How to fast-track that promotion Insider tips on climbing the corporate ladder By Howard Riell | Special to Vegas Inc
Who isn’t impatient to get ahead? ¶ According to a recent national workforce survey conducted by global market research firm IPSOS and the Jack Welch Management Institute, 31 percent of American professionals said they had been passed over for a promotion they felt they deserved — and 43 percent thought about quitting their jobs in the past year due to frustrations at work and limited opportunity for advancement. promotions, Continued on page 15

OUR TAKE: DRAINING THE SWAMP IS FINE, UNLESS YOUR BUSINESS IS HURT As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump used the phrase “drain the swamp” to tap into voter frustration over career politicians and lobbyists working together to foil the will of the people. Trump signed an executive order banning appointees from his administration from lobbying the agency they worked under for a five-year period following their departure, and has proposed congressional term limits. Nevada has always tried to limit the growth of the swamp. By constitutional design, the Legislature meets every other year, and each regular session is limited to 120 days. The state also adopted term limits for legislators and prohibited them from accepting most gifts from lobbyists. But if you own or manage a business here, you would be wise to hire a lobbyist, either on your own or through a trade or professional organization. The process is too complicated and moves too quickly to follow on your own. As of
Feb. 21, there were 229 Assembly bills and 198 Senate bills that could be made law, with time for more to be introduced. Could you attend every committee meeting in the Senate and Assembly for every bill that could affect your business? Could you attend every hearing about a law? Don’t forget committees that meet between sessions. Issue and industry groups can also meet anytime to discuss and draft potential bills. That’s why almost 600 lobbyists were registered to work this legislative session. Government, even with Nevada’s libertarian history, affects almost every aspect of life. So even if lobbying rules could eliminate favoritism and every legislator always voted with the best intentions of everyone in mind, your business could still be damaged by the laws that come out of Carson City. We may want to drain the swamp. But if you want to stay in business, get used to having muddy feet. — THOMAS MOORE

Q&A with Kasha Mackelprang
‘It’s up to us to make our goals a reality’ Kasha Mackelprang, executive director of catering and conference services at Red Rock Resort, is a certified meeting professional, having passed a rigorous exam and demonstrated the professional experience and education to earn the distinction created by the Convention Industry Council. “The CMP designation validates a team’s commitment to the meeting industry,” she said. What is the best business advice you’ve ever received? Two simple truths that I have carried with me are: No. 1: Dress and behave in a manner that reflects the job you want, not the job you have; No. 2: Treat everyone fairly, especially the people who work paycheck to paycheck to support your success. The second piece of advice was from my dad, who was a town manager in my hometown and oversaw the maintenance crew for 30 years. You have risen from a front desk clerk to become an executive director. To what do you attribute your success? Setting career goals and keeping them front of mind in all decisions along the way. When I was 18 and working at the front desk, I wanted to be in catering. When I was a catering manager, I wanted to be a director of catering. When I took a step back and moved to Las Vegas, I knew I wanted to be a director of catering and conference services at the Venetian. It’s up to us to make our goals a reality. A lot of hard work and a little luck certainly help, too. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? The one issue that hits home with me is the state of our education system. While I am not a parent, I feel that education is the key to the success of our region. Only a third of Nevada families have at least one parent with a college degree. We not only need to grow our secondary school rates, we also need to focus on early education. The only true way to invest in our future is to invest in our students. What has been your most exciting professional project to date? Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to travel to other destinations to open/support properties other than my own. One of my favorite projects was assisting in training at the Venetian Macau. All these years later, I am able to stay in touch with the Macau team through social media. Time and distance are not enough to end relationships built during these opening events. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas? I love hiking Red Rock Canyon. I’m an Arizona girl, and the canyon always makes me feel a little at home. Describe your management style. I primarily lead other leaders. My style with my leadership team is to inspire them to grow person-

ally and add value to our team. I want my bench to be strong and full of potential future directors. My style with my supporting teams is focused on fairness and consistency. Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years? I am excited to see what happens to Station Casinos in the coming years. I love the company and admire the Fertitta family. I will be here for the long haul. Station Casinos’ 50th anniversary is 10 years away. I may have a very big party to plan. What is your dream job outside of your current field? Teaching third grade would be my other dream job. Eight- and 9-year-olds are so eager to learn. A long time ago, I had an opportunity to support a special-needs child in a third-grade classroom. The lessons I learned while doing that job have remained with me my entire adult life. As they say, “teaching creates all other professions.” What’s your favorite place you have visited? And where would you like to go that you haven’t been? Having been born in England, I was fortunate enough to visit many places in Europe as a child. I love to travel. I love adventure. The bucket list of places to visit is long and varied — everything from
Istanbul to Turks and Caicos. Whom do you admire? While there are many public figures whom I admire, there is no one I admire more than my mum. My mum moved from England to the U.S., in a rural part of Arizona with very unique challenges. She is the epitome of kindness. Her heart is bigger than anyone I know. Mum is the kind of lady who inspires you to be a better person. What is your funniest or most embarrassing work story? I am a klutz, and people with balance issues should not wear 4-inch heels to work every day. I have dozens of stories that involve a fall in the most unfortunate of audiences. As I have gotten older, the falls seem to have gotten harder. I envy those who walk in grace, and I hope someday I can learn that skill. What is something that people might not know about you? I am a small-town girl, from an Arizona native cowboy and a prim-and-proper English au pair. I regularly handle events that are larger than the town I grew up in. Your career inspiration and passion can come from many places. Mine came from the early opportunities to travel between Arizona and England.

His business is part sculpture, part performance another event. The second was a live performance I did for Viking Cruises. It was a 7-footby-12-foot Viking on a dragon boat. I made my entrance to the stage as a drunken Viking cheering “skol,” toasting and saluting the guests with my beer stein sculpted out of ice. We revealed to the crowd the large display across the terrace and, to an “epic battle cry” playlist, I shaped, rounded and applied finishing details, then glazed the 1,800-pound ice statue with my blowtorch. Lastly, I froze an ice sword to the top of the statue, introduced “Mike the Vike,” and took my bow.

Have you ever had a sculpture shatter or melt at an inopportune time?
Ice is temperamental if you don’t pay attention to the elements around you. If a sculpture changes temperature too fast, it goes into a thermo shock and fractures. Once, I was building a display and the bottom two slabs of the ice on the pallet snapped in half during transport. Luckily, it was a clean break, so I was able to weld the broken slabs together with some cold water and slush snow. What’s the strangest, funniest, or most awesome request you’ve received?

Economist details toll of property tax cap on government budgets
Nevada parties diverge on legislative priorities By THOMAS MOORE Staff Writer
By THOMAS MOORE Staff Writer
A property tax cap has cost governments in Nevada as much money the past two years as was raised from new taxes and fees enacted in the last legislative session, an economist told a joint meeting of the Senate Committee on Revenue and Economic Development and the Assembly Committee on Taxation at the Nevada Legislature. “Lots of legislators have expressed to me that it feels like they were making strides and attempting to get forward but it felt like we’re not always getting ahead,” said Jeremy Aguero, a principal at economic analysis firm Applied Analysis. Aguero was hired by a group of local governments in Nevada to examine property taxes and the cap, or abatement as it’s officially called, that was enacted in 2005 to provide tax relief to homeowners who, because of the housing bubble, were experiencing huge increases in property values. The cap worked “exactly as it was intendAGUERO ed to,” Aguero said, by slowing increases in property taxes during the boom. However, local governments have complained that since the economic recovery, the abatement has kept property taxes low even while demand for local services has risen. During a lengthy and comprehensive presentation, Aguero detailed Nevada’s unique version of property taxes, how the tax cap works, the history of Nevada’s property taxes and the effect the cap is having on local governments and taxpayers. For taxpayers, Aguero said, the cap has been a windfall, saving them $700 million since it was enacted — money they were able to save or invest in the economy. But for local governments, it was a significant cut in potential revenue, especially for schools, Aguero said, which would have received 40 percent of that money. A representative from Clark County, who presented to the committee after Aguero, echoed that point by offering statistics showing that demand for emergency medical services, child protective services, emergency dispatch needs and building code enforcement have all risen, while tax revenues have remained flat. In a foreshadowing of what may become a partisan battle if property tax legislation is proposed, senators from both sides of the aisle questioned Aguero about how the economics of the tax cap play out. “Wouldn’t that be fairly reflective of the year-over-year increases that local government would incur?” asked Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson. Roberson was referring to one of the numbers used to calculate the tax cap, twice whatever the consumer price index is. “It seems to me,” he said, “that two times the consumer price index might be a pretty good indicator of what local governments are faced with on a yearly basis as far as increased costs, and wouldn’t that be a good way to provide some sort of limit as far as what property owners would have to pay?” The chairwoman of the joint committee, Democratic Sen. Julia Ratti, said some costs governments incur do not mirror the consumer price index. “I’m speaking specifically of schools,” she said. “Whenever there’s a financial bubble and a building boom, the cost of construction and building maintenance are areas where that consumer price index does not correlate well with the costs.”
Nevada Democrats recently unveiled priorities for the 2017 Legislature in what they called the Nevada Blueprint, contrasting their goals with two documents Republicans had released. The Republican Assembly leadership’s Battle Born Priorities was released shortly after Senate Republicans released a plan titled A Pathway Forward for All Nevadans. Each document is filled with glowing promises and attractive images of desert landscapes and Nevadans at work. But it’s the details beneath the colorful images that highlight the differences between the parties’ approaches. Education The biggest difference between the parties is school choice and Gov. Brian Sandoval’s Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). Both the Senate and Assembly Republican documents call for full funding of ESAs. The Nevada Blueprint also calls for school choice but only within the public school system, via magnet schools, career and technical academies, expanded open enrollment and charter schools. The Democratic plan also calls for increased funding for public education from a tax on recreational marijuana sales. Sandoval made a similar proposal in his State of the State address, calling for a 10 percent excise tax on recreational marijuana sales to support his budget. The governor earmarked $60 million for ESAs in his proposed budget, which is being reviewed by the Legislature. Aside from ESAs, in both documents, Republicans promised to support the changes made to education in the 2015 legislative session when they were in the majority. The Democratic Blueprint denotes more specific plans for higher education than either Republican document. It calls for a college debt-refinancing program, tuition caps at community colleges, funding for vocational training and the expansion of the Teach Nevada scholarship, which rewards students who promise to become Nevada teachers. The economy In the Nevada Blueprint, the focus is on jobs; support for business is couched in the context of how it helps workers. For example, Democrats propose
holding companies accountable for the job-creating promises they make when accepting tax incentives, helping Nevada businesses get state contracts and offering tax credits to companies that cover employee child care costs. Both Republican plans, conversely, focus on making Nevada more attractive to businesses, by reducing red tape, improving infrastructure and keeping taxes low. Employment is mentioned as a byproduct of making Nevada more business friendly. Both the Democratic Blueprint and Republicans’ Pathway address startups: the Blueprint by providing smallbusiness incubators, the Pathway by creating an environment that supports “startup communities.” Health care The Nevada Blueprint proposes creating an earned sick leave program — allowing employees to take a day off when family members are ill — as well as forcing health insurance companies to cover preventive care and addressing cognitive and palliative care for seniors. The Republican Assembly plan is vague about health care, generally promising to expand access. The Senate Pathway document is more specific, mentioning increased funding for UNLV’s medical school and expanding the telehealth network. The Democratic blueprint also mentioned funding UNLV’s medical school, but in the larger context of higher education. Other differences n Public lands: The Nevada Blueprint calls for state lands to be in “public hands” while both Republican documents call for transferring federal land to Nevadans. n Senior fraud: Both the Democratic Blueprint and the Senate Republican Pathway documents mention senior fraud as an issue. The Assembly Republican document does not. n Equal pay, wage theft and exploitation: Only the Nevada Blueprint talks about these worker issues. n Voting: The Blueprint calls for free, fair and accessible voting. The Pathway promotes a voter ID law and transparency for political contributions. n Illegal immigration: Neither Republican document mentions immigration. The Democratic caucus promised to protect Nevadans from discrimination, even those who are in the U.S. illegally.

After hearing hours of passionate public comment, the Clark County commission voted 5-2 on Feb. 22 to let a Las Vegas developer move forward with plans for a community of more than 5,000 homes near the scenic Red Rock National Conservation Area. Gypsum Resources will conduct studies into specifics regarding infrastructure, design and development of the project on the site of a former gypsum mine. The decision angered opponents, many of whom are associated with the group Save Red Rock. Hundreds of people filled the commission chambers and an overflow area in the govA packed house listens as speakers make their points before the Clark County ernment center cafeteria.

have the ultimate say on matters.” In a presentation to the commission, Krater said the land in question was a “complex, complicated piece of ground” that has been extensively mined and offers no “resource value” in the view of the Bureau of Land Management. That is why earlier efforts for a land swap with the BLM fell flat. “Our team continues to believe it will be a great benefit to Southern Nevada,” Krater said of the development. “It balances nature and culture. It also will serve to reclaim the open pit and subterranean mining, and provide public access to currently private land.” Krater said he hoped the developer would still be able to ease some of the worries of opponents. “We won’t be able to solve all of the concerns, but we look forward to engaging with the community during this process,” he said. Rhodes, the builder of thousands of homes in developments including Rhodes Ranch, Tuscany Village and Spanish Hills, bought the Blue Diamond mine property in 2003. He also owns ranch property in northwest Arizona. State and county lawmakers passed land-use restrictions that effectively killed his first proposal for a masterplanned community. Lawsuits followed, plans stalled further during the Great Recession, and the process stopped when Rhodes’ development company filed bankruptcy in 2009.
Rental rates climb along with home prices in Southern Nevada By adam candee Staff Writer
As it becomes more expensive to buy a house in Southern Nevada in early 2017, home and apartment rental rates creep upward as well. The 2016 fourth-quarter report from RentRange, which provides information in the single-family rental sector, showed that the average monthly rent for a three-bedroom home in the Las Vegas area bumped up to $1,286, representing a 6.1 percent increase over the same time the previous year. That elevated price still lagged behind the national average, for which the same-sized house cost $1,325. That was a 2.4 percent
increase over the same period in 2015. Apartment rents rose as well, with 6 percent growth to $904 on average in January, according to a report from RentCafe, a nationwide internet listing service. The same report expected increased inventory to alleviate some pricing pressure on apartment rent in Las Vegas, with 3,400 units under construction. Despite placing among the top 20 cities for fastest growth in apartment price, Las Vegas also ranked among the top 20 for lowest rent among major cities. “Considering the economic factors that contribute to Las Vegas’ housing market, in addition to the overall economic health forecasted for the year,
we expect rental prices will rise (in 2017),” said Tod Wever of Real Property Management in Las Vegas. That would track with the local home resale market, which unexpectedly moved upward in January. The median price of existing singlefamily homes jumped to $238,000, up 1.3 percent from December and up 8.7 percent from $219,000 in January 2016. The median price of condos and townhomes sold was $113,500, moving up slightly from December but down 5.4 percent from January 2016. The winter months typically offer stagnant home resale prices, but an ongoing lack of supply continues to inflate cost. Less than a three-month
supply of homes stands available for sale; a six-month supply is considered to be a balanced market. “This is another example of the steady appreciation local homeowners have been enjoying over the past few years,” said Dave Tina, president of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. “It’s good for our housing market and the economy when more homeowners are building equity in their homes.” The Las Vegas vacancy rate held nearly unchanged at 3.92 percent for three-bedroom homes in the RentRange study. Nationally, vacancy rates stood at 4.8 percent through the fourth quarter of 2016, down 0.2 percent from a year earlier.

E-sports enthusiasts get big league treatment downtown By mick akers Staff Writer
Gamers are about to get the major league treatment with the addition of a facility downtown aimed at showcasing the best in the e-sports world. Millennial Esports at Neonopolis is set to open a 15,000-square-foot e-sports arena March 3 with a three-day Halo tournament. “As soon as I got into this (e-sports) industry, I knew I wanted to be in Las Vegas, and specifically in downtown Las Vegas,” said Alex Igelman, CEO of Toronto-based Millennial Esports. “The demographic and everything about downtown fits perfectly with esports — you know the millennials.” Igelman, an attorney, has a long history in Las Vegas. Before embarking into e-sports, he worked with the city to help collect gambling debts. He said the facility is a perfect fit for downtown, rich with his target demographic and amenities already in place. “Even just within this facility, there’s food establishments, beverage establishments, an arcade. They can even get married right here at Neonopolis in two places.” he said. “You’ve got pretty much everything you need.

Don’t take advantage your Business-to-business news “I’ve had some employees use other work feb. 26 - march 4 ‘offers’ to try to force or strong-arm a pro- Send your business-related information to news@vegasinc.com motion when they know their employer is in a precarious situation in regards to its workforce. That is short-sighted. Even if they get the promotion, their days are numbered at the current job because no one enjoys being taken advantage of.” — Judah Zakalik, partner at Peters & Associates p rom otions, fr om page 1
VEGAS INC
Perform well, and let them know it While promotions can sometimes be limited by the growth of your organization and other factors outside of your control, there are always ways you can accelerate your climb up the ladder. Some of Las Vegas’ most successful businesspeople offer these suggestions: Be more useful “Do the job you were hired for, and do it better than what is expected. At the same time, see what else you can assist with while not neglecting your job. Learn some skills that look to be needed and make yourself useful. If you do these things and they are not appreciated, get a promotion by finding another position elsewhere.” — Leo Bletnitsky, founder and president of LBA Networking Inc./Las Vegas Med I.T.
Stand out “I remember when I went to club volleyball tryouts and my high school coach told me to wear bright colors or something noticeable on my shirt, because hundreds of the other girls would be wearing black shorts and white tops. I’ve always thought about this at work. It’s not good to stand out by what you wear per se, but by your work ethic — going above and beyond for the business. Always be available to your manager and present solutions, not problems. Jump in when challenges present themselves.” — Stephanie Mohr, director of customer care at SolarCity
Beat the clock “It’s not just what you do between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. that will help you get the promotion. Often, it is what you do before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m. that will set you apart and help get the promotion. Spending time on your own to become more knowledgeable regarding your profession, developing relationships that will help bring in new business or better serve customers and clients, or working on a charitable board all show initiative and position you to advance in your career.” — Chris Wilcox, tax partner at Eide Bailly Las Vegas
Ask the question “The first mistake (people) make is not asking the person in charge of promoting them what they need to do to get promoted. It’s such a simple step, but it’s the only way to know. If you go around allegedly ‘working hard,’ you may be working on a whole bunch of stuff that matters not one bit in terms of you qualifying for a promotion. Also, when it comes time for your performance review, you need to be sure that the results you report on are actually results that are meaningful to your company and, specifically, to your boss. ... So, when your boss tells you, ‘You’ll qualify for promotion if your sales percentage is above 50 percent’ you set an example of professionalism in the office. That means being on time every day; you create new processes that reduce shrinkage in the store to a level of 5 percent or less; you type up the minutes to that meeting with your boss and then you email those notes back to him so there’s a written record of what qualifies you for a promotion. When it’s time for your performance review, you then have metrics your boss defined upon which to report. How much more powerful is it to come back to your performance review with a typed-out report listing the metrics your boss defined as meaning success in your role, along with the results of how you performed?” — Regina Ford, vice president of diversity and inclusion at Caesars Entertainment Corp.
Be involved “Consider the company’s interest as much as your own. Present the problems or challenges you see impeding the company, and then be involved in presenting solutions. I look at this as ownership of the part that you play in the success of the company.” — Lydia Wyatt, DDS
Make noise “Toot your own horn. I know it is hard for some people to promote themselves, but no one else is going to promote you; everyone else is looking out for themselves.” — Denise L. Signorelli, biology professor at the College of Southern Nevada
Go above and beyond “A strong work ethic is crucial. Always go above and beyond. People want to know that you are the kind of independent leader that they want on their team. Be the type of worker that works just as hard when no one is watching.” — Tya Mathis-Coleman, director 1 at the Clark County School District
Deserve it daily “Employees are on a stage every day, whether they realize it or not. Getting that promotion is a matter of proving it’s deserved through everyday interactions. When the time comes to formally ask, it requires little convincing.” — Latoya Bembry, public relations director at the Ferraro Group
Perform well “First, they have to be good at the job they’re doing. They must be dependable, enjoy learning, accept responsibility for the job they do now, ask good questions, and take on more responsibility to prepare for the next job.” — Finley Cotrone, assistant professor and director of enrollment management at UNLV’s William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration
Remember the bigger picture “Remain connected to the ultimate objectives of the organization. By linking your work to meeting company objectives, your contributions will be more meaningful. It is important to understand how you fit into the bigger picture. Don’t compete with your peers in the organization; focus your energy on winning in the marketplace.” — Micah E. Phillips, executive vice president and marketing director at Nevada State Bank
Self-Promote “Be a self-promoter and a (restrained) cheerleader. You don’t have to go overboard and become narcissistic or self-indulgent in shouting your own praises. But you do need to let people know about why you are such a valuable asset to your employer.” — James Thomas Tucker of law firm Armstrong Teasdale
