OUR TAKE: WHAT’S NEXT IN PLETHORA OF MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS? Just 16 months ago, the arrival of a WNBA franchise would have shaken the Las Vegas sports landscape. But recently, the move of the San Antonio Stars to the valley registered but a hearty cheer before local sports fans turned their attention back to the remarkable start of the Golden Knights’ NHL season and an improbable Thursday night comeback victory for the NFL’s Raiders. That takes nothing away from the WNBA or the Stars, who add a key missing piece to the overall offering with the nation’s most recognizable professional women’s sports league. It simply shows how rapidly wellstocked Southern Nevada’s professional sports buffet has become after decades of slim pickings. MGM Resorts International will bring the Stars to the Mandalay Bay Events Center

beginning next summer. The team will join the Las Vegas Lights of the United Soccer League as new entrants to the market next year. And those squads arrive less than two years after the NHL broke the taboo on Las Vegas by awarding an expansion franchise, and the NFL followed by overwhelmingly approving the move of the Raiders to a city it once treated like harsh desert sunlight to a vampire. The Stars’ move only amplifies speculation of a third major-league team started by MGM Resorts CEO Jim Murren, who said a year ago that he was pursuing the relocation of an existing NBA franchise to Las Vegas within five years. To longtime valley residents, the idea of professional basketball in town once seemed implausible. Today? The more the merrier for suddenly sports-rich Las Vegas. —ADAM CANDEE

Q&A with Ellen Spiegel

Learn from tortellini, dumplings and kreplach By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz | Staff writer

Ellen Spiegel is president of Strategems Consulting, a boutique consulting firm specializing in workers’ comp claims services. She also is an assemblywoman representing Henderson, and will be serving on the Legislative Committee on Health Care, Nevada Task Force on Financial Security, Commission on Educational Technology, Nevada Advisory Council on Federal Assistance and Nevada Commission on Aging. “My work on these committees will allow me to continue to make an impact even though the Legislature is not in session and will help me develop policy considerations for the next legislative session,” Spiegel said. You’re a pioneer in online services. Tell us about that and how it helped shape your career. In the late 1980s, I was hired as a product developer by a joint venture of IBM and Sears called Prodigy, which was the first online service with graphics. Because no one had any relevant work experience, Prodigy hired bright, creative people with subject matter experience. We learned the power of teamwork, innovation and communication. I also learned that tremendous results can be achieved by smart, hardworking and energetic people who do not have significant experience in their field and that there is value in being open to hiring nontraditional employees. What’s the most rewarding aspect of public service? I appreciate having the opportunity to effect change and make a difference in people’s lives. I recently spoke with a woman who is expecting her first child. She’s an engineer, wants to feed her newborn breast milk, and expressed concern about pumping in the (mostly male) workplace. She also told me that her best friend (an attorney who also is pregnant) shares her concern. When I told her about my Assembly Bill 113, which requires employers to give nursing mothers breaks and a clean place to pump, she was visibly relieved. That’s one less thing they have to worry about. It’s gratifying to make such a profound impact on so many lives. Do you ever face disadvantages or conflicts of interest being both a small-business owner and a member of the Legislature? Because my firm has only two employees — me and my husband, Bill — doing business with any entity that comes before the Legislature can pose an ethical challenge. Accordingly, I have sought legal counsel, and in one case, sought an opinion from the Ne-

throughout the world, learning how to make various cultures’ comfort foods and showing how so many of our comfort foods are similar. There’s little difference between Italian tortellini, Asian dumplings and Jewish kreplach. We can use food to show our similarities, build bridges between communities and improve relationships.

vada Commission on Ethics before pursuing some business. While we love our Nevada clients, partly because of these challenges and partly because of my business’s target market, we focus marketing efforts outside of Nevada. What is the best business advice you’ve received? When I started working at the Weather Channel, I moved from New York to Atlanta and had to adapt culturally. As a New Yorker, I was blunt and forthright in offering my thoughts, and my Southern colleagues were much more circumspect. My boss suggested I listen for what’s not being said and use that as the basis for my questions. This was great advice, as people are more likely to omit things than lie about them, and asking about things that were not said leads to uncovering answers that need to be heard to make solid decisions. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? Access to health care. We continue to have a provider shortage, and as our population ages and continues to grow, we must increase the num-

ber of medical professionals we have in all fields. We also must find ways to make health care more affordable. For example, over the past decade, my premiums have more than doubled, while coverage has been vastly reduced. My firm (and other companies) cannot raise prices enough to cover the rampant medical inflation, and I am concerned that people will increasingly forgo medical care until they are at a crisis point. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas? I love getting outside to take walks and enjoy Henderson’s many walking paths and trails, particularly those adjacent to the Pittman Wash. I also am quickly becoming an avid Golden Knights fan and enjoy going to see games, whether at T-Mobile Arena or at a team-organized viewing party. What is your dream job outside of your current field? For years, I’ve said I would like to be a contestant on the Food Network’s show “Chopped,” but deep down, I’d really like to have my own television show. It would involve traveling

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? Manhattan, but only if I could live as well as I live here. One of the reasons I love living in the Las Vegas area is that we have many of the advantages of living in a major city — worldclass restaurants, wonderful theater and entertainment, top-flight shopping, plentiful flights (and convenient travel options) — without the congestion and major urban ills of larger cities. I am delighted we have so many livable neighborhoods and amenities for residents, and I especially love how we’ve pulled together as a community. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who complain but are unwilling to take positive action to improve outcomes. My parents would not allow me to complain about something unless I could propose a solution. I was not allowed to propose a solution that I was unwilling to act upon. That upbringing and the values that were instilled in me have made it imperative for me to do what I can to help, even if it only requires a little effort. That’s why instead of complaining about litter in public places, I often pick it up and dispose of it. What is something that people might not know about you? I love to cook, and I’m known for my brisket. During the legislative session, I make brisket for a community-wide Passover Seder in Carson City. Everyone is invited regardless of faith, and this year, there were about 80 attendees.

Caesars executives address plans for land on Strip By thomas moore Staff Writer

Caesars Entertainment executives talked growth and efficiency in their first investors conference since the company emerged from bankruptcy, but also fielded questions from analysts about business on the Strip after the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting. “It’s fair to say we are cautiously optimistic about the rebound and think the occupancy rates across the Strip took a little hit the first day and week,” said Caesars Entertainment President and CEO Mark Frissora. “But every day seems to change and improve. The meeting business is solid. There have been no cancellations for the year. The biggest impact has been in Asian play. It has been less because people in Asia are very respectful of the deaths that have occurred and believe there should be a period of mourning.” The question was just one of many, most about financials and growth opportunities, that Caesars executives addressed during the lengthy presentation. In Las Vegas, Frissora said Caesars had a master plan that would develop 7 acres in front of Caesars Palace, as well as land it owns behind properties on the east side of the Strip and Koval Lane. In addition to the land in front of Caesars Palace, the company owns about 39 acres next to the Linq and about 50 acres next to Bally’s, Paris and Planet Hollywood. CCCU Vegas Inc HP 10-29-2017.indd 1

10/19/17 11:11 AM

The only specific details of the plan Frissora shared were about a convention center the company planned to build behind the Flamingo and Harrah’s. “The convention center is going to be 300,000 square feet,” Frissora said. “It will be very functional; that will host small and midsize meetings. We’re not doing exhibit space.” In response to investors’ questions, other Caesars executives said the center would cost $300 million-$350 million and should be built in two years, depending on permitting and coordination with Caesars’ new board of directors. Frissora also said the company was looking for new ways of expanding the company’s international footprint, licensing the brands of casinos Caesars owns to companies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. “Our brands are powerful and wanted by developers all around the world,” he said. “We’ve never done this before.” Caesars would receive a 16-17 percent management fee from a company wanting to use the brand, Frissora said, and would also probably hold a small equity stake in that company. In some deals, he said, Caesars would receive a percentage of profits after they passed a certain level. Frissora also said Caesars would expand via mergers and acquisitions and also proceed with a South Korean project on the coast of the South China Sea that should be completed in 2020. It also was working to develop projects in Brazil and Japan.

Nevada’s pot tax revenue nearly $5 million in August By chris kudialis Staff Writer

Nevada tax officials say the second month of legal sales of recreational marijuana brought in just under $5 million in tax revenue, up from $3.7 million in its first month. Nevada Tax Department spokeswoman Stephanie Klapstein said the numbers were on pace to meet the state’s expectation of $120 million in state taxes over the next two years. A 15 percent tax on wholesale distribution from cultivators to dispensaries and 10 percent tax on recreational marijuana sales raised $4.86 million in August, up from $3.68 million in July. That money goes to the state’s rainy day fund. The $120 million biennial projection depends on $5 million in monthly tax revenue. Klapstein said officials projected no revenue for July because of uncertainty surrounding licensing, distribution and local ordinances.

State Sen. Tick Segerblom, who championed legislation setting up the framework for Nevada’s recreational cannabis industry in this year’s Legislature, called the numbers “a great start,” adding that tax revenue exceeding state projections was good for public schools. Marred by one of the greatest budget deficits in its 60-year history, the Clark County School District — the fifth-largest in the nation — announced it would cut up to $80 million this school year, primarily through teacher and administrator layoffs. Segerblom said he expected monthly tax revenue to double by the first six months of 2019, and was considering pushing for a special legislative session before then to allocate extra cannabis tax revenue to the state’s debt-ridden schools. “The tax numbers are going to keep growing,” he said. “There’s a lot more where this came from.”

Nevada Grow mines data to help small businesses thrive By mick akers Staff Writer

A pilot program that began in 2015, made permanent by the Nevada Legislature this year, continues to help small businesses grow. Nevada Grow provides small-business owners who are looking to expand with technical assistance and strategic research. Assembly Bill 94, sponsored by Assemblywoman Dina Neal, D-Las Vegas, was signed into law June 8. “Most businesses don’t know what they need,” Neal said. “We do an assessment about what they have going on, what type of business model they have. We tell them about the data and how it could help them figure out who’s in the neighborhood and what the saturation of area is.” This allows business owners to customize their plan to fit what is in demand in their given area, she said. The College of Southern Nevada, the Clark County Business Department, the Urban and Latin Chambers of Commerce and the Nevada Small Business Development Centers in Clark and Washoe counties are program partners. Nevada Grow has subscriptions to

two databases, Esri and Emsi, which cost a total of about $19,000 annually. A geographic information systems specialist mines data to help businesses. Since 2015, the program has helped 43 businesses; at least 25 more have signed up for Nevada Grow since early September. Qualifying businesses must be based in Nevada, have fewer than 50 employees and generate at least $50,000 in annual gross revenue. Company representatives are required to attend training classes, indicate their business needs and provide data to the program’s staff to evaluate. The program also offers peer-learning opportunities and mentoring. Medin Gebrezgier, owner of the sports apparel company Revive Brand Co., credited the program with providing his company the platform to expand. “I needed money to start my business, and I needed money to grow,” Gebrezgier said. “Data … is absolutely crucial. It’s your GPS; it’s your map to everything to make sure you’re successful.” Interested parties can visit CSN’s workforce development site for more information on Nevada Grow.

Haunted attractions continue to innovate costume ball; a zombie survival experience inspired by AMC’s “Fear the Walking Dead”: and a haunted house so scary you have to sell your soul to the devil — in the form of a signed waiver — before being admitted to hell. “We have seen an increase in new events leading up to Halloween,” said Michelle Sharples, president of the Las Vegas Hospitality Association. “The holiday has extended beyond the actual date and created new opportunities for the city, but more importantly, for the people who visit. You see more hotels, businesses and nightlife venues adding themed events to their schedule, which has encouraged more people to visit Las Vegas during the Halloween holiday.” Case in point: the new “Fear the Walking Dead” survival attraction Attendees are encouraged to “display their wild side” at the Fetish and Fantasy downtown, offering an experience Halloween Ball.

Ghost hunter and mob historian Robert George Allen had better luck when he founded Explore Vegas Now in 2004, creating the “Haunted Vegas Tour and Ghost Hunt” as well as other excursions. Owned by magician Adam Flowers since 2016, the company is now known as Vegas Specialty Tours, but the Haunted Vegas Ghost Hunt remains true to its roots. Featuring true accounts of local hauntings and the history of the city’s supernatural side, the three-hour tour begins with a pizza party at Tuscany Suites and Casino, 255 E. Flamingo Road, where visitors receive ghost-hunting equipment such as EMF (electromagnetic field) meters, temperature readers and dowsing rods, before boarding a shuttle to begin their ghostly adventure. Multiple stops include part of a mysterious casino where a celebrity apparition is rumored to roam, as well as two infamous parks known for their ghostly sightings. Learn who haunts the “Motel of Death” on this tour with bookings available year-round, seven days a week. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Feeling naughty? An annual Halloween staple that attracts not only locals but tourists from far and wide is the Fetish & Fantasy Halloween Ball, Oct. 28 at Red Rock Resort for adventurous adults 21 and older. Now in its 22nd year, the gala is a risqué extravaganza with a strict dress code: Guests must wear something evoking fetish or fantasy. Many local nightclubs and other venues on Las Vegas Boulevard also embrace the seasonal spirit, with monster bashes scheduled well past the witching hour and costume contests offering cold hard cash instead of miniature Snickers.

Alisa Nave-Worth

Jason Roth

Where were you when you received your 40 Under 40 award? I had just given birth to my daughter, Sydney, and was knee-deep in bottles, pacifiers and swaddle blankets. Becoming a new mom gave me a fresh perspective on what it meant to be a professional and community member.

Where were you when you received your 40 Under 40 award? In 2010, I was marketing director at University of Southern Nevada, which is now Roseman University of Health Sciences. In 2011, I was promoted to vice president of communications. This month, I celebrated 12 years at Roseman University.

Attorney and shareholder at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck

Vice President of Communications at Roseman University of Health Sciences

Where are you now? I continue to have the privilege of being

What’s your biggest accomplishment since you received the award? Working at a growing institution like Roseman

part of the Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck government affairs team. What’s your biggest accomplishment since you received the award? For the past six years, we have set out to build a practice

that contributes to the community and best serves the broad spectrum of our clients. In the past several years, this has included hosting important conversations such as the dialogue about the role of transportation in Southern Nevada’s future and the importance of Nevada in presidential politics. I’m proud to have been part of these conversations. What do you want to accomplish? I was born and raised in Ne-

ALUMNI

vada and my dream has been to contribute to the major governing issues facing Nevada. I want to build a practice that helps define the future of public policy here. I want to give more than I get from Nevada. Who is your business hero, local or global? My dad is my business hero.

He opened his first animal hospital on the corner of Tropicana and Eastern avenues four decades ago, and to this day, he is the first person to walk into the hospital to open the doors to serve his patients. He has taught me, by example, that hard work and determination are omnipotent. What’s the best advice you can offer? The world is run by those who

show up.

University, I’ve had the opportunity to play a role in many of the university’s major accomplishments. I take pride in having led the successful rebranding of Roseman University of Health Sciences from University of Southern Nevada, creating a stronger, more distinct and more recognizable identity for the region’s only homegrown private, nonprofit university. I’m also proud of my close collaboration with our College of Pharmacy and local law enforcement to establish the first drug take-back events in Southern Nevada, which help keep expired and unused prescription and over-the-counter drugs out of the wrong hands and prevent drug misuse and abuse, particularly among youth.

Who is your business hero, local or global? I’m a fan of Elon Musk. He

is a true visionary, with bold and often crazy ideas that challenge us to innovate. Many of his endeavors are transformational and have the potential to greatly change the way we live. If you ran Las Vegas, what’s the first thing you would do? I would take a serious look at our transportation needs and explore new mass transit opportunities, such as light rail, to move people around more efficiently. This is especially important as we continue to work toward a more diversified economy and attract new companies to our region.
