VINTAGE VEGAS: A BUILDING TO FEED MANY Established in 1965, St. Vincent’s Dining Room has been an integral program in the state, serving Nevada’s homeless and undernourished residents. A building at 650 S. Main St. was constructed in 1973 to house the program. On May 17, 1974, the property was dedicated and known as the Warren Wilson Memorial Hall in honor of the former head of Bartenders Union Local 165.

Pictured here, people line the property on

Nov. 24, 1983. The 1,400-square-foot facility could seat 120 people during each meal.

Under Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, the program was moved in 1985 to a larger building on North Main Street to accommodate the growing population of the needy. The dining room is now known as St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility and serves an average of 1,000 meals daily.

Q&A with shane huish

GM’s goal is for water park to never get stagnant Shane Huish is general manager of Cowabunga Bay, which was slated to open for the season April 1. The water park is limited to Friday nights and weekends for most of the month (it’s open for spring break), and weekends and Monday nights in May, then expands its hours for the summer.

Do you have any recent news to share?

I’m excited to begin our fourth season. Each season, we hire more than 500 seasonal employees and entertain upward of 300,000 guests. Getting to know our new employees and seeing the happy faces on our guests are the major highlights of my job.

What is the best business advice you’ve received?

Someone once told me: “You don’t need it all at once; sometimes small steps lead to big success.”

If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be?

I would love to have great weather year-round so Cowabunga Bay could always be open. Also I’d love to see the Speed roller coaster come back.

(Speed — The Ride closed in 2011 when the Sahara began the process of rebranding itself as SLS Las Vegas.

The ride reached 224 feet in height and had a maximum speed of 70 mph.)

Shane Huish sits on the Wild Surf ride at Cowabunga Bay. (steve marcus/staff)

What has been your most exciting professional project?

When I was younger and beginning my career, I worked for a theme park company and had the opportunity to work on some really great projects, like roller coasters and water parks.

I worked in the design and development department for Six Flags and Paramount Parks, and was able to work on some great attractions during those years. The project I am most proud of is the Top Gun roller coaster at Carowinds theme park in Charlotte, N.C. The opening of Cowabunga Bay is also a huge highlight.

What drew you to this business?

When I was a kid, I would beg my parents to take me to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Magic Mountain all the time; I was fascinated with all kinds of rides and the magic of amusement parks.

My family owned and operated miniature golf courses and go-kart tracks in Southern California, so go-

ing into the business was a natural progression for me. I love design, and being able to design themed experiences was what I wanted to do with my career.

What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas?

I typically work all day at Cowabunga Bay, and sometimes I enjoy private slide time after hours. Now that’s fun.

Describe your management style.

There is nothing I expect my employees to do that I won’t do myself.

I go through all lifeguard classes and certification each season. I work the registers, make pizzas and even clean the restrooms when needed — but my staff does a really good job of that, so I don’t have to.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I hope to see Cowabunga Bay expand with many more exciting, new attractions. For myself, I hope I’m

still doing the same thing I do now but with more gray hair.

What is your dream job outside of your current field?

If I had to choose another career, I would like to have a morning local TV talk show.

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?

If I could learn the language, I would live in Tokyo. It is my favorite place in the world to visit.

I have traveled there several times and each time I visit, I end up loving it more and more. It is the most efficient place I have ever been. The trains run on time to the second, everything about the city is clean, the people are friendly and courteous, and the city has a quirkiness to it that I absolutely love.

Whom do you admire?

Walt Disney; he was a true visionary. Walt said Disneyland would nev-

er be complete and that it would grow with new attractions and experiences.

I share the same feeling about Cowabunga Bay. We have set aside several areas in the park that will allow us to grow with new water attractions and water slides. Cowabunga Bay will continue to develop unique and exciting attractions that fit the look and theme of our park. I hope to see the park double in size in the next eight to 10 years.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

I do not like dishonesty in any form.

What is your funniest or most embarrassing work story?

We certainly see our fair share of bathing suit slips at the park, but I guess that is more embarrassing for them.

What is something that people might not know about you?

I’ve been to every Disney park in the world, and I ride every ride.

Security expert says visitors should feel safe in Las Vegas By thomas moore Staff Writer

Acts of terror may be happening more frequently in tourism hot spots around the world, but visitors to Las Vegas are coming to one of the safest destinations in the U.S., a Wynn security official said to a gathering of hospitality executives recently.

John Choate, executive director of security at Wynn and Encore, spoke to the monthly meeting of the Las Vegas Hospitality Association about security issues in Las Vegas.

“While the threats are out there, we still have all the mitigating measures in place right here,” he said. “And people should feel very, very safe coming to Las Vegas.”

Choate served as a Navy SEAL for 12 years. After leaving active duty, Choate said, he went to work for a CIA front company that assessed security vulnerabilities at major public facilities, like water treatment plants and airports.

During his speech, Choate said security is the basis for everything else that happens in Las Vegas, and described a conversation he had with Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn.

“In December of 2015, we called a security summit and Mr. Wynn asked a question of me and the group. The question was very, very specific. He said, ‘John, what is the worst thing that could happen to my hotel?’

A security guard mans the entrance to the Margaritaville casino inside the Flamingo. (staff file)

“And I would say the worst thing would be for it to be destroyed and crumble to the ground. But I don’t think that’s what he was asking.

“I asked him a question in return.

I said, ‘What I want you to imagine is this: Somebody walks into any entrance to any of your hotels and they have, let’s say, just a handgun, and all they do is point to the ceiling and shoot six bullets. They don’t aim at anyone in particular and nobody gets hurt. What is your business like the next day?’

“It becomes a virtually irrecoverable business event,” Choate said, answering his own question. “It’s something that cannot be tolerated.”

Fortunately, Choate said, Las Vegas’ tourism corridor has multiple resources to draw on when it comes to security.

They include special sections of Metro that specifically address the Strip, the Southern Nevada Counterterrorism Center (which is staffed by agencies from the FBI to police departments to even Nevada Park Rangers), Metro’s SWAT team, an FBI SWAT team and numerous other police agencies.

“There is not a day goes by that anything which is remotely deemed as a security threat or concern is not robustly addressed by multiple parties at once,” Choate said. “The sheer number of first responders, of law enforce-

ment, of medical responders in Las Vegas is absolutely extraordinary.”

He also explained that security departments from the various casinos work together — if only because the gun incident he described to Wynn would affect business for everyone.

“These aren’t little tribal pieces in separate casinos,” he said. “It’s one system. We are Las Vegas, and the harm to one is harm to all.”

While he extolled Las Vegas’ security apparatus, Choate made a point of explaining that security should not be looked at as a cost center but as a revenue generator, and pointed to Disney resorts’ installation of metal detectors as evidence.

“Every single day from (when they installed them) onwards Disney’s attendance has gone up,” he said. “It’s because people were actually not going because of perception of fear they had.”

Days after Choate’s speech, Rolando Cardenas was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of open murder with use of a firearm, attempted murder with use of a firearm, burglary while in possession of a firearm and discharging a gun within a vehicle.

He had barricaded himself inside a bus near the Cosmopolitan, which forced police to shut down the Strip from Flamingo Road to Harmon Avenue while negotiating his surrender.

Optimism abounds among state’s small-business owners By paul szydelko Staff Writer

Nevada’s small-business owners are increasingly confident about the economy, according to a survey sponsored by Nevada State Bank.

About 77 percent believe Nevada’s economy is headed in the right direction, a sharp rise from last’s year’s 61.5 percent.

Almost 69 percent believe the U.S. economy is headed in the right direction.

“In the four years we’ve been collecting data, we’ve never seen such optimism,” said Terry Shirey, president and CEO of Nevada State Bank.

“From a historical perspective, the percentage of businesses that believe the national economy is headed in the right direction has jumped from 35.5 percent in 2014 and 40.5 percent

in 2016 to 68.9 percent today.”

Shirey said that optimism fuels employment throughout the state, with 35.8 percent of businesses reporting they plan to increase their number of employees in the next 12 months, up from 23.9 percent in 2015 and 26.8 percent last year.

Among Southern Nevada business owners, support for the proposed NFL stadium was high, with 70 percent saying the venue would have a positive impact on Southern Nevada.

At the same time, however, about half said the stadium was a poor use of Clark County room tax dollars to help fund it.

While almost 67 percent didn’t believe the Las Vegas Convention Center expansion would directly affect their business, 75.1 percent said they believed it would have a positive im-

pact on the community. A majority believed the project is a wise use of Clark County room tax dollars.

Other notable statewide findings: n More than 70 percent expect their revenues or sales to increase in the coming year. n More than 63 percent anticipated an increase in profitability during the next 12 months. n More than 60 percent of those who applied for financing in the past year were fully approved. n More than 61 percent expect the 2016 presidential election results to have a positive impact on their business.

“By most measures, small-business owners continue to be very optimistic about Nevada’s economy,” Nevada State Bank Chairman Dallas Haun and Shirey said in an introduction to

the survey results. “With a ‘businessfriendly’ tax code, in addition to relatively inexpensive real estate, startups, entrepreneurs and established businesses from nearby states continue to flock to Nevada.”

As in past years, the survey showed small-business owners in Nevada continue to face challenges in recruiting quality employees. More than 70 percent of respondents believed it is “somewhat” to “very” difficult to recruit candidates from within their market, up from 66.1 percent in the prior year and 61.4 percent in the survey conducted two years ago.

Las Vegas-based research firm Applied Analysis conducted the survey of more than 400 small-business decision-makers, including owners, operators and management executives in December and January.

Railroad theme jettisoned in Palace Station’s renovation By thomas moore Staff Writer

Palace Station will soon ditch its train motif as a multimillion-dollar renovation project on the 41-year-old casino continues.

The remodeling began last fall, and work on the parking lot and landscaping has been completed. Work is progressing on the exterior, and workers will soon convert the steam locomotive theme to a more current “midcentury modern design,” Station spokeswoman Lori Nelson said.

As part of those changes, the six faux locomotive noses and the train cars on the front of the building facing Sahara Avenue will be removed and may be donated to the Neon Museum.

The donation is not a done deal, Nelson said, because of the logistics of dismantling and transporting the heavy pieces. Once they’re gone, however, she said Palace Station will sport “very clean lines and a very contemporary look.”

It’s not clear if the train theme will be abandoned completely. It’s still front and center on the casino’s marquee that sits at the northeast corner of the property. Nelson said management had not yet decided what to do about

the sign.

In addition to adding landscaping and removing the trains, a new main entrance and porte cochère will be constructed. The company also is updating the look and feel of part of the interior and adding a bingo room.

“It goes back to our roots,” Nelson said. “When it first opened in 1976, we opened as The Casino with 100 slot machines and the snack bar. And then a year later, the first expansion happened with the addition of a bingo room, and the casino was renamed Bingo Palace.”

Nelson said the room will be themed and run much like the bingo rooms at Red Rock Resort and Santa Fe Station.

“It’s nightclub meets bingo,” she said. “There’s a DJ who comes in, and there’s special lighting. If someone at your table wins bingo, everyone at the table gets a shot.

You’re going to see a lot of that kind of fun programming here at Palace Station.”

The company did not disclose the cost of the project because the renovation is being done in phases, and the status of future phases is still being discussed.

When current renovation is complete in mid- to latespring, the Feast buffet will be moved from the second to the first floor and the casino will add two restaurants.

Updated school funding formula has support, needs money By ian whitaker Staff Writer

State Sen. Mo Denis, a Las Vegas Democrat, is sponsoring a bill that would fulfill a long-standing goal of updating the way Nevada public schools are funded.

It can be a dry topic, but school funding has far-reaching consequences that affect almost every student, family and neighborhood.

Denis’ legislation, Senate Bill 178, would establish “weights,” simple multipliers that increase the money spent by the state on students who meet certain criteria, such as those still learning English, students with disabilities and those from low-income backgrounds.

Research shows that students who have to overcome such obstacles to learn need more attention and resources in the classroom.

The has bill attracted a chorus of support from public school advocates, including the Nevada State Education Association, whose lobbyist Chris Daly called it a “social justice issue for all Nevada students.”

Clark County Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky also supported the bill, noting that it would “take time to get right.”

“If we continue to starve our public schools by diverting money to other places, we’re always going to have this

“If we continue to starve our public schools by diverting money to other places, we’re always going to have this issue.”

— State Sen. Pat Spearman, D-North Las Vegas

issue,” Democratic Sen. Pat Spearman said at a recent hearing. “I think that’s why we are here right now.”

What the bill wouldn’t do, however, is find the money to pay for all of it.

Enacting the weights would require $1.2 billion in additional school funding over the next four years. Though the desire to put the weights into law is widely supported in education circles, the funding issue is where any hope of a united front quickly breaks down.

“You can put whatever you want in statute, but if you don’t have a funding mechanism, it’s kind of a hollow promise,” said John Vellardita, executive director of the Clark County teachers union.

Even though state Republicans and Democrats agree the weights should be added and funded — bipartisan legislation passed in 2015 made it the express goal to do so — this is not a year ripe for talk of raising taxes.

Gov. Brian Sandoval, who is both term-limited and willing to use the gubernatorial veto, has proposed only

modest funding increases to the school programs he created two years ago. The Republican governor faced backlash from the state’s ultra-conservative wing for pushing through a $1.5 billion tax package in 2015. That spilled over into the 2016 election and Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson’s congressional primary loss to Danny Tarkanian.

Some are proposing their own solutions.

“Let’s get real about this discussion,” Vellardita said. “It’s a billion dollars, and nobody has put that kind of money on the table.”

Instead, Vellardita’s Clark County Education Association wants to turn Sandoval’s added funding for programs in specific schools this year into a “universal weight” that would apply to all students. Currently, Sandoval’s education reforms from 2015 are centered within a handful of schools with high populations of English learners and low-income students, so students don’t get the extra resources unless they go to those schools.

Applying a universal weight this way in Clark County would, according to Vellardita, net an additional $350 per English learner districtwide in the first year, but it wouldn’t be enough to provide the same for Clark County School District’s large population of lowincome students. That’s why CCEA is calling for a modest $200 million increase in the current budget to help cover those students.

The NSEA has suggested additional taxes on marijuana as well as redirecting a 2009 room tax increase, which was meant for education but diverted into the general fund, back into schools.

“Finding pots of money here and there is not enough,” NSEA president Ruben Murillo said. “We have to look long-term.”

Others are taking a wait-and-see approach. Educate Nevada Now, funded by the Rogers Foundation, said the bill is paving the way for an ongoing conversation, one that hasn’t been had in the state before.

“I think there is an earnest desire to put more money into school finance,” said Sylvia Lazos, policy director for the group and a UNLV law professor.

“It’s great progress that we have a consensus on the weighted formula and the need to fund it,” she said. “We were not there when I started working on education issues.”

Vacation rentals not seen as competition for resorts “I have a large home and my kids are grown, so becoming an Airbnb host seemed like an interesting and creative vehicle to get some supplementary income, and it’s been a wonderful way to take the pressure off financially,” Ross said. She rents out two 12-by-14-foot bedrooms with an adjoining Jack-and-Jill bathroom in a private wing of her residence near Las Vegas Boulevard and Windmill Parkway.

Charging $80 a night for the whole package — all three rooms, with great room and kitchen access — Ross said she’s booked up about 20 nights a The home of Ellen Ross, above, provides the former dancer with about $1,600 a month, earning an average of $1,600 month in supplemental income through part-time rentals. Below are notes from over that period. renters left for Ross. (photos by mikayla whitmore/staff) In her 60s, Ross represents the company’s fastest-growing host demographic: senior women.

“Oftentimes, their home is their biggest asset but also their greatest expense, and they may be empty-nesters on a fixed income,” said Marisa Moret, Airbnb public policy manager for nine Western states, including Nevada.

According to a new report compiled by the San Francisco-based company — which was founded in 2008 and now has a worldwide presence in more than 65,000 cities — a typical senior female host earns about $8,350 annually, which can be a financial lifeline.

A similar report published in “I’m very friendly and open, and if guests want March 2016 revealed that nearly twothirds of all senior hosts are women. to get tips on cool places to go or hear adventure Moreover, women 60 and older are stories from someone who’s been here for 40 years, consistently the best-reviewed hosts on Airbnb, with 63 percent of trips I’ve sure got ’em.” hosted by senior women resulting in a — Ellen Ross five-star review.

close to 10,000. I pulled the data, and he was shocked to learn that there were only 400.”

Of course, Las Vegas is a destination city that attracted a record-setting number of visitors for the third consecutive year in 2016, drawing 42.9 million tourists, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. With 149,339 hotel rooms in Southern Nevada, the hospitality industry feels barely a ripple from Airbnb.

Since short-term rentals are not allowed in unincorporated Clark County — which includes properties near the Strip — or Henderson, many hosts are operating illegally. In Las Vegas, regulations on short-term rental businesses include a business license requirement and an annual $500 permit fee.

Virginia Valentine, president of the Nevada Resort Association, says Airbnb is not affecting resorts in Southern Nevada and points to the perks of staying at a traditional hotel-casino.

“You know exactly what you’re getting when you book at a resort property,” Valentine said. “The advantages are the almost unlimited high-quality accommodations and amenities. Resort hotels have concierge service, 24/7 room service and professional housekeeping. Guest rooms, restaurants and aquatic facilities are regularly inspected and meet all ADA requirements. And, of course, we have casinos.”

Moret agreed that Las Vegas has great hotels, but noted that Airbnb can fill a gap for people who aren’t necessarily in town to party, gamble and take in the lights.

“When people think of Las Vegas, they automatically think of the Strip, but there are tons of other things to do. I personally love Red Rock (Canyon National Conservation Area) — and not everybody goes to Vegas for the Strip experience,” she said. “I have a friend who goes there every year for a junior high basketball tournament and always uses Airbnb. Or maybe somebody is on a road trip with their kids, or is visiting family or just wants to experience a different local neighborhood.

“People have different desires when they take a trip. Airbnb is just another option, and I think we’ll continue to grow in Nevada.”

students furnished with tools to succeed Imagine. Discover. Create. These words leap off an orange wall inside a classroom designed to activate young minds. Unveiled March 24 at Henderson’s Jim Thorpe Elementary School, the new space is devoted to STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — and its lively vibe is courtesy of global furniture company Ikea. From comfy loungers and sleek study tables to chalk and magnet boards for brainstorming, the makeover was a weeklong process involving students, teachers and parents. ¶ The school’s principal, Chelsea Gibson, says STEM teacher Denise Castle was looking for ways to convert the old library into something that would inspire kids to engage and get inventive about technical subjects. A few conversations with Ikea’s local marketing manager, Laiyla Bass, and a design began forming around the promise of donated materials and the proven power of classroom environments with a lot of movement. Gibson said they can open up new possibilities for learning and remembering. ¶ “When you ask the kids what they are doing (in the new space), they say: ‘We are designing. We are creating. We are inventors. We are trying to figure out how to change or make something better.’ ”
