OUR TAKE: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS HAS A NICE RING We’ve repeatedly asked ourselves, surely in disbelief of the accelerated process: What could prevent the Oakland Raiders from relocating to Las Vegas? Since plans for a $1.9 billion stadium near the Strip to lure the Raiders were announced, many dominoes have fallen. The Legislature OK’d $750 million in public money, the NFL appeared to soften its stance on sports betting, and Raiders owner Mark Davis submitted relocation papers with the league on Jan. 19. The move still requires approval from 24 of the NFL’s 32 owners and many more details about the stadium’s location, design and infrastructure to fall into place. A few potential roadblocks: ■ Eight owners could band together and vote against the move. It’s unlikely because of Nevada’s commitment, and every owner would jump at the opportunity for that funding. But they may have other concerns. ■ Most of the league’s revenue comes from TV, and the owners may come to the realization the Las Vegas market is too small. They could

This is the only state where sports wagering is regulated, so we have protocols to make it difficult to fix games. ■ Why another move? Three teams relocating in two years could be seen as a black eye by the league.

Q&A with chris armstrong

Social interaction is community’s best amenity Chris Armstrong, vice president of development at Olympia Cos., spends a good portion of his workday on Skye Canyon, the company’s newest master-planned community. Phase 1 of the project was recently completed, so Armstrong and his team turn their focus to Phase 2, which includes an estimated 215 acres of residential use, parks and trails. Do you have any recent news you’d like to share? Over the past year, we’ve developed the Fit Lives Here event series, supporting our vision of being the base camp for the great outdoors. These events are open to the Las Vegas community and offer our residents a chance to meet their neighbors. As an outdoor enthusiast, I am looking forward to our second annual Skye Canyon 8K Trail Mix and 5K Road Race on March 19, which also marks Skye Canyon’s one-year anniversary. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? Attracting new industry and supporting talented workers to diversify the economy. The municipalities and state economic policies have had some success in attracting new and diverse industries, but we need to further exploit the attributes of our great city and find additional incentives to attract outside companies. Chris Armstrong has been involved with Skye Canyon since its inception and, as an avid cyclist, says it is particularly Health care and technology, with jobs gratifying to see the master-planned community’s outdoor amenities take shape.

Italian food with a touch of Brooklyn, a dash of Vegas VEGAS INC STAFF

Vic “Vegas” Moea placed third on the seventh season of “Food Network Star,” which ran in 2011. He is a self-trained chef who moved to Las Vegas from New York at age 13, then worked his way up from dishwasher to executive chef before opening his own restaurants. His latest, 7 Sinful Subs, is so named because there are seven menu items. With sandwiches running no more than $10, it’s a good bet to become a favorite for students, given its location near UNLV. Describe your business.

7 Sinful Subs features unique, oven-baked gourmet subs. This hybrid offers diners the taste of the classic New York Italian, but with a Las Vegas twist. I have put a lot of heart and soul into every sub on the menu, giving guests a sinful and decadent experience. Who are your customers?

Anyone who likes great food is our customer. I create food for a living and just like all people, either in a restaurant or at home, we want great food for a great price. Our customers don’t have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to taste the quality. Oh, and they are very filling.

What’s the most important part of your job?

Being in a position to contribute heavily to the new trends of the sub-shop market while remaining different from the rest. What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas?

Not only do I get to take care of great people that reside here, but also the many visitors, friends and family who pass through.

Are there any dishes at 7 Sinful Subs that fans are sure to recognize from your time on the Food Network?

Besides my grandmother’s and mother’s meatballs, sauce and chicken cutlet, most of these recipes were thought up either way before the Food Network or much after.

What has been your hardest lesson in business?

Too much or not enough salt. How can Nevada improve its business climate?

I would love UNLV to get a new stadium closer to campus, because it would contribute to the economy in many ways.

You have done a bit of everything in the food industry, from dishwasher to executive chef, celebrity chef and now restaurant owner. What job or experience has taught you the most about running a business?

With so many food choices in Las Vegas, how do you separate yourself from the competition?

Sandoval announces marijuana tax, seeks $60M for school vouchers lion would be given to career and technical education programs at the state’s four community colleges. While only 30 percent of Nevadans ages 25 to 34 have earned some sort of post-secondary school degree, Sandoval said his education and workforce development agenda would lead Nevada toward a 60 percent tally for post-secondary degrees for that demographic by 2025. “It’s ambitious, yes, but we’ve never shied from making bold choices,” Sandoval said. The governor’s proposed 10 percent excise tax on recreational marijuana sales in Nevada was met with mixed reaction from the Nevada Dispensary Association and state politicians. Association President Andrew Jolley said that while he had heard rumors of the proposed tax, Sandoval’s announcement was not completely expected. Jolley, who noted an additional 15 percent tax already is in place for wholesale marijuana purchases on recreational marijuana, said overtax-

By chris kudialis Staff Writer

Gov. Brian Sandoval, at his fourth and final State of the State address, proposed a two-year, $8.1 billion budget to fund workforce development, education, infrastructure and health care. The budget, outlined in an hourlong speech, represents an 11 percent increase from the governor’s $7.3 billion budget proposed in 2015. Sandoval also announced a 10 percent excise tax on recreational marijuana sales to help support the new budget, which includes $60 million for the state Education Savings Account program. “We’ve heard from thousands of Nevada families about how crucial it is that we give them freedom of choice in the education of their children,” Sandoval said. “I look forward to building a bipartisan solution to get this done. It’s time to give Nevada families a choice.” Of $115 million in investments for higher education, Sandoval said a combined $58 million would be allotted to UNLV and UNR, while $21 mil-

ing the new industry could result in higher prices for buyers and the reentry of underground sellers. “The higher the price, the stronger the illegal black market will be,” Jolley said. “We need to learn the mistakes of other states that have overtaxed marijuana, and find the right balance.” State Sen. Tick Segerblom said he first heard of the new tax just hours before Sandoval’s speech. Segerblom said the governor’s mention of recreational marijuana use was “huge” and illustrates Sandoval’s willingness to acknowledge and incorporate marijuana as “part of the government.” “The tax thing we can deal with it,” Segerblom said. “The reality is if you look at other states, their governors tried to push marijuana back. The fact that our governor has embraced it is a big step in the right direction.” Sandoval also spoke about the growth of the Nevada economy during his six years as governor. When Sandoval took office in 2011, unemployment in the Silver State was about 14 per-

cent. That number fell to 5.1 percent by the end of 2016, and more than 198,000 jobs have been added in that time, he said. Sandoval credited the growth in part to higher tourism rates and growing casino revenue. “Our diverse economy has helped us add jobs across the board,” he said, “with many industries either exceeding or nearing pre-recession levels.” Shortly after Sandoval’s speech, Nevada Democratic Majority Leader Aaron Ford applauded the “great strides” made in the economy under the governor’s leadership. But Ford took aim at Sandoval’s support for ESAs, arguing that the private school voucher program would take state money from public schools. “It is not fair to Nevada families to divert our limited resources toward private schools,” Ford said, adding that Democrats would be focused on “ensuring an adequately and equitably funded public school system” in the 2017 Legislature.

Nevada members of Congress discuss their 2017 goals, thoughts on Trump By Adam Candee Staff Writer

With half of the Nevada’s six Congressional seats changing hands as the executive branch switches parties, the state will be represented by a group that includes the first Latina senator in United States history. VEGAS INC asked our representatives and senators to describe their priorities for the 115th Congress, as well as their plans for working with President Donald Trump and their opposing party. SENATE n Dean Heller, R-Nev.: Now the senior senator from Nevada after being appointed to replace John Ensign in 2011 and defeating Shelley Berkley in 2012, Heller’s priorities include the repeal of the so-called “Cadillac tax” provision of the Affordable Care Act as well as legislation related to Veterans Affairs and the development of the Interstate 11 corridor between Las Vegas and Phoenix. Heller also supports Nevada’s continued resistance of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository, which could see revived interest under a Trump administration. “The senator will work with all parties to advance and achieve these goals for the state,” said Neal Patel, communications director for Heller. n Catherine Cortez Masto, DNev.: The former attorney general for Nevada, Cortez Masto steps into the enormous shadow of former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who chose her as his preferred replacement in Washington. In addition to taking up Reid’s top cause of preventing the development of a nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain, Cortez Masto “re-

mains committed to the same issues I campaigned on: raising the minimum wage, passing middle-class tax cuts, rebuilding our infrastructure and expanding clean energy, investing in the VA system, protecting Planned Parenthood funding, fighting for comprehensive immigration reform and keeping families together.” Cortez Masto hopes Trump will work with Congress to address infrastructure, veterans’ issues and trade, but reiterated her stated promise to act as a watchdog on the new president. “Issues like caring for our veterans, combating human trafficking and fighting terrorism should not be partisan,” Cortez Masto said. “But I want to be clear: Bipartisanship has its limits. As I promised on election night, I will also be a check and balance on Donald Trump if he continues to be divisive and hateful and anti-immigrant.” HOUSE n Dina Titus, D-Nev.: Now the longest-tenured Democrat in Nevada’s delegation, Titus joined her Senate colleagues in emphasizing issues related to veterans, Yucca Mountain, and the development of Interstate 11. She added defense of public lands and continuation of health care for seniors who have gained coverage through the ACA, as well as immigration reform to help families stay together.

“I will also be vocal about holding the Trump Administration accountable,” Titus said. “The president-elect and his cabinet picks have denied climate change, stoked xenophobia, promised to strip Americans of their health care and vowed to work with the GOP-controlled Congress to slash taxes for the rich while cutting vital programs for underserved communities. We need an approach that will be good for all Americans — not just Trump’s band of billionaires.” n Mark Amodei, R-Nev.: A supporter of Trump throughout the presidential campaign, Amodei said he plans on “upholding a strong oversight commitment over all executive branch operations.” His interests also include three lands bills requested by Washoe, Douglas and Pershing counties, as well as “focusing on much-needed reforms in regards to health care, immigration, jobs and the economy.” “So far this Congress, (Amodei has) worked with his colleagues in the House to pass several bills that will cut down on burdensome regulations and government-knows-best policies, bringing people back to the center of their government,” said Logan Ramsey, Amodei’s communications director. n Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.: Rosen is one of two Democratic freshmen in

the Nevada delegation and is holding elected office for the first time. She listed strengthening Social Security and Medicare as her top priorities, and wants to focus on cybersecurity and military issues as part of her appointment to the House Armed Services Committee. “I’m going to work across the aisle as much as possible,” Rosen said. “I’ll stand firm on my principles, but I’ve already met several Republicans in the Congress who want to work across the aisle. I know the fighting gets so much attention, but I came here to get things done. (Trump) has said many times that he wants to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare. If he keeps that promise, I’ll work with him to do it.” n Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev.: Kihuen said his top priorities include protecting Medicare and Medicaid, continuing his work on making higher education more affordable, and creating good-paying jobs. “There are certain issues, like working to restore infrastructure, or rebuilding our public schools, where there is room to work with a Republican administration,” Kihuen said. “I think we can all agree we want to see more Americans with good-paying jobs, see our children grow up with endless opportunities, and ensure our veterans are treated fairly.”

Gun dealers: Sales expected to drop with Trump in charge By chris kudialis Staff Writer

On the heels of a record year of firearm sales in the United States, gun dealers at the recent Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade show credited a combined fear of gun restrictions by President Barack Obama and growing public participation in sport shooting as reason for the sales explosion.

Exhibitors at show also said with President Donald Trump in office, fewer people would rush into stores fearing they won’t be able to purchase them in the future. “2016 was huge, eclipsing even 2013 for sales,” said Mike Bazinet, the SHOT Show’s public affairs director. “There’s no question political concerns on the part on gun owners and

their access to the product might be limited. But our retailers also have noticed heavy media coverage of local crime, and heavy participation in shooting sports is a part of that growth.” Trump has expressed opposition to gun and magazine bans, and, on his campaign website, said the Second Amendment is “under threat like

never before.” Having a conservative president and Republican Congress will cause the market to slow down, said Daniel Defense brand representative Matt Hurt. Hurt called the Republican effect “normal,” and said it would allow firearm and ammo inventory to catch up with last year’s skyrocketing demand.

“A lot of people don’t file their tax returns because they fear they can’t afford to pay what they owe,” said Pat Smith, director of Nevada Free Taxes Coalition. “Or they don’t think they make enough to have to file a return, but they could still get this credit if they file.” NFTC helps low- and moderateincome filers to claim these funds. NFTC is a nonprofit group that administers funds from the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, a grant-funded program allowing taxpayers who earned less than $55,000 in 2016 to claim tax credits ranging from $500 to more than $6,000, depending on their family situations. “VITA is one of the most effective anti-poverty government programs out there,” Smith said. “We definitely want to make sure that anyone who’s eligible for this credit files their return and claims it.” NFTC has about 175 IRS-certified volunteers, Smith said. The volunteers served about 8,000 Southern Nevada households last year, saving participants $1.4 million in tax preparation and filing fees while delivering $10.5 million in federal income tax refunds. “If we can remove that barrier and assure them they’re getting their taxes done by IRS-certified volunteers who are looking to identify and help them claim any credits they are due, then that is going to make the taxpayer much more comfortable in Free In-person filing their returns and staying taxSupport Services compliant,” Smith said.

A new player in this space is Credit Karma — the advertising-driven credit-monitoring service — which announced in December the acquisition of AFJC Corp., purveyors of a user-focused tax software platform (as opposed to compliance-focused) for an undisclosed sum. “If you’re using an online program, make sure it’s a well-known, reputable company,” Herr said. “If it’s wedotaxes.com that just opened up a P.O.

Major league sports create ripple of opportunity for Las Vegas

he arrival of major league sports in Las Vegas, beginning with the debut season of the Vegas Golden Knights hockey team this fall (and potentially the Raiders football team in two years), will have a seismic impact on how locals and visitors spend discretionary entertainment dollars. Resorts, venues, producers, marketers and media need to capitalize on the opportunities this presents, and have the long-term strategic vision to overcome the challenges. The opportunities n Fans of visiting Guest column: teams will broaden our Arlene Wszalek audience of potential visitors well beyond traditional feeder markets. n 35 percent of convention attendees bring someone with them who’s not attending. The same could hold true for sports tourists, increasing the potential audience for shows and other entertainment. n Sporting events will provide new marketing

opportunities for shows, food and beverage, etc., via on-site signage, event programs, digital displays, sponsorships and more. The challenges n We have about 150 show performances and 100,000-plus ticketed seats available on an average night. Only 72,000 of our 118,000 daily visitors see any show during their visit, so we already have more seats available than visitors to fill them. The option of professional sports dilutes that number further. n T-Mobile Arena and Park Theater recently added 25,000 potential seats to the city. An NFL team would add tens of thousands more, increasing occupancy and pricing pressure on local venues. n Hotel room inventory hasn’t changed meaningfully since CityCenter opened nearly a decade ago, while visitor numbers continue to grow. Room scarcity would drive up average daily rates (good!) but means we might not be able to accommodate everyone who wants to visit (bad!), especially when sports overlap with our largest events, such as CES or Electric Daisy Carnival. What does all this mean for us? Resorts, producers, venues: You must consider your entertainment offerings more strategically

than ever. More than two dozen Las Vegas shows closed last year, even without competition from major league sports. Some ran their course; some were the wrong show in the wrong room; several weren’t given the time to find their audience. Do the research to make sure there’s sufficient market/ demand for your show, in the room and at the frequency you want to present it. Fund a budget with adequate marketing resources to allow your show months of slow sales as it develops its audience. Marketers: Travel intenders are inundated with online ads for resorts, restaurants and shows from the moment they start planning their trips. The ads increase exponentially once visitors arrive (baggage claim, taxis and your Facebook feed, anyone?). We need to work with ad vendors to develop new ad placements and to ensure our messages stand out among the cacophony while efficiently reaching the best potential customers to drive ticket sales. The addition of major league sports is a huge step in our continuing evolution as a multidimensional resort destination. As with previous tectonic shifts in our market, we’ll adapt and innovate to accommodate it. It’s a fantastic, exciting time for Las Vegas. Arlene Wszalek is vice president of strategic marketing at Allied Integrated Marketing/87AM, and heads its Las Vegas office.
