether a candidate is really interested and engaged by their body language, eye contact and overall etiquette during the interview. Do they look at the clock or look bored with your questions? Both things are strong signs that the job might not be a good fit.” n No pre-interview research. At some point during the interview, “you’ll probably ask a few company-specific questions like ‘What attracted you to this firm?’ If the interviewee stumbles or gives you a generic answer, it may be a sign that he didn’t research your company before the interview. That could mean he is not organized enough to prepare well or that he feels the position isn’t a high priority.” n No questions. Is the interviewee asking in-

formed questions about your company, or only responding to what you ask? If it’s the latter, Garcia has found, “it could be a sign that the candidate isn’t eager to work for your company specifically but just needs a regular paycheck.” n Trash talk. If an interviewee readily badmouths former employers and co-workers, you can bet on them doing the same while working for you. Questioning and critical thinking are good traits, Garcia said, “but you don’t want an employee who doesn’t show respect for his colleagues.” n No follow-up. Professional courtesy calls for a thank-you note or email to a hiring manager after an interview. When candidates don’t follow up, it can indicate a lack of professionalism or a lack of interest in the job.
