CIRCULATION Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis addresses the news media after NFL owners approved his team’s move to Las Vegas on March 27. (ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE)
OUR TAKE: TWO CAMPS, BOTH EYEING PUBLIC MONEY, DEFINED NFL VOTE Any veteran of politics knows that a vote for your candidate counts the same as one against the other person. Not all 31 votes cast by National Football League owners in favor of moving the Raiders to Southern Nevada bear symmetry. The approvals fall into two distinct categories: owners bullish on the future of Las Vegas and owners resigned to the seeming implausibility of a stadium solution in Oakland. Prominent owners including Robert Kraft of New England and Jerry Jones of Dallas — who stands to profit greatly if his Legends entertainment company is chosen to manage events at the new stadium — championed the move and brought a strong contingent with them. “I’m excited about it,” New York Giants coowner Steve Tisch said. “I think the Raiders have a great opportunity to create something very special.”
Atlanta owner Arthur Blank used $200 million in public financing to build the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the NFL’s newest jewel. Blank’s reasoning captured the other group, expressing more relief than joy. “I’m excited for (Las Vegas) as a solution,” Blank said. “I feel badly for the fans in Oakland, and I know the Davis family does as well.” Whether or not you agree with the Legislature’s decision, Nevada brought league owners a deal they could not abandon by offering $750 million in taxpayer money. Oakland held firm on avoiding expenditure of public money and lost its team. Tisch found one easy point of consensus as he punctuated his comments with a laugh. “We’re getting things passed much quicker than the president.” — ADAM CANDEE

Q&A with rob mccoy
‘We will never see another city built like this’ Rob McCoy is CEO of the Neon Museum, which exhibits iconic signs of Las Vegas’ past. Among the treasures preserved there is the La Concha Motel’s distinctive shell-shaped lobby, which has been converted into a visitor center, as well as portions of the old Stardust sign and the Riviera stars. McCoy became CEO in May, and has overseen a busy growth period for the museum. Do you have recent news you’d like to share? There is so much going on here at the museum, it would make your head swim. We just bought the building next to our visitor center — it will be torn down and replaced with a special events area and additional neon signs. Our museum store is finally open and setting sales records on a weekly basis. And we are in the early stages of planning for an additional building that will give us our first indoor exhibit area space, along with a neon fabrication workshop where our visitors will be able to see first-hand how neon is made and lit. What is the best business advice you’ve received? Three simple rules learned over the course of my professional career from multiple individuals: Keep it simple; no hidden agendas; surround yourself with people better than you. If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be? I wish it were hotter. OK, I’m kidding. But I do love the heat. We need to stem the talent flow from Las Vegas and increase the talent flow into our city. What’s the biggest issue facing Southern Nevada? Balancing workforce needs with educational goals. We missed the boat a couple of decades ago by promising everyone a high-paying job upon completion of a four-year degree. It’s one of the single biggest drivers of student debt, and for so many it’s completely unnecessary. We must find a way to foster and fund vocational training. What has been your most exciting professional project? Taking the Neon Museum to the next level by planning and executing a 10-year master plan that furthers our reputation as the crown jewel of Las Vegas. Trust me, it doesn’t get any more exciting than this. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas?
Rob McCoy stands among the felled giants of Las Vegas’ neon history at the Neon Boneyard. (christopher devargas/staff)
How many golf courses are there here? Having been raised on a golf course from a young age, I can’t think of anything more fun than 18 holes with people you love. Describe your management style. Set the vision. Hire the right people. Get out of the way.
never came back. I came back. Some have asked me if I ever regretted spending my entire life in Southern Nevada. Never. I’ve been a witness to history. We will never see another city built like this one again in the United States. With that said, we all could use a beach occasionally. With a golf course next to it, of course.
Where do you see your company in 10 years? When people look at a photograph of Fremont Street prior to the canopy, most see Glitter Gulch, the brightest street in America. I see that too, but I also see the Louvre, the Sistine Chapel and the Getty Museum all rolled into one. We are that museum, and I hope we will be even more so a decade from now.
Whom do you admire? My wife, who passed away two years ago. She was my biggest supporter and an incredible role model as a mother and grandmother. Her last three months on this earth were not good ones. In fact, quite the opposite. And yet she faced her circumstances with quiet strength, resoluteness and with an incredible peace. Admiration doesn’t begin to express my gratitude and respect.
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? I’m a native Las Vegan. Many of my contemporaries graduated from high school here, went away to college and
What is your biggest pet peeve? It ain’t rocket science and yet people keep trying to make it that way. Everyone reading this knows exactly what I mean.
What is your funniest or most embarrassing work story? We don’t have room here for the number of times I’ve embarrassed myself or fell off my chair laughing. But let me say it involves a television studio, a news anchor (me) and two live 500-pound Bengal tigers. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Patience. I wasn’t born with much and it seems to be getting worse with age. What is something that people might not know about you? I met Ronald Reagan, Cary Grant and Marilyn Chambers. That would be the Gipper, Archie Leach and the porn queen. Only in Las Vegas. Anything else you want add? Our lives are a compilation of the choices we make. Choose well and life will be good.

Maks Chmerkovskiy, Val Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani have helped popularize ballroom dancing in the United States by performing and teaching on the reality TV competition “Dancing With the Stars.” With their success on the screen has come business opportunities to share their passion, and the latest iteration of that is a new dance studio recently opened in Las Vegas, which Dovolani discussed with VEGAS INC.
What is the best part about doing business here?
It’s the entertainment capital of the world. People come here to have fun and experience new things, and that’s what we’re all about. It’s one thing to sit and watch a show, but its another to be a part of your own show. We want everyone to feel like they’re the star of their own world.
Who are your customers?
Technically, everyone. We’ll teach anyone interested in learning to dance, or looking for a rewarding activity or hobby, and has a desire for fun, good health, personal achievement or social fulfillment. We have a wide spectrum of ages, abilities and backgrounds, and we welcome people from all walks of life. We teach people with disabilities and use dance as physical, mental and emotional therapy. We’ve never turned anyone away, and we can teach anyone.
We’ve overcome a lot, and learned from our two decades of experience and growing pains. We have a great system in place, but I think our new challenge is expanding without losing the family touch and community feel. We’re working hard to keep that personalized Dance With Me experience while keeping the local flavor, and never feeling like we’re out of touch with the local community.
What is your business philosophy?
How can Nevada improve its business climate?
Our goal is to provide unique and memorable dance experiences for our guests. We strive to offer the best service in the most beautiful and inspiring dance studios. It’s not only about teaching people how to dance, it’s about helping people be healthier and happier while allowing them to express themselves with an incredible community of like-minded people.

So far the climate has been incredible, both business and weather. We received an incredible welcome from the community, the press, and local officials. Ask us again in one year and we’ll let you know.

To make sure that every student has a comfortable and fun learning experience while feeling challenged and inspired to be a better version of themselves. We want every person to feel special after they leave our studio. What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas has very high expectations for great service and entertainment. Some of the biggest names

Besides working hard at giving 100 percent to every single thing you do, it’s important to always analyze what you’ve done and find a way to do it better. It’s easy to get comfortable or caught up in your own success, but the moment you stop learning and improving is the moment you start failing. We look back after every project or implementation of a new system and ask, “How can this be improved? How can the next one be even better? What did we miss? How can the experience be more special for our guests?” I’ve learned a lot from working with our team and I’m always picking up new ideas from our teachers and students. An important quality of a good teacher is being a good listener, so I take their advice and suggestions to make our service better.

How quickly could Trump build a casino here? business dealings. But, it would take six to nine months for the typical businessperson.”
By thomas moore Staff Writer
With four acres of land a short walk from Las Vegas Boulevard, President Donald Trump and his business partner Phil Ruffin have an opportunity to build a casino near one of the busiest parts of the Strip. And, according to a recent Forbes article, they are considering it. The land in question is a paved parking lot, adjacent to the east side of Trump International Hotel, owned jointly by Trump and Ruffin, on the north side of Fashion Show Drive across from the mall. The gold-colored high-rise was conceived to be a condominium tower when construction started in 2005. But it was completed in 2008, just as the recession began, and prospective condo investors withdrew. So the Trump organization shifted strategy and opened the building as a hotel, although it is still possible to purchase condo units. But how long would it take for Trump to add a casino to the building, and could it be built and open before the end of Trump’s first term? The answers depend, at least in part, on two factors: how quickly the owners and key employees (Trump, his sons and Ruffin) could be licensed for gaming in Nevada, and how soon they could get the permits and permissions needed to start construction. Gaming Licensing The fact that Trump is president wouldn’t technically prevent him from having a gaming license. Nevada gaming regulations dictate that the state’s government employees and politicians cannot be granted gaming licenses, but they don’t address federal officeholders. “It’s rare that we have someone who is an elected official asking for gaming approval,” said A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. “But (state regulations) might be looked to in terms of policy guidance if a federal public official applied for gaming license.” Everyone who applies for a license faces an extensive investigation and at least two hearings: one before the Control Board and one before the Nevada Gaming Commission. That investigation looks into their business dealings, their personal finances, any brushes they’ve had with the law (whether formally charged or not) and any personal issues they have, such as

substance abuse or gambling habits, that could potentially bring disrepute to Nevada’s gaming industry. Burnett said a major factor that determines the length of the investigation is the level of ownership the applicant has in the gaming company. “There are different regulatory requirements that concern the percentage of interest that they may have, and there are different levels of investigation they may have to go through based on the percentage of their holdings,” Burnett said. Owners with less than a 5 percent interest in the company face the same process — which still looks into their backgrounds — that blackjack dealers and casino hosts face. For those who own more than 5 percent, the investigation is more rigorous. Any steps Trump takes to distance himself from the management of his businesses may not matter. In response to concerns about conflicts of interest, Trump and the White House have said that Trump is conveying his business operations to a trust. In a January press conference and white paper that outlined the ethics plans (and their legal justifications), Trump said his businesses would be managed by his sons Eric and Donald Jr., and his Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg. But creating trusts does not always inoculate people from Nevada’s gaming licensing process, Burnett said. “It can become complex when it comes to trusts,” Burnett said. “It depends on how the trust holds the gaming license. But there’s probably no
difference if the person is the trustee. A general rule is that we look to who holds control over the company, regardless of how they hold it.” Another factor that could affect the process is if the applicant is currently licensed or has been licensed before. In this case, both Trump and Ruffin are covered. Ruffin is licensed as the owner of Treasure Island. And several years ago, Trump was licensed as a significant shareholder of stock in the Riviera, Burnett said. The casino no longer exists, and Trump’s license has lapsed. Even so, it would still be an advantage, Burnett said. “In general, you have to look at the type of approval that was received in the past,” Burnett said. “If it was an outright gaming license and the applicant went through that level of scrutiny, it would speed things up. If someone already applied for a license, then the current one would in essence be an update from that time to present.” Overall, Burnett said, the Control Board has become so efficient that the process doesn’t typically drag on. “It’s entirely dependent on who it is, how quickly they file applications and how responsive they are to us, so it’s impossible to give any specific timing,” he said. “But I can’t see any individual taking longer than a year to be investigated. “And the only thing that would take it into a year time frame would be if the company has like 10 to 12 individuals who have lived around the world and who have extensive international
Construction Permitting But a gaming license is only one factor that determines how fast a major casino can be built and opened. There also are financing and marketing considerations. Ruffin and Trump could probably fund the casino on their own — Ruffin did buy Treasure Island with his own cash — but they could decide to reach out to investors. They also would need to develop a marketing plan and a design concept. Of course, there’s no way to know how long those internal business machinations could take. What you can know is how long it would take for Clark County to issue the necessary permits and approvals needed to start construction on a large building like a casino near the Strip. The endgame of the permitting process is having the Clark County Commission approve a special-use permit and a development agreement. But initially, according to Dan Kulin, a spokesman for Clark County, developers must submit a traffic study and a RISE/PFNA report, which addresses the impacts the project would have on regional infrastructure issues and water, sewer, fire and police services. As part of the report, the developer must conduct a study of flood and drainage conditions. Kulin said work can begin once that report is accepted. “If you’re doing the drainage study during this RISE/PFNA process, it would be possible to get, say, a grading permit and start,” Kulin said. It is technically possible, Kulin said, that the developer could submit all forms and applications and go before the County Commission in a little less than half a year. It’s possible but unlikely, Kulin said, because the developers have to do their own internal scheduling, hire the firms to conduct the specialized engineering studies and respond to any requests or questions the county has about the project. “That (time frame) is sort of a perfect-world scenario,” Kulin said He also said it doesn’t take into account any other issues the parcel of land could have that might delay the process, such as Federal Aviation Administration height restrictions, utility easements or underground stormwater facilities.

Execs discuss Southern Nevada as distribution hub By mick akers Staff Writer
Its proximity to Southern California ports and interstates, as well as the low costs of labor and transportation, have made the Las Vegas Valley an increasingly popular location for distribution centers, including an Amazon fulfillment center under construction in North Las Vegas. Henderson has proven particularly inviting to medium-to-large-sized companies, several executives said recently at a panel hosted by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce at Dragon Ridge Country Club. Speaking about their company’s reasoning were Ken Barnes, FedEx senior manager; Michael Manzione, Rakuten Super Logistics president/CEO; Mark Vrabel, Core-Mark division vice president; and Rob Tillman, Levi Strauss & Co. distribution director, U.S. West and Latin America. The Henderson facility is one of three Levi distribution centers in the country. It services regional and national stores and outlets, Tillman said, and is the only hub in the U.S. that ships Levi’s 501 style jeans. Levi Strauss built the center in the 1970s because of the state’s lower taxes, but other reasons have kept the company here several decades later. “We’re well-positioned here because California continues to make itself nonbusiness-friendly,” Tillman said. “From a transportation standpoint, we’re close to the Inland Empire (California) and the ports in Long Beach and Los Angeles. Four hours of transportation is not much.” Wholesale and retail clients are served out of the Henderson plant, which houses 400 of the company’s 1,100 distribution employees in the U.S. Those employees benefit from the area’s amenities and lower cost of living, Tillman said. Vrabel said the valley is like no other when it comes to Core-Mark’s business, which employs 300 locally to distribute conveniencestore products. “This is the only area that we service where there’s such a concentration of convenience stores within a 40-mile radius,” Vrabel said. “I’m not sure if it’s the tourist industry or the transient nature (of Southern Nevada), but we service over 1,100 stores in that area.”
“We’re well-positioned here because California continues to make itself nonbusiness-friendly.”
FAA might be a hurdle for proposed Raiders stadium By mick akers Staff Writer
— Rob Tillman, distribution director at Levi Strauss & Co.
Arizona pales in comparison, with only about 600 convenience stores spread between Tucson and Flagstaff, with far less volume, Vrabel said. The ability of FedEx drivers to get to surrounding cities quickly is one of the main advantages of working in Henderson, Barnes said. “We’re able to ... hit all the places in Southern California as if we were there,” Barnes said. “We can hit Phoenix the next day, we can hit California the next day … Salt Lake City in two days from right here.” The drive to Phoenix is set to improve even more once Interstate 11 is completed. However, Levi’s Tillman noted some negative factors. “The type of worker we’re trying to attract is not really in Henderson,” he said. “We also have some troubles with companies that will drop freight off but they’re not leaving. We have a hard time getting some things out of the area sometimes. It’s not like Los Angeles, where there’s a thousand different providers.” Manizone, CEO of Rakuten Super Logistics, an e-commerce company, agreed with Tillman, stating he’s had similar staffing issues. “People are probably our biggest problem,” Manzione said. “Whether it’s engineers, sales, or warehouse workers, it’s been a difficult task.” He also said internet speeds in the area have had a negative effect on his company, which relies on online interactions. “The biggest obstacle to us is great access to internet,” he said. “Fiber or higher bandwidth has been a major problem in the Henderson area. It’s something that needs to be improved upon, tremendously for us, because for us it’s all about communication.”

If the proposed $1.9 billion domed football stadium in Las Vegas is going to be more than 200 feet above ground level, officials need approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to build it. And the FAA needs at least 45 days notice before the start of construction, which they have yet to receive from the Raiders organization, says Ian Gregor, FAA public affairs manager, Pacific Division. The Raiders, who recently gained approval from the NFL to relocate from Oakland to Las Vegas, are responsible for all matters related to stadium site preparation and any regulatory clearances, according to Brian Haynes, a representative of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. This includes gaining airport clearance for the preferred Russell Road site, just west of Interstate 15. Under federal law, developers must give the FAA the opportunity to review construction plans near airports to see if there’s potential to pose a hazard to an aircraft or interfere with navigation aids. No official measurements have been released for the project, but seven of the eight NFL domed stadiums are taller than 200 feet. But even if the stadium were 199 feet, 11 inches high, it would still need FAA approval because of its proximity to McCarran International Airport’s runways. With the proposed December groundbreaking still months away, the organization has ample time to file the required paperwork. “There is no specific timetable for us to review a project,” Gregor said. “The time it takes to review a project depends on whether we identify any issues with it and, if so, the number and severity of issues.” But the Clark County Commission has the final say on approving the airport clearance, as the FAA submits its findings and recommendation to the commission. The county commission will base its assessment on county codes and other regulations the FAA might not include in its report.

Survey finds work-related pressure increasing said they are stressed at work on a day-to-day basis, and 60 percent said work-related pressure had increased in the past five years, according to a new survey by Menlo Park, Calif.– based staffing firm Accountemps. Their concerns are hardly lost on executives: 54 percent of CFOs acknowledged their teams are stressed, and 55 percent said worker anxiety was on the rise. Employees polled cited heavy workloads and looming deadlines (33 percent), attaining work-life balance (22 percent), and unrealistic expectations of managers (22 percent) as top worries. “Business is moving faster than ever, and employees can feel the crunch when it comes to imminent deadlines,” said Bill Driscoll, a district president for Accountemps. “Workers shouldn’t suffer in silence. They can tap internal resources for help or seek advice from their managers to ensure they meet work expectations, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.” Stressors are found nearly everywhere. Darin Marques, sales manager for developer Ascaya Inc. in Henderson, said that for him, a primary stressor is “the deluge of communication. With technology today, people can call your office, text you, email, even Facebook message you. Learning to manage all the communication you receive is key.” Leo Bletnitsky, founder and president of LBA Networking, said the most stress-inducing parts of being in the workplace, either as an owner/manager or an employee, can be viewed in two parts. One, the “tiny minority of clients that should be fired for not respecting and valuing the services we provide.” And two, “When a good staff member starts dropping the ball, causing others to have to pick up the slack.” Jennifer Braster, managing partner of the law firm Naylor & Braster, thinks the biggest stressors are tied to unknowns. “For example, you know you have XYZ deadlines coming up, but then something comes up and throws a wrench into things. It could be that your child is sick, or you have a one-hour meeting run five hours.” A stressed employee can have detrimental effects on the department or company, Driscoll said, including decreased morale and productivity and

increased burnout and turnover. Managers should look for signs their staff is overworked — like missed deadlines or excessive overtime — and talk to employees to pinpoint triggers and implement stress-relieving solutions. The Accountemps survey also found that younger workers are feeling much of the pressure: 64 percent of professionals between the ages of 18 and 34 admitted to being stressed on the job, compared with 59 percent of workers age 35-54, and 35 percent of respondents 55 and older. In addition, more men (57 percent) than women (47 percent) said they were stressed at work on a daily basis. Beating Stress Respondents told Accountemps about several ways they combat stress at work — including daily exercise such as yoga, walking and running, or enjoying time with friends or a significant other after work. Engaging in a hobby, listening to music and taking vacation time were other stressrelieving tactics employed. Other recommendations to come out of the research included: n Protecting your time. Staying organized is crucial to finishing tasks. Rather than trying to juggle two things at once, schedule periods throughout the day to focus on key assignments. n Helping to prioritize. Meet with team members individually to help prioritize workloads and set realistic expectations about project deadlines and desired outcomes. If there is too much work to go around, bring in temporary professionals to lighten the workload for full-time employees.
n Speaking up. If your to-do list seems never-ending, you may have too much on your plate. Talk to your manager about your workload and ask for help. n Offering resources. Encourage your team to take advantage of stressmanagement webinars, wellness tips or programs, and yoga or meditation classes available to them. Set a good example by utilizing these offerings as well as employee break rooms or lounges. n Taking a break. Feeling overwhelmed during the day? Step away from your desk, go for a walk or grab a snack. If you can’t get outside, look away from the computer and focus on a nonwork-related activity for a few minutes. n Making it fun. The job may be serious, but laughter and camaraderie can lead to greater work satisfaction and happiness. Look for ways to lighten the mood through social activities, staff celebrations or office decorations. “Everyone handles stress differently, and it is hard to say what the right or wrong way is,” said Tya MathisColeman of the Clark County School District. “It depends on the situation. Communication can most definitely help reduce stress, and it is important to make sure that you are great when it comes to time management. Being a planner helps eliminate job-related stress for me. I plan ahead, and try to be ahead in all situations.” Alleviating stress, Ascaya’s Marques maintained, is crucial. “The more stressed you are, the less likely you are to think clearly. It opens you up to knee-jerk reactions and potential bad decisions. Time blocking really helps with this. It’s proven that stress can turn into depression, and people don’t perform well in either condition. Stress and depression affect every part of your work, particularly communication with clients — and clients can feel when you are stressed. It makes them feel stressed, too, which makes their experience
with the company unpleasant.” Like ripples on a pond, the effects of stress radiate outward, he added. “There also are tangible results, like less attention to detail. This can affect the customer’s purchase. Real estate is a stressful business because there are so many pieces to a home purchase, and deadlines for all of them. It is critical that the real estate executive remains calm to ensure that the process goes smoothly.” It can go even further. Colleagues’ stress can have a trickle-down effect, Marques said. “It starts at the top and moves down from there,” he said. “People don’t look forward to going to work. It’s difficult not to take work stress home. If you are stressed at work, you take it home and it continues to escalate.” The most important lesson Marques has learned about managing stress, he said, was time blocking. “I block out certain times of my day to check email, return and make calls, participate in meetings and handle recurring items,” he said. “I have open blocks of time to address new items and projects. I also get up early and exercise before work. Then, when I get to the office, I’m awake and ready for the day.” Marques has found value in scheduling one-on-one time with colleagues “to let them know their concerns have value and are important enough for you to listen to them.” Another strategy is to “help train your team to focus on solutions during a stressful situation, instead of focusing on the problem. Then, when they have a concern and you are not immediately available, they can focus on finding solutions to bring to you, instead of just the problem itself.” Bletnitsky said communication “absolutely” plays a role in alleviating workplace anxiety. His advice? “Try to communicate perceived issues to problem clients. Sometimes that can save the relationship. Keep communication going. People are willing to work harder than normal, but need to know the rainbow is coming. Let staff know that while stuff happens, as long as they communicate their personal issues, we’ll have their back.” For some, however, the simplest solutions are the best. The preferred way to deal with stress, Braster concluded, is to “take a minute, breathe, and prioritize.”

Valley has reason for cautious optimism about economic future
B
eing a lawyer, I consistently dwell in the realm of worst-case scenarios. So, the phrase that best describes my outlook for the next year is cautious optimism. The reasons for being optimistic arise from the progress the Las Vegas Valley has made in traditional industries, such as construction and entertainment. New home, residential remodeling and manufacturing construction are on the rise — and if light rail and other infrastructure development comes into play, construction will grow even further. Construction provides Guest column: good wages for a large judah zakalik amount of people, thereby allowing them disposable income that should further stimulate the economy. When people have more disposable income, they spend it in areas like entertainment. In entertainment, Las Vegas has welcomed more casinos, nightclubs and celebrity residencies. Beyond these known trades, we also have the addition of
Given our recent history of being one of the hardest-hit cities in the nation, any downturn in the housing market can cause people to panic, which may lead to them selling their homes and thereby further increasing supply. professional sports franchises (the Golden Knights and Raiders), technology startups (such as Faraday Future) and recreational cannabis (which is likely to bring in millions of dollars in tax revenues). These are all reasons for valley residents to be optimistic about the near future. Of course, this coin has another side — caution. What leads me to be most cautious is the less-thanideal rise in income figures. In the past three years, Las Vegans’ median household income has increased just 0.79 percent, far less than the national increase of 5.17 percent, and even Nevada’s statewide increase of 2.07 percent. In fact, the median income in Clark County remains about 10 percent lower than it was in 2006, before the bubble burst. This lethargic growth in the median household income, which has been outpaced by the rising costs of living, inflation and home values, may lead to another oversupply of housing. As we saw in 200708, stagnant wages and rampant construction in
the residential market can cause supply to outpace demand. If this happens again, we may see another drop in home sales and values. Given our recent history of being one of the hardest-hit cities in the nation, any downturn in the housing market can cause people to panic, which may lead to them selling their homes and thereby further increasing supply. Additionally, any decrease in residential building can have a severe impact on our construction industry, depressing incomes further and negatively affecting people’s disposable income and spending. Finally, many people in Las Vegas leveraged credit-card debt to make it through the downturn. Some of them counted on their incomes returning to pre-bubble levels, but that hasn’t happened. Now, with their credit limits maxed out, these people are being forced to consider bankruptcy or other debtrelief options. There are many ways the valley’s economy is growing and diversifying, but we cannot forget the painful lessons of borrowing and spending that punished us when the bubble popped. If we do forget the recent past, we’re bound to relive the same nightmare. Judah Zakalik is a founding partner at Peters and Associates.

UNLV President Len Jessup
We could all learn something at UNLV. The campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is a model of landscaping that’s both beautiful and waterefficient. Over the past decade, UNLV has converted more than a million square feet of turf to desert-friendly landscape resulting in annual water savings in excess of 45 million gallons. Through landscape conversions and technology enhancements, UNLV has decreased its annual water usage by 76 percent since 2001. And that’s a good lesson for all of us. Learn what your company can do to save water. Go to snwa.com or call our conservation specialists at 702.862.3736.
The SNWA is a not-for-profit water utility.
