Local agencies help refugees take advantage of opportunity By Michael Lyle | SPECIAL TO VEGAS INC
It doesn’t seem like too long ago that education was a dream just out of reach for Lydia Mutoniwase. Growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, she said a combination of her gender, tribe and the fact there was a civil war going on made it impossible to go to school. ¶ After escaping her country and living for years in a Kenyan refugee camp (followed by a lengthy resettlement application), she is now living in Las Vegas and has one thing on her mind: school. refugees, Continued on page 15

VINTAGE VEGAS: A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA AT THE GAS STATION From the 1950s to the 1980s, drivers headed south on the Strip could get a headache cure at a 76 gas station touting “Free Aspirin & Tender Sympathy.” Ken’s Strip Union, 3758 Las Vegas Blvd. South, offered free aspirin distributed in small white envelopes with directions that read: “For best results, take one tablet before entering casino. For financial headache, take two tablets. If pain persists, see your banker.” Pictured here, a couple from San Diego take advantage of the offer as they depart the city June 27, 1980, after a weeklong vacation. The gas station closed its doors in the late 1980s, and the sign was sent to the Neon Museum. Today, a CVS Pharmacy is on the site where the gas station once stood, and it certainly sells aspirin. — REBECCA CLIFFORD-CRUZ

Q&A with Amanda Doyle
In bail bonds business, a compassionate heart and good ears are as a person’s best assets By rebecca clifford-cruz | Staff Writer
Amanda Doyle works in a male-dominated field. The owner of Blondies Bail Bonds, Doyle says people are typically surprised to learn about her line of work but that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Apart from being able to craft an image to stand out from the competition, she says motherly compassion helps her connect with clients in ways others may not be able to. Who are your clients? My customers come from all walks of life, from the person who decides to drink and drive to those committing burglary or home invasion — even a murder charge. Not all of my customers are criminals — you can be arrested for outstanding traffic tickets or unpaid parking tickets. You can even be arrested for jaywalking. There is a stereotype that goes along with jail. My customers are moms, dads, members of the PTA — you name it, I’ve bailed them out. How is a bond calculated? When someone is arrested and taken to jail, they are usually granted a bail amount. A family member or friend, sometimes even the inmate, will call me and arrange bail to be posted. In return, they pay a fee and must have collateral to pay for the bond in the event of a forfeiture. Nevada has a state-mandated amount of 15 percent. Along with that also comes some miscellaneous bond fees paid to the courts. We’ve all heard the term “jumped bail” on television and in movies. Does that really happen? What are the consequences following an incident like that? It happens often, actually. A defendant will decide they’re not going to show up at court. At that point, we try to resolve the issue by contacting him or her, as well as the co-signer. The last result is to arrest the defendant if we can find them. The co-signer is responsible if the defendant doesn’t take care of it. What are the advantages or disadvantages of being a female in the bail bonds industry? Some of the advantages are great intuition and the fact that I’m a mother, so I have that motherly compassion. I treat every call like it’s my family. Most of the calls I get are from

women — the mom, wife or girlfriend — so immediately I make a connection with that person. As a woman, I care more. Most importantly, I listen and I’m patient. A disadvantage is trying to make a name for myself in a male-dominated business. When people hear what I do, I often hear, “Really? I always thought of that being a man’s business.” What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas? The variety of customers I meet daily. The personal relationships I develop. Las Vegas has a nice mix of locals and visitors. What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas? The court system is slow here, and I often wait hours for the system to update — sometimes eight hours. Each
jurisdiction has its own set of rules and, while a case is under review, bail can’t be posted. That time holds me up from conducting business. Because of overcrowding of the jails, they often grant OR’s — release on your own recognizance. It seems like a waste of time and taxpayers’ money to arrest someone, make them go through the process — which is an all-day affair — then release them on an OR. Not to mention the times when I go to post bail and they then tell me they were granted an OR. If the system was updated in a timely manner, I would have known that. It can be frustrating. Another issue with this business is you must be careful who you are bailing out. Tourists often forget they need to come back to Las Vegas to answer to charges. Then I must start the process of hunting them down.
What is your business philosophy? I want to help bridge the gap between the law and my customers. My job is to ease the stress of an unfortunate event and turn it into a positive one. The person in jail and on the other end of the phone is going through enough already. They need to get back to work, handle their children, etc. I make the process as easy and convenient as I can. What’s the best business advice you’ve received? Listen! Listen to what people are saying — they will usually tell you what you need to know, if you ask the right questions. In this business, you meet people who will say anything to get out of jail, so I must always be on my A game.

Salon owners’ combined talents create ‘New York underground beauty parlor’ By rebecca clifford-cruz Staff Writer
Describe your business.
Bazaar Studios fuses a retro beauty parlor and headshot/editorial photography studio. What’s the concept?
We’re trying to create a space where people can just come hang out and have fun and be inspired. Bazaar strives to make a sort of ‘artist compound’ with art, hair and style under one roof. We drew a lot of inspiration from ‘The Factory’ that pop artist Andy Warhol had back in the Village.
Bazaar Studio & Parlor Address: 6201 Dean Martin Drive, Las Vegas Phone: 702-745-4501 Email: bazaarstudioslv@gmail.com Website: bazaarstudioslv.com Hours of operation: Studio is 9 a.m.6 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment Saturday and Sunday; parlor is 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, 9 a.m.7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday Owned/operated by: Jon Rouse and Cory Martin In business since: 2017
Who are your clients?
Bazaar’s clients want healthy, gorgeous, organic hair. They want to see and be seen. We’re a community that appreciates and teaches new trends and classic style to customers and fellow artists. We’re here to make people feel good and feel energized when they leave — whether it’s from a knockout new haircut or color, a makeup spruceup, a complete beauty overhaul or a headshot that looks like it belongs in a magazine spread.
they look and feel their best after we have our team’s hands on them. What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?
The majority of Las Vegas salons are big and over-commercialized. While that makes the competition in the beauty arena steep, we are stepping out to bring back that New York underground beauty parlor feel to a town that craves culture. What is your business philosophy?
Your beauty is our business. Our creed is to welcome all ages, all races, all sexes — to embrace all consumers’ definition of beauty, and enhance each individual’s style. We want to be Las Vegas’ leading parlor-studio concept among professional beauty artists, photographers and consumers. We want to exceed clients’ needs and to provide a secure and challenging work environment for our employees. What’s the best business advice you’ve received?
It all comes down from the top. Taking care of our beauty and industry pros first will trickle down to our guests’ experiences.
What is the best part about doing business in Las Vegas?
Anything else you want to share?
Our favorite part of doing business here is the people who help us create. Everyone who walks through Bazaar’s doors — whether it’s a client or beauty professional — is part of our dream, so they’re treated like family. We love high-end magazine shoots, but it warms our hearts to be able to photograph groups of longtime friends when
Bazaar Studios leads a monthly education series open to all Las Vegas stylists and industry pros. Recently, we led a course on lighting for stylists when they photograph their clients’ hair — to really make sure you highlight the stylist’s hard work, and your client’s new style.

Panels talk Raiders, future of pro sports in Las Vegas By adam candee Staff Writer
Imagine trying to explain last month’s panel discussions on the future of professional sports in Las Vegas even five years ago. Executives from the NFL’s Raiders and NHL’s Golden Knights joined representatives from Las Vegas Motor Speedway, UNLV and the new Las Vegas Lights of the United Soccer League to look forward into the region’s future as a sports hub during a recent luncheon. Then, commercial real estate professionals listened to a morning talk on the fast-approaching start of construction on the $1.9 billion stadium project. “We’re at a tipping point as a marketplace,” Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz said at the meeting of the UNLV Rebel Business Network. “I think we’ve got a really unique opportunity.” The Golden Knights play the first game of a Las Vegas-based majorleague sports franchise this week. While the Raiders will not play here until 2020, Nevada’s $750 million public investment in their stadium will begin taking shape in December. Neither appeared possible even two years ago, but a confluence of influence at the local and state levels led to Las Vegas becoming home to both teams. “That’s been the biggest shock for me,” said Mark Shearer, Raiders senior vice president of business development/chief revenue officer, who recently moved to the valley from the Bay Area. “You see people who should be at odds rolling together because it’s for the greater good of Las Vegas.” A few notes of interest from the two
gatherings: n Agreement delays do not concern stadium authority chairman: Las Vegas Stadium Authority board Chairman Steve Hill said an unplanned delay in completing the stadium development agreement with the Raiders could be a blessing. “That would have been tough,” Hill said. “Just from working through all the issues, working through all the drafts, it would have been tough to meet that October deadline. It does provide some additional time to do that work, because there were going to be some really long nights for folks if the Oct. 12 meeting (required us) to pretty much present everything.” The development agreement now will wait until February, although stadium site work already is happening. That also pushes back other documents, including the UNLV joint-use agreement. In working earlier on the nowcompleted stadium lease agreement, Hill repeatedly pointed to the need for deadlines to spur action in negotiations. He said last month that the removal of the October deadline would not become a problem, citing the need for contractors, banks and the NFL to review agreements before they come before the board early next year. “I think everybody’s aware,” Hill said. “Look, don’t take two months off. It allows us to do it more in the normal course.” n More stadium parking nixed for ride-sharing space: Engineer Ken Ackeret of Kimley-Horn — the firm that produced the heavily discussed Raiders traffic and parking study — said initial plans for the stadium site included more than the 2,400
parking spots in the final version. A chunk of the site along Hacienda Avenue could have added additional stalls, but project planners chose to dedicate that area to Uber and Lyft vehicles shuttling fans to games. Raiders and stadium authority officials repeatedly have asserted their plan incorporates ride-sharing like no previous stadium has. Considering the site includes only 15 percent of the parking spaces required by county code for the 65,000-seat stadium, that decision makes sense. n Speaking of parking … : Attention was focused on Don Webb’s comments about the potentially changing makeup of Raider Nation in Las Vegas, but the Raiders stadium consultant continued to drop hints about how the team would deal with its parking shortage. At previous stadium authority meetings, Webb downplayed the parking issue by saying essentially that the Raiders knew from the start that the 62-acre site for which they paid $77.5 million could not accommodate enough parking. He expounded last month by saying multiple parking locations might provide the best solution. “The whole issue of parking is something to be designed just like the plumbing systems,” Webb said. “The idea of tailgating is going to be dispersed the same way parking is going to be dispersed. I think there’s a really strong argument to be made in favor of dispersed parking in multiple locations.” That does not sound like an endorsement for the Bali Hai Golf Course site. The Kimley-Horn study indicated that land across the freeway from the sta-
dium could fit 13,000 parking spaces. The site is under lease to developer Billy Walters, who recently was convicted on federal insider trading charges and soon will go to prison. Walters also faces a $25 million judgment, while site lessor Clark County must deal with a Department of Justice lawsuit seeking $70 million in underpaid rent. Shearer said the Raiders would lean on local experts for help finding answers, in part because of the challenges of trying to work both in Oakland and in Las Vegas at the same time. “The problem we’ve got is we’re running two businesses essentially,” Shearer said. “There’s the expression ‘drinking from a fire hose’ — that’s what we’re doing.” n Major League Soccer the ultimate soccer GOOOOOOAL?: In the other kind of football, Lights owner Brett Lashbrook offered the most interesting take on the future of Las Vegas sports. Even before his USL team begins play next year, the former MLS executive predicted America’s largest soccer league would call Las Vegas home within the next 10 years. “In 10 years, you’ll look back and laugh at doubting yourself that this would be a soccer city,” Lashbrook said. Lashbrook also hinted at trying to create a situation similar to baseball’s spring training for soccer in Las Vegas, drawing in MLS teams in March to train and prepare for the upcoming season. With college basketball conference tournaments and the opening weekend of March Madness already filling the local sports calendar in that month, adding soccer could provide an interesting alternative for non-hoops fans.
Tariff case moving forward, despite solar industry objections By yvonne gonzalez Staff Writer
A trade case pursuing solar product tariffs is moving forward after a commission found that imports had injured the domestic solar cell industry, a move that opponents say would signal higher prices and fewer jobs. SolarWorld and Suniva are pursuing the rate case with the International Trade Commission. SolarWorld commended the commission’s decision. “On behalf of the entire solar cell and panel manufacturing industry, we
welcome this important step toward securing relief from a surge of imports that has idled and shuttered dozens of factories, leaving thousands of workers without jobs,” Juergen Stein, CEO and president of SolarWorld Americas, said in a statement. “We will strive to help fashion a remedy that will put the U.S. industry as a whole back on a growth path,” Stein said. “We will continue to invite the Solar Energy Industries Association and our industry partners to work on good solutions for the entire industry.”
Opponents of the case, including Gov. Brian Sandoval, have said the tariffs on these products could mean higher costs and fewer jobs. “The requested tariff could inflict a devastating blow on our states’ solar industries and lead to unprecedented job loss, at steep cost to our states’ economies,” says a letter signed by Sandoval and the governors of Colorado, Massachusetts and North Carolina. “According to a study conducted by GTM Research, if granted, the tariff and price floors would cause module
prices to double, leading solar installations — both utility-scale and consumer-installed — to drop by more than 50 percent in 2019.” Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, said the association would continue to pursue a conclusion to protect the solar industry. The finding of damage to the domestic solar cell industry was the first in a three-step process that could last into early next year, when President Donald Trump would have to make a final decision.

MGM’s new ad campaign impresses the experts By thomas moore Staff Writer
The first ad in MGM Resorts International’s massive new “Welcome to the Show” campaign featured cinema-like video of the company’s properties and attractions interspersed with written text such as “Mankind was not born to be bored” and “We invented MGM to entertain the human race.” What it didn’t include was a single sales pitch. But that was no accident. The campaign is built on an abstract approach that, according to advertising experts, is at the forefront of marketing in general and hospitality marketing in particular. Instead of a hard sell, “Welcome to the Show” is designed to spark curiosity about the company among consumers and encourage them to explore its properties. “The idea is if they show you bits of a story, sometimes you’re left with a question and that question itself is enough trigger for you to go on the web and Google it,” said Anjala Krishen, associate professor of marketing and international business at UNLV. “People don’t like being beat over the head. I don’t know that we ever liked it, but especially not in 2017. We want to feel like we’re making a choice.” Krishen said businesses have come to realize that Couples watch the Bellagio fountains show, which runs 26 times a day Monday through Friday, 32 times on telling stories about their brands can be more effec- Saturday and holidays, and 26 times on Sunday.

Local organizations guide refugees in new world “I used to pray I wouldn’t wake up,” Mutoniwase said, remembering her life before she left Congo. “Now, I pray to live. I thank God I’m here.” Her story is similar to many refugees who come to the United States, in that they don’t just want to start a new life in a different city; they want to thrive and work hard to make their dreams come true. “Refugees are probably the most eager group of people,” said Milan Devetak, the director of resettlement, migration and refugee services at Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada. Like Mutoniwase, many seek educational opportunities along the way, which is often made possible with the help of local organizations.

apply for the program right away and can come back to the agency anytime over five years. So far this year, 63 people have received help through the TAG program. “We have some people who take a year or two to improve their English and then try for the program,” he said. Catholic Charities has English language programs for its clients and recommends other resources in the community. Mutoniwase was referred to a high school equivalency course through the Clark County Library District. The Community Adult Learning program helps with basic English and reading — it even has citizenship classes. Younger arrivals can enroll in school with the Clark County School District — an estimated 400 students are refugees, according to the district. However, sometimes they aren’t starting school until they’re older, and language barriers and other obstacles might prevent them from graduating on time. Students on the cusp of adulthood often are referred to the Clark County Adult Education program, which provides additional help with English. Participants are given resources to work toward finishing high school later or obtaining their high school equivalence. The pace of the class is determined by what works best for students, and success is measured by competency rather than attendance. While Catholic Charities helps connect many of its clients to a variety of these resources, Devetak said some refugees go their own route when it comes to enhancing their education or job skills. Mutoniwase, though, said she doesn’t know where she would be without the nonprofit. “I don’t have family here,” she said. “(My caseworkers) are like my mother and father. They are helping me along the way.” Though she said she is adjusting to her work schedule, she continues to go to the library’s program and receives tutoring to improve her English. Once unfathomable, her goal to obtain her GED feels as though it is within reach. And she doesn’t plan to stop there. “After I get it, I want to go to college,” she said. “I either want to study business or something to do with human rights.”
