Q&A with Mary Thompson
Brokerage president: Every day, be a little better In the ’70s, when she first entered the industry, Mary Thompson was delivering mail to the CEO of a major insurance company where she worked, and told him he’d made a mistake. “I told him I was smart and he could have me do more work and pay me the same,” said Thompson. “The next day, my position was changed and new opportunities were created.” Today, Thompson is president of Capstone Brokerage, a risk management, insurance and employee benefits firm that recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. What is the best business advice you’ve received? Never stop learning and never say “try.” Always have an “I can” approach. When you believe in yourself and the purpose in which you have been given, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. Knowing what you don’t know is the foundation to becoming a better person. If you learn something new every day, you will magnify your own potential. Never pretend to know something. People appreciate honesty, and you will gain respect by being forthright. Do the research and respond promptly with what you have learned. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what Mary Thompson stresses accountability and honesty to her employees, and says would it be? showing vulnerability can help create a healthy work environment.

He gave me my foundation through his actions and simple words. As a result of the foundation my dad set, my defined answer is: anyone who is consciously working on being a better person every day. What is your biggest pet peeve? Blame and defending one’s mistakes. I recently challenged myself to look at every situation that I found myself in where I or other people were defending actions or lack of action. I uncovered that in every situation, it was a futile redirection of the facts. Every scenario was a diversion of acknowledgement of the mistake itself. It would be easier to admit the wrongdoing rather than defend it. I recognized that we look stupid when defending mistakes and should just admit our part. What a great test of reality! Never point a finger at anyone because there are more pointing back at you. Ownership of one’s mistakes builds character and, most importantly, trust. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My desire to help others comes from my heart and, occasionally, I put positive energy into negative results. I am always looking for ways to help people recognize their own potential and opportunities to grow, but sometimes people just want to stay right where they are. I tend to put others first and forget that I have nothing to give unless I take care of myself. What is something that people might not know about you? I love to dance. I learned how to dance from my parents, and I dance at every opportunity. I never had any formal dance training but found myself as an instructor as a young adult. I have taught my children and grandchildren to have the confidence to express themselves through love of music and power of dance.

‘Simplicity is key, but we won’t cut corners’ The transient population and culture can sometimes be a challenge, especially when it comes to hiring.
By vegas inc staff
Emily Palmer found her inspiration in France, and has brought the everyday French experience to the Las Vegas Valley — the quaint, cozy and welcoming version of casual dining, not the haughty caricature many assume such cafés to be.
What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas?
Again, our transient population. I have always loved the diversity of cultures in Las Vegas. It is a virtual melting pot of the most colorful personalities. I feel so lucky every day to meet, serve and develop friendships with our guests, and the local community.
Describe your business.
Le Petit Café & Bakery is an offStrip, locally owned and operated company inspired and influenced by French culture and cuisine. We serve a variety of food and decadent desserts, always using fresh and seasonal ingredients. Popular choices include our pastries, sandwiches, crêpes and quiche. We offer dine-in, carry-out or delivery through Eat24. We encourage our guests to take their time, relax and enjoy the ambiance we have created. Who are your customers?
Initially, we opened our doors to the surrounding medical district staff and their customers, who have all been incredibly supportive. We quickly became a favorite among our regular locals. Now, we are proud to say we have returning customers from all over the valley — from Henderson and Pahrump and Mount Charleston. Tourists and local businesses on the Strip also seek us out. The majority of our new customers discovered us through Yelp, or word of mouth. What is your business philosophy?
Our business philosophy is to remain true to the food we serve (fromscratch cooking and seasonality) and
What obstacles has your business overcome?
ity is key, but we won’t cut corners. For this reason, my staff is elite and properly trained, and we have our ovens and work stations in the front of the store, so we can get to know our guests as we work.
Reaching our first milestone of six months in business was a challenge. The first few months were a huge learning curve for our entire team. Until that point, our day-to-day business could be unpredictable. Amazingly once we got over the sixmonth hurdle, business became more regular and predictable. We are now looking forward to celebrating our first year in August.
What’s the most important part of your job?
How can Nevada improve its business climate?
It is my team. Great people are the foundation to a happy and successful company. We are a family business, and all of our team members are considered part of our extended family. True to the nature of our diverse city, we employ people from all walks of life. Our small café family consists of five different nationalities. We celebrate diversity and equal opportunity in every way.
As an off-Strip business, I fully endorse the recent media campaign aimed at our locals. Yes, we are a tourist city. But we are also rapidly developing and expanding, thanks to our local community, some of whom have been here for many generations. Just as businesses on the Strip rely on our tourists, off-Strip businesses rely on our supportive locals, and understand the importance of cultivating strong relationships within our community.

Raiders turn attention to traffic, parking issues By Adam Candee Staff Writer
The sale closed but the process just started. Securing what most call the Russell Road site for $77.5 million does nothing to change the stadium plans already set into motion by the Raiders. The high-impact study, started weeks ago on the 62-acre parcel just west of the Strip, hums along as it did before this month’s closing of the sale to the NFL franchise by Nevada Land Group LLC. While the land purchase brings the Las Vegas Raiders a major step closer to once-implausible reality, the findings of that study and a required site approval by the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board still offer a small amount of pause. “The Raiders had their eyes on this (land) since the beginning,” Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said. “(They) realize there are a lot of problems left to resolve, including traffic, ingress-egress, and particularly parking.” This week’s meeting of the stadium authority will focus on those issues as county staff report to the board on progress. Chairman Steve Hill wants the board to address questions about the study now, long before a self-imposed September deadline for approving the site as one of a dozen agreements needed to break ground on the $1.9 billion stadium. “We do have to go through that (approval) process and we do have to make sure that it’s an approvable site,” Hill said. “We’ll work to make that happen. We’re not going to stick them with 62 acres of land unnecessarily.” Within that process, the Raiders will transfer the land to the stadium authority at no cost and the public entity will own it. The Raiders will lease the facility for free and operate its events through a separate company contracted by the franchise, keeping any profits. Once the team puts up the initial $100 million for construction, it can access the first dollars of the $750 million public contribution toward the 65,000-seat domed facility. A planned 32-month building schedule starting in December would allow the stadium to open in time for the 2020 NFL season, when the Raiders will begin playing in Las Vegas. “It’s an immediate boon to the construction industry, so there’s those types of jobs,” said John Knott, executive vice president with CBRE in Las Vegas. “More importantly, we’re an NFL city now, and an NFL city garners worldwide attention.” Knott first presented the Russell Road site and two others in his firm’s portfolio — 110 acres in the southwest valley and 60 acres east of the Strip at Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane — to Raiders owner Mark Davis in July. While the Southern Nevada Tourism and Infrastructure Committee considered the public contribution to the project, Raiders President Marc Badain
quickly responded to indicate Davis’ interest in Russell Road. Knott confirmed an initial $100 million asking price for the parcel, a cost intended to eliminate speculative bidders that a $50 million tag might have attracted. The Raiders agreed on to a deal giving them to option to purchase the land Aug. 25, at a sale price that equates to $1.25 million per acre. “It’s a fair deal for both parties,” Knott said. Nevada Land Group LLC shows through the Nevada Secretary of State as a group of financial companies including Barclays Bank and Credit Suisse. LV Stadium Company LLC purchased the land. Recent NFL stadium projects required similar land acquisitions. The Minnesota Vikings opened U.S. Bank Stadium last year after spending close to $60 million in 2007 to acquire necessary land and right-of-way in downtown Minneapolis. This season, the Atlanta Falcons will christen Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which required the purchase of two nearby churches at a cost of $34 million in 2013. In Las Vegas, proximity to the Strip drove much of the Raiders’ interest in Russell Road. It will allow close access for tourists attending events at the facility and will increase its potential appeal to companies interested in the exposure of acquiring the naming rights to the facility. Those naming rights could generate $50 million to $75 million toward the team’s anticipated $500 million contribution to the stadium, which also will receive $750 million in taxpayer funding through an increased hotel room tax. The Raiders also like the site’s nearby access to Interstate 15 for moving fans in and out of the area, something Knott knew would appeal to local officials and the Raiders. “It has to go on the freeway,” Knott said. “All the other locations were like, ‘Really, what are you thinking here?’ ” The state plans hundreds of millions of dollars in transportation upgrades to the area that could help alleviate expected congestion caused by traffic around the facility, though some of the improvements were placed in the pipeline before the Raiders’ move became a possibility. These include reconfiguring the Tropicana Avenue interchange at I-15 and constructing direct-access ramps connecting a new carpool lane on I-15 to Harmon and Hacienda avenues. Sisolak and Hill have said parking would be an issue with the site, as its current footprint might struggle to accommodate the number of cars expected for a football sellout. Sisolak said options such as satellite lots and parking structures might be considered, although neither would allow for the game-day tailgating atmosphere that Raiders officials want to establish. Raiders officials did not respond to requests for comment on the sale.
NBA watching, but not jumping into Las Vegas market By adam candee Staff Writer
The first major league to play regular-season games in Las Vegas does not plan to do so again anytime soon. Mark Tatum, deputy commissioner of the NBA, said the league does not intend to follow the NHL or the NFL into the desert just yet. “The short-term answer is no,” Tatum said during a session at the National Association of Broadcasters convention at the Las Vegas Convention Center. “We’re not in expansion mode right now.” Tatum said the NBA would watch closely to see how the Vegas Golden Knights and Las Vegas Raiders fare as the first Southern Nevada entrants in the four major pro sports leagues. “Oh, sure, I think it’s a fascinating story to see,” Tatum said. “Two leagues come in now with two franchises in this market. There’s been so much discussion over the past several years about (whether) Las Vegas (could) sustain a professional franchise. Now we’re going to find out.” Asked what measures the NBA would track in evaluating Las Vegas as a viable market, Tatum pointed to two. “One is, can they fill the buildings?” Tatum said. “So are there enough fans? In the case of hockey, you have 41 regular-season games, which is what we would have to have as well. Is there corporate support, and is that support ongoing? Those are some of the things we would look at.” Expansion might not be the only option, though. MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren said in a recent interview that he wants to attract an existing NBA franchise to Las Vegas. “It wouldn’t be an expansion team,” Murren told KNPR’s “State of Nevada” in October. “It would most likely be relocation of a team.” The NBA embraced Las Vegas more than any other major league in the past. The Utah Jazz played regular-season games at the Thomas & Mack Center in the mid-1980s, including the game in which Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke the career scoring record. The Los Angeles Lakers also held a playoff game in the arena in 1992 in a game moved because of riots in Los Angeles. The NBA also has hosted its Summer League at the Thomas & Mack and Cox Pavilion since 2004, and staged its all-star game in Las Vegas in 2007. Tatum also discussed the league’s progressive attitude toward gambling, as expressed in recent years by Commissioner Adam Silver. “One of the recognitions we had is that, it’s happening,” Tatum said. “All you have to do is go onto any website, just type ‘bet NBA, bet NFL.’ Hundreds of billions of dollars are being bet annually on games, so ... we said let’s get federal and national regulation on this to bring it into the sunlight.” Tatum said the NBA talks to the English Premier League and other professional outfits to understand how they deal with gambling.

Greg Shannon, the product manager at Retro Manufacturing, displays some original faceplates to classic cars that will be used as a base for a new design. At right, stacks of various vintage car stereos are on hand to help Shannon re-create modern systems to fit older vehicles. (christopher devargas/staff) classic car r a d i os, from page 1
Owner says recession barely dented business the Bluetooth of your iPhone. Thanks to Retro Manufacturing, it’s possible. Listening to the radio is such an essential part of driving a car, and no more need be the days of endlessly twisting nobs, combing through the airwaves in search of an audible AM radio station with a bearable amount of static. Retro Manufacturing, based in Henderson, is the world’s largest manufacturer of shafted radios for classic cars. The company, founded nearly 10 years ago in Chino, Calif., moved here in October of 2013 because of the state’s lower taxes. Its custom stereos and speakers are near-replicas with an array of modern features. The company sells three models (priced at $199, $299 and $399) ranging in features from auxiliary input to Bluetooth capabilities and SiriusXM radio. It also sells custom-fit speakers, amps and subwoofers. “People want what they want,” said owner and CEO Steve Harrington. “They want to listen to what they want to listen to, and that’s part of their driving experience. We cater to really picky people.” While some classic car owners wouldn’t dare put a non-original part in their vehicle, Harrington said most want the classic look with today’s parts. “When I first started, people were telling me to just build the replica radios and that people don’t care about the features,” Harrington said. “I’m
making cars safer is also part of the mission
Retro Manufacturing sells its audio equipment under the name Retro Sound. While that’s where they make the bulk of their sales, they also have a smaller offshoot, Retro Belts, which provides custom seat belts for classic cars. “We find a way to make a car as safe as you can make it, whether it just be a lap belt or if we can put a 3-point belt in a car that originally didn’t have one,” owner and CEO Steve Harrington said. Retro Belts provides all types and colors of seat belts, once again bringing modern technology to classic cars. — Jesse Gran g er

like, ‘No, I care about music. I want to be able to stream the music that I want to listen to. I like Squeeze and Joe Jackson, and they aren’t playing that on the radio.’ And I know there are people out there like me.” Apparently there are a lot of people like Harrington, who said Retro Manufacturing ships out between 100400 orders every day, thousands per month. And more than 25 percent of the company’s sales are international. Retro Manufacturing ships to more
than 20 countries, including Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, Australia, Thailand and South Korea. People love their cars enough to make the business nearly recessionproof, Harrington said. “When the recession hit, we slowed down sales for maybe a few days, but then I started getting calls from people all over the world, saying they don’t care what happens with the economy, they are going to finish their car,” he said. Harrington said his company had grown by double digits in percentage of sales each year since opening 10 years ago, and at least 30 percent every year since 2015. “It blew up the second I started it, but I kind of knew it would because I’m a car guy and I was in the audio industry,” said Harrington, who worked in various car stereo shops throughout high school and college. Every custom stereo starts with a phone call or online order. “I’ll get a call from someone saying
they want a stereo for their Plymouth Barracuda,” said product manager Greg Shannon, who turns his concept drawings on napkins into stylish car dashes. “If we’ve never made a stereo for that car before, I’ll go buy an old one, bring it to the warehouse and start cutting it up. Then I design a stereo that fits in it and send that design out.” All of the design is done in-house. The parts are made at various locations and shipped to Asia to be constructed. Retro Manufacturing doesn’t install the radios, but Harrington said probably 70 percent of the customers want to install it themselves anyway. Every so often, Harrington stumbles across his products at car shows. “I went to the retro car show in France and there must have been a billion dollars’ worth of cars,” Harrington said. “There were seven Bugattis there. There was an Aston Martin collection, and these cars were probably $100,000 to $5 million. I looked inside and three of them had our radios in them. After that, I can die happy. That’s what we try to achieve.” Shannon has been with Retro Manufacturing for three years and enjoys turning classic relics into modern works of art. “It’s really cool to be part of the creative process,” Shannon said. “There’s a little personal joy when I see a car with a radio that I designed. It’s pretty cool to know that thing you worked on is in the dash of some really cool car.”

Don’t seek greener pastures — water the grass in your town
S
ome call it human capital flight. Others call it brain drain. However it’s described, the phenomenon typically leaves poor countries or small towns on the losing end of the bargain, with the best and brightest young talents moving on to seek the greatest opportunities. Las Vegas is not a small town, but it has particular disadvantages that both cause and amplify the void. The struggling public education system, for one. But more than that, the lack of economic diversity throughout the state means we inevitably lose great minds that don’t fit into established industries. Even if they fit, they don’t always feel a connection to the place. One of the organizations working to build connections is the Las Vegas Business Academy, which provides financial aid and a network of mentors to graduate students. The motto is “finis origine pendet,” meaning “the end depends on the beginning.” While it refers to academic achievement depending on the educational journey, it seems like a
edented growth and diversification. For the young professional, Las Vegas is a desert oasis for opportunity.” — Steven Brody

fancy way of saying that those who find support in Las Vegas have a much better chance of staying here. Four scholarship students in the class of 2017 shared why they plan to stay and invest in their city: “Las Vegas is a city of visionaries. We are surrounded by the best of the best — people fueled by passion who appreciate the value of hard work. We are also a beautifully diverse city. Coming up through the Clark County School District taught me to celebrate
our differences, which will strengthen my ability to practice law. Las Vegas’ opportunities are vibrant, and I love the idea of being able to give back to the city that raised me.” — Mackenzie Warren “From my first visit to Las Vegas as a 6-year-old, I was immediately drawn to the city’s distinct characteristics — the lights, the sound, the pace. From that first trip, I knew this was where I wanted to be. I was fortunate to move to Las Vegas during a time of unprec-
“My choice was simple: It’s home. Yet, at the same time, home means that I live in an ever-changing city, with beautiful people, food and culture. This blend, coupled with our city’s energy, is rivaled by few places in the world. Las Vegas is at the epicenter of something special, and there is no way I could reconcile not being a part of it.” — Michael Matzke “My family, friends, memories and opportunities are here. Las Vegas is built on dreams, innovation and hard work, which has set the model for how I approach everything in my life. Las Vegas has set a precedent for success that I strive for, and I am excited to grow my career as the city continues to grow. I am proud to be from Las Vegas, and I hope to make my city proud.” — Caitlin Lorelli
