VINTAGE VEGAS: SANDS BECOMES DUST TO MAKE WAY FOR VENETIAN Opened in 1952, the 200-room Sands hotel was a popular hangout for Las Vegas entertainers, including Wayne Newton, Jimmy Durante and members of the Rat Pack. By 1965, the property had added a 500-room tower. Pictured here is an exterior shot of the hotel on May 17, 1983.
The Sands had been owned by many business giants, including Howard Hughes and Kirk Kerkorian, before it was acquired by Sheldon Adelson in 1988. It was imploded Nov. 26, 1996, to make way for the $1.5 billion Venetian. — REBECCA CLIFFORD-CRUZ

Q&A with tom andrulis
CEO of IT company: ‘Losing my job was the best thing that ever happened to me’ Nevada native Tom Andrulis is CEO of Intelligent Technical Solutions, an independent IT company that launched in 2003 and has consistently grown. A recent merger with Proactive Networks of Southern California expanded the company’s reach into Los Angeles. How did you transition your personal technical skills into starting your own business? I toyed with the idea of starting a business in my early 20s but was too content with my job to quit. For better or worse, the company I was working for closed its Las Vegas branch, and I had to move to California if I wanted to stay with the company, or take a severance. Like any Las Vegas native would do, I rolled the dice and opted for the severance package, even though I didn’t know what I was going to do. At the time, one of my friends was doing computer consulting for a handful of businesses. Although able Tom Andrulis, CEO of Intelligent Technical Solutions, said his company has grown to fix common problems, he struggled 159 percent over the past three years. He aims to double the size the next three to with more complex technical issues, five years. (L.E.

Westwood Studios, I noticed a server with a broken fan. I got the bright idea to stick my magnetic office front door key through the slats of the power supply to see if I could turn the fan manually. Immediately, huge sparks flew all over the place, scaring the crap out of me, and the server shut down. Luckily, I wasn’t hurt, although I did have to explain to my boss why one of our servers went down and my office key melted. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Being a couple of inches shorter would sure help me find clothes and fit into cars a little better. Being super tall isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. What is something that people might not know about you? I won a car giving a speech to 700 people in a contest, despite being deathly afraid of public speaking. Stressed out, I got sick for two months leading up to the speech. I still shudder when I imagine myself standing on that stage. To what do you attribute your success? First, to our constant development and optimization of systems; and second, to hiring people who believe in continual improvement. When we find people who fit our organization, we place them in roles that match their natural skill sets and give them the autonomy to manage the complexity of an ever-growing business. Continual improvement is essential for anyone who wants to tackle the challenges of an evolving company. What are your opinions on encryption? As we store more and more of our lives in a digital format, encryption is a necessary tool to keep our information safe. Like any tool, we can use it for good or evil, but I think the net value outweighs the risks.

Ivan Phillips owns Wine and Canvas, a paint-and-sip studio that encourages clients to relax, enjoy themselves and discover their inner artist. (l.E. baskow/staff)
In Vegas, every night is Saturday night Describe your business.
Wine and Canvas is a locally owned paint and sip studio that combines the love of creating a piece of art with a relaxing drink or two. Enthusiastic and local artists guide our guests step-by-step through a painting, in a fun, nopressure environment.
Wine and Canvas Address: 730 W. Sunset Road, Henderson Phone: 702-551-4251 Email: ivan@wineandcanvas.com Website: wineandcanvas.com Hours of operation: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily Owned/operated by: Ivan and Jennifer Phillips In business since: 2015
a paint-and-sip business. When I first heard about the concept, I wasn’t even sure it would be something people would want to do. Once I did it myself and realized how much fun it is, I saw the huge potential, and have now been telling all my friends back in England to open their open paintand-sip studios.
What is the best part about doing business here?
Every night of the week in Vegas feels like a Saturday night. With people working different hours and days, compared with other cities, we don’t have to wait until the weekend to get people out of their homes and in front of an easel. You purchased Wine and Canvas last year; what motivated you to own this type of business?
This business combines everything I love: art appreciation, entertainment and an ever-changing, fun, challenging environment. No night is ever the same, and this is what keeps it such a fun business to run.
How often do people surprise you with their paintings?
Every single night. We often have people walk in who have not even picked up a paint brush since high school, and yet they surprise themselves, and us, with what they are able to produce. A lot of people have hidden art talents, and they don’t even realize it. Tell us your favorite story from Wine and Canvas since acquiring it.
What makes the combination of wine tasting and creating art so appealing? Why has this industry grown so rapidly?
The marriage proposals are my favorite — it’s not every day you can be involved in that kind of magic first-hand without buying the ring. We regularly have guests paint a special “Will you marry me?” painting. The cheers, happy tears and celebrating that follow make me realize what a huge privilege it is that Wine and Canvas can be involved in that special moment.
People enjoy that it’s a social environment that isn’t a bar, a restaurant or a movie theater. It’s perfect for a date night, girls’ night out, family event, or even to just come solo.
Have you ever received criticism from traditional fine artists? What would your response be to someone who’s hard on this type of art?
Being from England, did you have exposure to paint-and-sip companies? Or is this more of an American thing?
Before I came to America, I had never heard of or seen
No, I haven’t had that kind of criticism. I don’t believe I ever would, either; attending our events generally gives everyone a higher level of appreciation for art, which can lead them to wanting to purchase more art for their own homes.

State’s biggest casinos end string of losses By thomas moore Staff Writer
The state’s gaming industry is reaching pre-recession levels of income, according to the annual Nevada Gaming Abstract, a comprehensive review of the industry’s financial results. “We all know things (in the economy) are improving, and it’s kind of widespread across the state,” said Michael Lawton, a senior research analyst with the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Tax and License Division. “I was a bit surprised because I thought there might be one area that wouldn’t record net income, but they all did. And that hasn’t happened since 2006.” The biggest casinos (the 273 gaming venues that grossed $1 million or more in revenue in 2016) generated $979 million, compared with the 2015 fiscal year’s net loss of $662 million, according to the Nevada Gaming Control Board. “This ends a streak of seven straight losses,” Lawton said. “The last time we saw income was fiscal year 2008.”
revenue sources For casinos grossing $1 million or more: 2016 n Gaming, 42.6 percent n Rooms, 23.1 percent n Food, 15.3 percent n Beverage, 6.9 percent n Other, 12.1 percent 2015 n Gaming, 43.2 percent n Rooms, 22 percent n Food, 15.3 percent n Beverage, 7 percent

“Total revenue generated in all departments was $25.2 billion compared with 24.6 billion last year,” Lawton said. “That’s an increase of 2.6 percent, or a $643.5 million increase from the previous year.” Lawton said people are gambling more, but the positive numbers can be attributed in part to better results from nongaming sources.
“Gaming revenue has increased five of the past six years,” Lawton said. “But it still remains well below peak levels. In fact, it’s 13.8 percent below the peak levels recorded in fiscal year 2007, while room revenue is at an alltime high. We have recorded records for room revenue in three consecutive fiscal years.” More specifically, according to the abstract, gambling revenue made less for casinos in 2016 — 42.6 percent of
their overall revenue, compared with 43.2 percent the previous year. But money from hotel rooms added slightly more — 23.1 percent compared with 2015’s 22 percent — while the percentage of revenue from food sales remained the same, at 15.3 percent. And while casinos made more money, they also managed to reduce their costs. “On the expense side, total expenses decreased by 7.7 percent, or $831 million,” Lawton said. Some significant cuts made were in interest expenses, which decreased by 20 percent from 2015; general and administrative expenses, which decreased by 17.2 percent; and officer payrolls, which decreased by 21.9 percent. Because these 273 casinos did better, the state did better. Nevada made $822 million in gaming taxes and fees, or 7.6 percent of gaming revenue. In 2015, when there were 271 casinos grossing $1 million or more, Nevada made $810 million from gaming taxes.

create the content, and we have to compete with free. How are we going recoup our costs? It’s very difficult. But the industry is on an upswing, and content production is on the rise. It’s a great time for the industry. When would you say the industry hit its low point? It really started to fall in 2008. It coincided with the financial crisis, the Great Recession. Everybody thought that porn wouldn’t get hit, because we didn’t think anyone was going to give up porn. But it did get hit. As the economy started to go back up, the piracy problem also started to go back up. It was just kind of like a perfect storm. The years 2008, 2009 and 2010 were difficult. We’ve heard a lot about virtual reality and saw at least five companies showing off VR porn products. We’re still waiting to see what becomes of it, how people start to monetize it and make it successful. It’s still in its infancy, but it’s definitely here to stay. Is there any reason to think there’s still going to be major industry growth in Las Vegas? Defeating Prop 60 is something that we’re very proud of as an industry.

Goodman talks health care, education, transportation, security, sports and more in State of the City address By chris kudialis Staff Writer
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman delivered her sixth State of the City address this month to a full house of about 500 spectators and media members at City Hall, focusing on public safety, health care, reducing Las Vegas’ homeless population, improving education and attracting a major league sports franchise. “Safety has been a priority,” Goodman said during an hourlong speech after pledging to support law enforcement and work “proactively” for local fire and rescue teams.

producers who were ready to move to Vegas because they had no choice — they have to be able to produce their content. They were ready to go, and there was shock when Prop 60 was defeated. The girls who were just like, “So we don’t have to move?” They were pleasantly surprised. The California industry is ramping up again; people are not moving. Does having all of the other conventions in town affect you, either for better or for worse? It’s definitely good for us. We love having people from other conventions take a little time off and en-
joy the show. They love it when they find out their convention is coinciding with our expo. They sneak away and they’re super excited. Is the industry holding its breath as Donald Trump takes office? It’s really hard to go beyond speculation with the Trump administration. He has always been a very good supporter of our industry. He loves porn stars, and there are tons and tons of pictures of him out with girls. He’s no stranger to the adult industry, so it’s certainly hypocritical to hear that he’s in support of anti-porn legislation.
she said. The mayor called on the Legislature to help solve the problem. “We are failing here attracting and retaining the best,” Goodman said. “Our Legislature is responsible for setting Medicaid rates, and they have a chance to do so this session.” “If not, it’s ‘Where do you go for treatment? I go to the airport,’ ” she added, reiterating an old joke at the expense of the valley’s health care system. “It’s time we did something.” Goodman also criticized the “recycling” of mentally ill and homeless people who commit crimes, “are taken to a hospital or jail, medicated for 48 hours, and thrown back into society” without any plans for long-term care. She proposed transforming a Clark County School District building in Jean, currently used for storage, into a medical and psychological training facility. Doing so would save taxpayer dollars currently used to arrest, house and treat such patients in Las Vegas hospitals and jails, Goodman said. “This is a growing, uphill battle,” she said. “There needs to be more done for the mentally ill, and it’s time to change direction.” The mayor said poor ratings for schools Clark County and across the state were an “ongoing failure.” She said the current model that sets aside $5,200 per student in Nevada was “appalling,” and suggested an additional $7,000 per student would be needed to raise the state’s education to nationally competitive levels. “We need to have more AP and IB programs, we need more music, more art and more athletics,” Goodman said. “No company will come to Southern Nevada and find it an attractive place to do business unless we fix this.”
Based on who he has appointed to his cabinet, it has definitely been far right. We’re bracing for a rough four to eight years. It’s typical when we get Republicans in office there have been increases in obscenity prosecutions and just tighter reins on our industry. When we have a Democratic administration, we’re left alone and freedom of speech prevails, as it should. We’re just going to hunker down and see what happens. I’ll give Trump the benefit of the doubt. What if he’s an actually a good president? Everything we’ve seen thus far isn’t making it look that way, but I’m going to sit back and give him a fair chance.
Life is full of surprises. The bumps, breaks, sneezes and wheezes can come out of nowhere. When things get you down, get up. Get in. Get out.
Get better. Quick.

Schools embrace teaching entrepreneurship bean salad and other ethnic dishes to sell to Whole Foods. His grandmother’s culinary rule is a cornerstone of his 4-year-old business. “We take hours prepping vegetables all by hand,” he said. Mazmanyan, who graduated in May, started Mezze Foods as a UNLV freshman, part of a nationwide trend of students launching startups while in college. TechCrunch recently reflected on “the social revolution” of Google, Facebook and other giants starting in dorm rooms. “In the past decade, the proliferation of youth-centric startups prevails — and even flourishes,” the report says. “A constantly increasing 54 percent of millennials desire to start a business, according to the Kauffman Foundation, and the number of new business owners under 34 increases by more than 300,000 each month.” To accommodate this pattern, universities and colleges across the U.S. have added a significant number of entrepreneurship programs. Kauffman Foundation data show that in 1975, educational institutions offered about 100 majors, minors and certificates in entrepreneurship; by 2008, that number had exploded to 5,000 and is still growing. Nevada State College introduced a course, Entrepreneurial Preparation, in 2015. At UNLV, students can major or minor in the subject, a far cry from the single course offered in 1997. It also has a 10-year-old Center for Entrepreneurship, an administrative unit that aims to help students and staff interested in opening a company. BEHIND THE TREND Theories about students’ eagerness to launch businesses inevitably nod to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Zappos’ Tony Hsieh, who both started companies in their early 20s. Then there’s the classic reason: wanting to be your own boss. “Entrepreneurship puts you in the driver’s seat, so you don’t have to worry about a company downsizing or having to move away to follow your company,” said Janet Runge, who taught UNLV’s first class on entrepreneurship and now is associate director of the center. “You can take advantage of what’s out there, and you have the power to do whatever you want to do. I think that’s a powerful position to be in.” Millennial habits in the workforce aren’t just about the pursuit of inde-

“It’s great to learn about things while you’re in class, but to actually experience it and work through some of the problems described in a textbook is a valuable experience. It’s certainly been valuable for me.” — James Lutz, a UNLV student whose startup aims to help market and sell a pre-screening device for diabetics
pendence. Compared with previous generations, millennials are much more likely to change jobs a number of times rather than stay loyal to one company. Their mission is to make an impact, and oftentimes they are unwilling to compromise. “A lot of students today have a desire to pursue things that they enjoy, and a lot of those things are outside the corporate environment,” said Leith Martin, director of the Center for Entrepreneurship. Undergraduates and graduates in Las Vegas, he said, are more likely to take the risk of starting a business. After all, this is a gambling town. WHAT THIS MEANs FOR SOUTHERN NEVADA Local politicians and higher education officials have long pushed to diversify the economy, a talking point emphasized after the recession. As dependence on the hospitality industry has loosened, startups have taken advantage, including Dronesmith Technologies (formerly Skyworks Aerial Systems), founded by UNLV alumni. The drone market is one of many industries that could flourish in the
area, Martin said, pointing to developments in battery and water technology and e-sports. These possibilities and the expansion of entrepreneurship programs may convince students to invest in a future right where they are. Too often, talented graduates flock to competing states and other countries instead of investing in Las Vegas’ professional landscape. “There aren’t many cities that have as much potential,” Martin said. Local colleges have another unique characteristic that might motivate young entrepreneurs — hundreds of nontraditional students. The average age of students in UNLV’s Lee Business School is 26, according to Martin. “Individuals are older and have worked already,” he said. “That provides them with some initiative to do something different than a servicebased job (that could) provide them with a different lifestyle.” DRAWBACKS AND BENEFITS Of course, starting a business is no easy endeavor. First-timers are more likely to fail, and even if they stay afloat in the first year, owners often wait longer before paying themselves a salary.
For student entrepreneurs, the risks are even higher because of their inexperience. Young aspiring employers also are likely to have student loans, which could drain financial resources they’d otherwise put toward their companies. Nontraditional students, on the other hand, tend to come equipped with work experience and money to funnel into a business. “They’ve worked at places and know what’s going on,” said Nevada State College assistant professor of business John Laurie. “They see what’s needed in the market.” Still, there are work-arounds for younger business owners, thanks partly to technology. Runge said that while students may have loans, they could use crowdfunding websites to raise funds. And they should take advantage of free advice while they can. “Once you’re out in the world, a lot of advisers want a small piece of the company or access to the company,” said James Lutz, a UNLV student whose startup aims to help market and sell a pre-screening device for diabetics created by university professors. “It is a great resource because professors are willing to help students.” Stuart Davis, a business owner of Delta Video Production and a junior at NSC, said student entrepreneurs also can (and should) start networking early, which could help their business grow. “The best thing to do is to surround yourself with intelligent and experienced people,” Davis said. “School is a great way to find that.” Local students and professors agree that one of the biggest gains for student entrepreneurs is the chance to complement what they learn in the classroom with the experience and knowledge they develop as business owners. “It’s great to learn about things while you’re in class, but to actually experience it and work through some of the problems described in a textbook is a valuable experience,” Lutz said. “It’s certainly been valuable for me.” But perhaps the greatest benefit of all is a privilege that plenty of graduates nowadays don’t get to enjoy: having a job after college. “My business supports my family and me and supports our future,” Mazmanyan said. “I started this when I was a freshman. From the get-go I didn’t worry about having a job, and getting to pay my student loans was a blessing.”
