Q&A with Bret Loughridge
Construction technique, technology ever evolving Bret Loughridge is vice president of operations at SR Construction, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary in Southern Nevada. He is an aficionado of Lean construction, a relatively new phenomenon in construction and project management that purports to maximize value and minimize waste. What is the best business advice you’ve received? Attitude is everything. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? It would be phenomenal to diversify the Las Vegas economy beyond tourism. I am hopeful that we can continue the trend and enhance not only gaming and hospitality but cultivate other industries such as the industrial component, health care, medical tourism and higher education, to name a few. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? Education. We need to redefine what we as Southern Nevada residents want our educational system to be. Do we constantly want to remain Bret Loughridge, vice president of operations for SR Construction, in front of a in the bottom five nationally, or do “pull planning” schedule at the company’s offices.

That kind of person, in my opinion, is the key to what makes this country great. What is your biggest pet peeve? Lack of effort. Where do you like to go for business lunches? Nora’s is always a good choice. The steak sandwich is my favorite. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My stubbornness has a tendency to get in the way at times. What is something that people might not know about you? I am really into my family history and genealogy.

Nine sites discussed for NFL stadium By j.d. morris Staff Writer
One of nine sites in Southern Nevada may eventually be home to a 65,000-seat stadium that could bring an NFL team to the area. As officials tried to get a better sense of where the stadium should be built, project backers presented the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee with a range of options, most on or near the Strip or on land owned by UNLV. Backers also said the total cost of developing the stadium — including land, parking and off-site infrastructure — could be as much as $2.1 billion. Excluding land and other costs, the project’s price tag had previously been pegged at about $1.4 billion. Committee Chairman Steve Hill asked Gov. Brian Sandoval for a twomonth extension of the group’s deadline to finalize its recommendations. The committee’s original deadline, set by an executive order from Sandoval, was the end of this month. It was extended through September. Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Majestic Realty Co. have proposed building the stadium as a venue that could bring the Oakland Raiders to Southern Nevada, giving the region its first NFL franchise. The stadium also would host UNLV football games, concerts and other events. But the stadium’s location remains a major question mark, even amid a larger debate over what would be an appropriate amount of public funding for the project. Among the possible locations presented were: n UNLV’s 42 acres on Tropicana Avenue near Koval Lane n Station Casinos’ 100-acre site on Tropicana near Interstate 15 n MGM Resorts International’s festival grounds near SLS Las Vegas n UNLV land by the Thomas & Mack Center n the site of the former Riviera n Cashman Center n 62 acres on Russell Road just west of I-15 n the former Wet ‘n’ Wild water park site on the Strip n the golf course behind Wynn Las Vegas and Encore. Total cost would vary depending on which site is chosen, but backers have indicated that the amount of public money they are seeking — $750 million, likely from hotel room taxes — would remain the same.

“It’s been my experience that, if somebody that owns that land knows you absolutely have to acquire that land in order to make that project feasible, that’s going to be a pretty expensive property to acquire. So I don’t think (the Riviera site) is as realistic as some of the other proposals.” — Steve Sisolak, Clark County Commission chairman, about the possibility of the Riviera site becoming home to a stadium
Hill introduced an alternate financing plan in June that would reduce the public contribution to $550 million. But that proposal was not discussed at this month’s presentation, as the discussion focused largely on location. Per estimates presented by the Sands-Majestic team, the potential development cost could range from $1.7 billion to $2.1 billion. The hard construction cost of the stadium would be an estimated $1.1 billion, with land acquisition costing as much as $250 million, parking and off-site infrastructure costing as much as $150 million and a practice facility costing $100 million. The estimates also include $50 million for a possible retractable-roof upgrade, as much as $350 million in soft costs and a $115 million contingency. Backers plan to evaluate each of the nine sites on ownership, capacity, land costs, access and egress, parking availability, game-day atmosphere and ability to maximize revenue. For the UNLV sites in particular, the major obstacle is their proximity to McCarran International Airport. Although officials originally dis-
cussed putting the stadium on the 42 acres on Tropicana, concerns about the airport and traffic have made that location unlikely. Executives from Southwest Airlines recently sent a letter to Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak, who is also a member of the infrastructure committee, saying they were “extremely concerned” about building the stadium there. The Southwest letter said a stadium so close to McCarran runways would restrict operations and “erode safety, security and capacity at the airport.” The other proposed UNLV site — the one by the Thomas & Mack Center — may face airport-related issues, as well: Rosemary Vassiliadis, the airport’s director of aviation, said an “interlocal contract” from 1996 restricted heights in the area. Committee member Kim Sinatra, a top Wynn Resorts executive, said she wanted more clarity about how the airport affected potential sites, because “it’s either a problem or it’s not a problem.” For the sites on or near the Strip, considerations center more on avail-
able space and the cost of land. The Riviera location is where the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority plans to expand its Las Vegas Convention Center, a project for which the committee approved a recommendation earlier in the meeting. The site offers about 47 acres, but more land would be necessary to fit the convention center expansion and a stadium. Sisolak said after the meeting that it was “pretty clear” the Riviera site was not a viable option, in large part because it required additional land. “It’s been my experience that, if somebody that owns that land knows you absolutely have to acquire that land in order to make that project feasible, that’s going to be a pretty expensive property to acquire,” he said. “So I don’t think that’s as realistic as some of the other proposals.” Sisolak was more receptive to the Station site, some 100 acres on Tropicana just west of I-15 that include the Wild Wild West casino and other land. A Station executive has said the company was open to discussing a deal for part of that site. In Sisolak’s view, the size of the Wild Wild West site offered enough room for the stadium and other development that could be included in a special tax district. Details of that district have not been settled, but it would generally allow the stadium’s operators to capture related tax revenues generated in a specific area. Similarly, Sisolak liked the idea of putting the stadium at MGM Resorts’ festival grounds site, which is where the Rock in Rio USA music festival was held in 2015. MGM Resorts President Bill Hornbuckle, another committee member, said in a previous statement that his company offered to contribute some of its land there “as an equity stake in the stadium at fair-market value to be determined at a future date.” When mulling the festival grounds as an option for the stadium, Sisolak was attracted to its closeness to some major potential developments: Resorts World Las Vegas, Alon Las Vegas and the for-sale Fontainebleau. Those projects could be included in the tax district, in Sisolak’s view. If that happened, Sisolak did not expect it to negatively affect the projects because they would not pay any different taxes — the only change would be “where you take the tax money and raiders, Co nti n ued on page 9

send it,” Sisolak said. The stadium also could end up being built on Wynn Resorts’ golf course on the Strip, the same spot where chairman and CEO Steve Wynn has proposed building his Paradise Park development. Wynn has said Paradise Park would include a large lagoon attraction with an island in the middle, a boardwalk, a 1,000-room hotel tower, a small casino, restaurants, nightlife and meeting space. Wynn Resorts spokesman Michael Weaver said in an davis email that his company had discussed the golf-course site, which encompasses more than 130 acres, with the stadium development group. “There is ample land for both the Paradise Park development and a stadium. We could accommodate both on the 130 acres,” Weaver said. It was not immediately clear how much of the golf course was available for other development. Weaver said “the precise land mass for Paradise Park is still in development,” but it would leave enough room for the stadium. Another possibility near the Strip is the vacant land on Russell Road and I-15 that’s owned by lenders including Barclays and Credit Suisse. Developer Jack Kashani wanted to build an expo center there in 2014, but nothing materialized. Investors reportedly bought the site, which is just across the freeway from Mandalay Bay, for more than $200 million in 2006 and had plans for a huge resort there. Lenders foreclosed in 2009. CBRE broker Michael Parks, who is marketing the site for sale, said there had not been any serious negotiations or discussions about putting a stadium on the Russell site. He said his firm made the stadium backers aware that it was an option. While CBRE did not disclose an asking price for the land, Parks said the pricing should “well fit within the budget (backers) have presented.” The 11-member infrastructure committee is vetting the stadium plans as it prepares to send recommendations to Sandoval. Raiders owner Mark Davis has said he would work to move his team to the stadium if it were approved; he pledged $500 million to the project at a previous committee meeting. If the committee were to approve a recommendation for the stadium, the Legislature would need to take action on it, likely in a special session this year. Also, 24 of 32 NFL team owners would need to sign off on the Raiders’ relocation. The committee’s next meeting is scheduled for July 28.

NV Energy expects $75.6 million purchase of Arizona natural gas plant to bring needed new power By daniel rothberg Staff Writer
As part of a pending sale with electricity generator Calpine, NV Energy plans to acquire an Arizona natural gas plant for $75.6 million and invest about $21 million in the facility. The price was disclosed in a filing NV Energy made with the Public Utilities Commission. The filing outlines forecasts for NV Energy’s Northern Nevada operations, which are conducted through its subsidiary, Sierra Pacific Power Co. In addition to purchasing the Arizona natural gas plant, the filing of more than 1,000 pages contains requests by the utility to slightly increase its spending on energy efficiency programs and for authorization to spend about $33 million on a transmission line. NV Energy also asked for more time to provide the utilities commission with an analysis of the environmental and economic impacts of renewable resources, including rooftop solar. “(The plan) is being filed at a time of rapid change in the electric energy industry,” the utility wrote, noting that natural gas prices were expected to remain low and that the price of large-scale solar had decreased significantly. “As a result, short-run wholesale electric prices are projected to remain low.” NV Energy’s plan, which requires commission approval, will be vetted in the coming months and could change. For now, the utility’s preferred plan revolves around the South Point Energy Center, the $75.6 million natural gas plant NV Energy plans to buy from Calpine. Under the proposed plan, NV Energy would tap some of South Point’s power — most of which will go to Southern Nevada — for its northern operations. Doing so, NV Energy argues, is its most cost-effective and reliable option. Buying the South Point Energy Center Calpine and NV Energy entered into a purchase agreement for the South Point Energy Center on April 1, after the utility had put out a solicitation seeking 400 to 700 megawatts of energy for customers. Pending regulatory approval, NV Energy plans to finalize the sale at the end of the year. In addition to spending an initial $100 million on the 550-megawatt South Point Energy Center, the utility expects to spend $111.9 million on the cost of transmission from the facility. South Point Energy Center would help provide NV Energy with new electricity as several power sources come offline. The utility has argued that purchasing an existing facility would be more reliable than constructing its own fossil-fuel plant, something it does not expect to do in the next decade. NV Energy needs new power as a natural gas contract ends and a coal plant goes offline. A deal between NV Energy and Calpine requires approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-

mission. An application with that commission said South Point Energy Center was in need of significant investment and that Calpine had been unable to operate it profitably, given low prices for natural gas. But the filing also said such a facility could be an opportunity for a utility, presenting a low-cost resource at a fraction of the cost to construct a new natural gas plant. A newly constructed facility producing a comparable amount of power would cost $711 million, NV Energy has estimated. The FERC application argues that the sale “presents a unique value to NV Energy’s customers, and that (it) will not result in any adverse effect on competition or any harm to wholesale markets.” Energy efficiency costs and benefits In its plan for Northern Nevada, NV Energy proposed investing $39.9 million in energy efficiency programs over the next three years. Its budget would be set at about $12.8 million in 2017 and rise slightly in 2018 and 2019. Energy advocates have criticized the utility in the past for not spending enough on these programs, but NV Energy is also constrained by how much utility regulators allow it to spend. Last year, the utilities commission denied a request by NV Energy for a $56 million annual energy efficiency budget in Southern Nevada. It set the budget around $40 million and cut several efficiency programs, including one for residential LED lights and another for efficient pool pumps. In part because of that same order, NV Energy is ending a residential lighting and refrigerator program in Northern Nevada. With the $39.9 million budget, it argued that it was opting for a less aggressive plan to keep rates down for customers, including those not participating in the programs. Given the high-pitched debate over rooftop solar, the commission asked in April that NV Energy examine costs and benefits of several renewable resources, from large-scale wind to rooftop solar. NV Energy included an analysis more than 100 pages long but asked regulators for more time to look at environmental factors and economic impacts. It plans to file that information within 60 days.

Coming soon: Take a peek inside the Lucky Dragon By j.d. morris Staff Writer
From the main gaming floor at the Lucky Dragon resort, gamblers will be able to see into a kitchen where cooks will make Chinese food. Upstairs, next to a dim sum restaurant’s main dining room, customers will see a live-seafood display where they can select fish to have prepared to their liking. In the lobby of the hotel, guests will be able to visit a bar-type area that emphasizes tea over alcohol — although it will serve both. And throughout the Lucky Dragon, set to open just off the north Strip this year, patrons will see signs in Chinese first and English second and be greeted by a multilingual staff. Those are just a few of the details the Lucky Dragon’s backers hope will make their boutique resort feel genuinely Asian. It’s intended to appeal to a broad clientele, according to Chief Operating Officer Dave Jacoby. “A lot of the conveniences that are really only afforded to the very few people that make up the high-roller class here, we’ll be providing that to everyone,” Jacoby told reporters during a recent tour of the Lucky Dragon site. The resort wants to position itself as an attractive spot for domestic Asian customers, instead of focusing largely on the international market. Jacoby also thinks the Lucky Dragon can be distinct enough from another planned Asian-themed resort, the much larger Resorts World Las Vegas, which is being developed essentially down the street. Moreover, Jacoby believes the Lucky Dragon’s distinct offerings will be enough to help it overcome its challenging location. On Sahara Avenue just west of Las
Vegas Boulevard, the Lucky Dragon faces some of the same obstacles as the nearby SLS Las Vegas: a neighborhood without much foot traffic or vibrant business activity to naturally bring in throngs of customers. Jacoby said the Lucky Dragon would stand out because it would offer, among other features, a casino emphasizing table games — particularly baccarat — as well as an all-Asian lineup of restaurants and a consistent emphasis on Asian linguistics. “Everyone’s got a cool nightclub now; everyone’s got hip restaurants, so it’s a very crowded space to try to compete in that arena. We’re really trying to differentiate ourselves,” he said. “There’s not somewhere else to go if you want a lot of authentic Chinese food, or if you want to be able to speak Mandarin or Cantonese, or you want to be at the place that ... has the best baccarat offerings. There’s not another place to go for that.” The Lucky Dragon is slated to feature a 27,500-square-foot casino that will be highlighted by a 1.25-ton hanging glass dragon sculpture. Its 203-room hotel, connected via bridge to the casino building, will include 23 standard suites averaging 625 square feet. The project also includes several restaurants, drinking areas, a pool and spa. Workers topped off the Lucky Dragon’s hotel structure in September. The project ran into difficulty in November, when the city of Las Vegas declined to consider granting it a publicly financed subsidy. But the Lucky Dragon’s backers announced in May that the project was fully financed, and they said they were accepting applications to fill 800 positions in June. The resort is scheduled to open late this year.

‘Strong summer’: Las Vegas home sales, prices heating up By eli segall Staff Writer
Las Vegas home prices in June rose from May, and sales totals climbed even faster, a report shows. The median sales price of previously owned single-family homes in Southern Nevada was $235,000, up 2.7 percent from May and 6.8 per-
cent from a year earlier, according to the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. Buyers picked up 3,248 singlefamily homes last month, up 19.9 percent from May and 6.3 percent year-over-year. The GLVAR reports data from its listing service, which largely compris-
es previously owned homes. “It’s shaping up to be a strong summer for our local housing market, and I think most of our members are optimistic that we can continue this momentum in the coming months,” GLVAR President Scott Beaudry, owner of Universal Realty, said in a news release.
Until a few months ago, home prices had remained largely flat for almost a year. According to the GLVAR, the median sales price of previously owned single-family homes — the bulk of Las Vegas’ for-sale market — hovered around $220,000 from June 2015 through April this year.

We parents don’t like getting babysitters during the week. Do a kids’ happy hour; provide those balloon artists ... offer special kids-eat-free nights and menus that provide more than just pizza and chicken nuggets.” And don’t forget the seniors. Worthey suggests doing a happy hour for that group. “Treat your older customers special,” she said. “They are used to getting discounts. Give a free dessert with an AARP card. Give discounts to veterans on Tuesday night.” Layered incentives Mehdi Zarhloul, owner of Crazy Pita Rotisserie & Grill’s three valley locations, started Paint-DrinkDine last year, inviting diners to learn from local artists while creating a piece of artwork to keep. It happens at the Town Square spot every other Thursday and funnels 25 percent of proceeds to the Josh Stevens Foundation, which promotes acts of kindness in memory of the Henderson native who lost his life at age 12. Customer data As a Las Vegas real estate agent focusing on restaurant and retail properties, MDL Group’s Hillary Steinberg knows the power of location when it comes to attracting business. But her work has brought other insights, including how important it is for restaurants to tap current clients for personal information, such as birthdays and anniversaries. “Create a database and start campaigns based around holidays, special dinners or events,” Steinberg says. Because, no doubt, some of those events happen on Tuesday.
