VINTAGE VEGAS: FREMONT STREET IN FULL SWING Established long before the Strip, Fremont Street has roots dating back to the early 1900s and once was the main attraction for Las Vegas travelers. The historic street is known for being anchored by Las Vegas’ first hotel (the Golden Gate, formerly known as Hotel Nevada); the first paved street in the city adorned by the first street light; and home to the Northern Club, which garnered Nevada’s first issued gaming license.

Pictured here is a view of Fremont Street

from the Plaza pool circa 1970.

By the 1990s, Fremont had lost its luster for many tourists as megaresorts lined Las Vegas Boulevard, which became the city’s centerpiece attraction. After a decade of improvements and revitalization by investors — such as Tony Hsieh’s Downtown Project — downtown is once again a hot spot for locals and visitors.

Q&A with Carmen Taitague Tenorio

Restaurateur dove in, then learned to swim Carmen Taitague Tenorio owns Red Rice and last year was selected to participate as a Diaspora Delegate in Guam as part of the Festival of Pacific Arts, which brings together the cultures of 27 Pacific islands every four years. “I experienced how other islands prepared and cooked certain dishes, with great chefs,” she said. Her restaurant, which features the flavors of her native Guam, celebrated its second year in business Jan. 3.

What is the best business advice you’ve received?

“Do it because you love it!”

Cooking was what we loved to do.

We really didn’t have any restaurant experience before we opened Red Rice. We catered out of our kitchen, so owning a restaurant was new to us. Usually, people have some kind of knowledge or experience — you know, test the waters. Not us! We saw the opportunity to share our culture through food, and jumped right into the deepest part of the ocean — without a life vest.

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

Education. I know all the politicians always say that, and when I lived in California, part of the lottery winnings were supposed to go toward education. But education is the first thing that gets cut. Teachers should Carmen Taitague Tenorio displays her restaurant’s Fiesta Plate and some Chamget paid more.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Crazy drivers — people who don’t pay attention to where they are going or are busy texting or talking on the phone and then cut right in front of me. And drivers who aren’t courteous.

When there is a lane closed, please allow cars to merge. I hate when I have to squeeze myself into a lane.

What is your funniest or most embarrassing work story?

At Red Rice, one of our employees bent down and ripped his pants front to back. He had to put two aprons on to cover up. He looked like he was walking backward his whole shift.

As for embarrassing, when I worked at a dental office in California, I called to see if our patient was still coming for his appointment, because he was 15 minutes late. I asked to speak to Martin, and the lady who answered said, “Martin passed away yesterday.”

I offered our condolences and right away, our office manager had the florist send flowers and a sympathy card to his address.

Ten minutes later, a guy walked up to our desk and apologized for being late due to traffic. He said his name was Martin. You could have heard a pin drop. I explained what happened.

I had called a wrong number, and there was a Martin who lived there.

I had to apologize to Martin and explain that, when he got home, there would be flowers and a sympathy card waiting for him.

What is something that people might not know about you?

I don’t eat sushi, sashimi or rare steak. My parents ran a Japanese business and we had to make 50, 100, 200 nigiri, so that seaweed wrapper smell — oosh — and I can’t stand the raw texture.

Also, I am a Eucharistic minister at my church and on-call minister for two hospitals. Once a month I serve Mass and give Communion to about 15 residents at a senior home-care facility.

Beauty on a budget: Spa aims to put a day of pampering in everyone’s reach Describe your business.

Seva Beauty is a fast-casual spa offering services like brow shaping, lash extensions, facials, all types of body waxing and more.

Who are your customers?

Seva Beauty Address: In Wal-Mart locations at 8060 W. Tropical Parkway (Las Vegas); 540 Marks Street (Henderson) Phone: 702-839-0888 and 702-558-6356 Email: info@sevalasvegas.com Website: sevabeauty.com Hours of operation: 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday through Saturday; noon-6 p.m. Sunday Owned/operated by: Doug Grant and Audrey Davis In business since: April 2016

The majority of our clients are women, but we also see many men and teenagers.

Seva makes pampering and beauty treatments approachable and achievable for an entirely new world of clients because of our pricing structure. We are located in a major department store and, because of the volume of customers, we are able to offer services at around half the price of other area spas.

It really warms my heart, and I hear this every day, someone will say “I never thought in my lifetime that I would have the ability to afford to treat myself like this every two weeks.”

What is the hardest part about doing business in Southern Nevada?

I moved here from Southern California, and I’m still getting used to our local clientele as we work to earn repeat business. About 30 percent of our customers are from out of town, so we have to work extra hard to get exposure to local residents.

What is the best part about doing business here?

What is your business philosophy?

“Beauty to the people” is what we are known for. Our goal is to make everyone feel great when they leave the spa.

I call our team “smile makers” because everyone who leaves our spa always leaves with a big smile, and that’s a great feeling.

What’s the most important part of your job?

The most important part of what we do is to be certain that every customer has the best possible experience and feels rejuvenated. To have someone come in after having a bad day and leave feeling fabulous and happy brings a lot of joy to us.

We also have many clients who see us before a major event, a date or a job interview. To us, providing that extra boost of confidence really does matter.

I’m a major foodie and now live in the food and entertainment capital of the world, so I try to take advantage of that every day. I love the restaurants and entertainment here. The international aspect of this city is great; you meet people from all over the world every day. It’s exciting.

What obstacles has your business overcome in the market so far?

At first, staffing was a challenge. Las Vegas is a transient city, so it’s always a challenge to maintain a solid, well-trained staff. Now, we have a great team in place.

Gaining momentum, letting locals know about our new locations, permit issues and construction delays also challenged us early on. Now, we know what to expect as we plan for our third location.

Gamblit chief encouraged by early returns on skill-based games By thomas moore Staff Writer

Less than a week after some of the first skillbased gaming machines debuted in Nevada at Planet Hollywood, preliminary returns looked good, said the CEO of Gamblit Gaming, the company that built them.

The games, Cannonbeard’s Treasure and Gamblit Poker, are the first fully skill-based casino games to go live in Nevada. They began operating at the Caesars property March 30 as part of a field trial, made possible by the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s “Innovation Beta” plan, which allows quicker testing and approval of new gambling technology.

Eric Meyerhofer, CEO and a founder of Gamblit, was asked about the games by A.G. Burnett, chairman of the Control Board, at a recent hearing. Meyerhofer was there to testify for an unrelated financial issue concerning his company when Burnett took a moment to ask about the People try out a “Brew Caps” game at the progress of the games.

Winter growth bodes well for housing market By adam candee Staff Writer

The normally slow winter season for the Las Vegas real estate market continued a slight warming trend in March.

Existing-home prices jumped just less than 1 percent last month, bringing the median resale price to $242,000 in Southern Nevada, according to statistics released by the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors. Growth in the winter months always flashes as an encouraging sign for the local market, as spring and summer historically stand as the strongest months for home sales.

Last month’s median price moved up 10 percent from March 2016. Perhaps most impressive is the fact that near the bottom of the recession and housing crisis five years ago, the median home price sat at just $123,000.

“We continue to see a strong demand for

housing heading into what is traditionally our best time of year for home sales,” GLVAR President David Tina said. “Combined with a tight supply, I think our home prices and home sales may continue to get a boost from the positive economic news we’ve been enjoying lately.”

Growth could be driven as much by that shortened housing supply as any other factor.

GLVAR reported 5,488 single-family homes listed for sale, down 23.9 percent from a year ago.

Southern Nevada has less than a three-month supply of homes for sale, and Realtors consider a six-month supply to be a balanced market.

Cash sales — typically a sign of homes being purchased by investors instead of residents — crept upward in March as well.

Las Vegas will soon get its second e-sports arena, in the space once occupied by the LAX nightclub at Luxor, according to an announcement from Allied Esports, which is developing the facility.

The other e-sports venue, Millennial Esports, opened in Neonopolis downtown in early March.

The nightclub closed April 1, and the 30,000-square-foot e-sports venue will take over the space early next year.

The decision to add some kind of e-sports offering in the space LAX had occupied came shortly after Luxor management toured the nightclub before its closure, according to General Manager Niklas Rytterstrom.

“We have been following the growth and excitement around e-sports for some time,” he said. “So when we walked that area, we realized pretty quickly that the LAX space would be suited perfectly for what we wanted to create.”

The arena will house 750 to 1,000 people, depending how the area is configured, an MGM spokeswoman said.

“It’s going to be open the majority of the day,” Rytterstrom said. “We’ll have individuals coming in to play single stations and really interact with other e-sports fans. It will have bars and several lounges that will have that experience.

And we’ll also be able to transform it into an arena and do the bigger events.”

Rytterstrom said there will be areas for underage players as well.

He wouldn’t say if any there had been any discussions with tournament organizers about possible events. “It’s still a little early to talk about that since the venue will not be opened until the first quarter of 2018. We’re still in design mode.”

The opening is the latest milestone in a push to make Las Vegas an e-sports destination. In addition to the March opening of the Millennial Esports arena, international sports book company William Hill has offered bets across Nevada on two major e-sports tournaments.

And in February, several Las Vegas executives launched the Nevada Esports Alliance, a group dedicated to promoting Nevada in the e-sports industry Seth Schorr, chairman of the Downtown Grand and one of the Alliance’s founding members, said one of the biggest e-sports conferences could be staged in Las Vegas next year.

“I think (the new arena) is incredibly exciting for Las Vegas,” Schorr said. “At the Nevada Esports Alliance, the goal of our organization is to make Las Vegas a global hub of e-sports, and seeing news like this shows we’re well on our way.”

What that $100 Raiders deposit actually gets you By adam candee Staff Writer

That Las Vegas Raiders seasonticket deposit you plunked down does not go toward your season tickets.

No, your $100 reserves only the chance to buy a license to purchase those season tickets. Your money actually helps the Raiders pay their portion toward the new $1.9 billion stadium through a system of personal seat licenses that provides the right to buy tickets, not the actual tickets.

The Raiders launched a PSL deposit drive days after receiving approval by NFL franchise owners to move the tea to Las Vegas.

set. That covers eight regular-season and two preseason games, plus first crack at playoff tickets through the AFC Championship. What else you get from your license will be up to the Raiders and their stadium events company.

Some PSL structures allow license holders the first chance to purchase tickets to other stadium events, such as concerts and soccer matches. The big stuff likely will be off the table, though, as ticket inventory for the Super Bowl and potential collegiate bowl championship games are tightly controlled by their sponsoring entities. On their website, the Raiders say a PSL “will secure your right to purchase season tickets to Raiders games and other events at the new Las Vegas Stadium.”

Las Vegas Stadium Authority board chairman Steve Hill said the Stadium Authority and the team would formulate a separate PSL agreement. That document will spell out the terms of how the Stadium Authority — which ultimately controls the licenses because it will own the stadium — will sell the PSLs to fans. The money will go toward the construction of the stadium, which is expected to open in time for the 2020 NFL season.

The Stadium Authority cannot collect any funds until that agreement is enacted. Hill said the Raiders might eventually give back the $100 deposits and allow people to purchase the actual seat license through the LVSA in priority order from the deposit list.

Parking-revenue dispute clouds team’s future at Oakland coliseum By adam candee Staff Writer

The Oakland Raiders might need to find a home away from the East Bay sooner than expected.

The Raiders and the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Authority are engaged in a dispute over unpaid parking revenues that threatens the team’s ability to exercise its 2018 lease option.

In a recent report to the authority board, Executive Director Scott McKibben wrote that the Raiders are in default for what could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in contracted parking revenue owed to the authority. The issue dates back to 2013 and came to light during a monthlong audit process.

“We have several times requested additional necessary data to accurately compute what they owe us, and only most recently did we receive the data for the 2016 season,” McKibben wrote.

Outstanding is data from 2013, 2014 and 2015

O.co Coliseum is reflected in a puddle before a game in 2015 in Oakland, Calif. (associated press file)

needed to determine a final amount owed.

The Raiders have the right to dispute the findings of the audit. The team can hold off the default and maintain its 2017 lease option by putting into escrow the amount it might owe, which McKibben reported the Raiders already did.

If the sides cannot agree on a resolution, the matter goes to arbitration. The Raiders could lose the ability to play in Oakland in 2018 if they fail in arbitration and/or do not pay their debt to the authority.

McKibben said he did not anticipate extending the team’s lease to play in Oakland through the 2019 season, despite owner Mark Davis’ stated desire to do so. He cited an operating deficit on Raiders games and a desire to use the site for other purposes.

Potential Raiders homes for the 2019 season include Santa Clara, San Francisco, Berkeley, San Diego and San Antonio. While Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas has been evaluated by the team, Davis said he did not see the aging, undersized facility as a likely temporary home for a full season.

The authority next meets April 21, a day after the Las Vegas Stadium Authority Board convenes to discuss an updated version of a draft lease agreement with the Raiders.

Caring, fro m page 1

Buy-in for caring companies ‘starts at the top’ with, and work for, companies that care.

Indeed, People magazine’s recent Companies That Care list highlighted firms that have succeeded in business while also demonstrating respect, compassion and concern for their employees, their communities and the environment. The companies chosen stood out by building a culture of caring, commitment and extraordinary generosity toward their employees and their larger communities. Rankings also took into account employees’ personal stories about the difference their workplaces have made in their lives and the places they call home, and the generosity of those companies’ benefits, financial donations and volunteerism.

By any standard, then, Las Vegas’ business community reflects the best that our nation has to offer.

Creating Culture “Beyond pay and benefits, employees want to work for an employer that genuinely cares about them as individuals,” said Patrick Hicks, the founding shareholder of hicks national employment law firm Littler Mendelson PC’s Nevada offices. “Likewise, a community will embrace employers that give back to those who have helped the company succeed.”

Buy-in to such a belief system “starts at the top,” Hicks suggested.

“If a company’s leaders live up to its stated principles, it is much more likely that those positive behaviors and actions will be repeated by others throughout the organization.”

“The culture we create in our company environment is paramount,” said Leslie Parraguirre, founder of the Las Vegas-based interior design firm Colours Inc. “Women and mothers work here. We at Colours vow to not only continue to be supportive of our new parents but also help with the daughters and sons with aging parents. It does take a village.”

A company that cares is one that not only includes respect and community in its core values “but demonstrates that consistently,” said Jill

Bell, executive vice president and human resources director at Nevada State Bank. “It is through management’s in- bell teractions with colleagues, colleagues’ interactions with the community and with one another that you see the core values come alive.”

For Nevada State Bank, it means providing a Colleague Emergency Fund to assist them in times of need.

“It’s sending flowers when a colleague has lost a loved one,” Bell said. “It’s ensuring we have created a culture of caring at our bank that extends beyond the doors of our branches and into the communities we serve.”

In today’s economy, Bell said, there are many opportunities for employment, “but working at a company that you know truly cares about your wellbeing and that of your family and the community in which you live ensures your commitment and engagement in that company’s success. When you’re able to tell your friends, family and community where you work and say it with pride, your company has successfully created a company that cares.”

Marisa Palomo, director of human resources at the Penta Building Group, said that for her company, caring means carving out the time in a busy deadline-driven environment to be truly familiar and aware of its employees and the world that surrounds and impacts them.

“We emphasize to our managers, from our executives on down the line, that a project isn’t successful if we haven’t developed, recognized and grown the employees that worked on it,” Palomo said. “This takes a certain discipline during projects that are fast-paced and full of pressure to meet financial, schedule and other business metrics and spend time getting to know what motivates, inspires and impacts each employee.”

Penta regularly dedicates time for lunches, events and even at the beginning of meetings to get to know what is going on in its people’s daily lives, both personal and professional.

“Our performance reviews include candid conversations about how their personal motivators tie in to their

professional goals,” Palomo said.

Vital Connection Southwest Medical Associates has embedded that vital connection between the organization and the communities it serves through 12 Employee Community Councils across the organization, comprising every employee — almost 2,000 in total.

The ECCs provide leadership experience, visibility and networking opportunities for employees. More important, the ECCs strengthen a sense of social responsibility. Members of each ECC can identify charities that merit support and then support them regionally, via their council, or organization-wide.

“Southwest Medical believes that an engaged and active workforce is necessary to ensure the community’s health and vitality,” said Toni Corbin, vice president of operations. “It has an organization-wide response to ongoing social issues, not simply with corporate giving but with the ‘sweat equity’ of all its employees, from executive leadership to front-line personnel.”

Case in point: CodeGreen is Caesars Entertainment’s company-wide environmental strategy. “It’s how we work to reduce our overall resource usage and take aggressive and proactive measures to preserve our environment,” said Gwen Migita, vice president of sustainability and corporate citizenship. “From the beginning, employees have driven our efforts.”

CodeGreen at Home encourages employees to spread the environmental consciousness learned at work to their homes and communities. In return, employees receive Total Return credits, which are redeemable for travel, events and merchandise. Since its inception, the program has awarded approximately $180,000 in Total Return credits to employees for sharing CodeGreen At Home projects.

Nathan Adelson Hospice’s mission is simple, said Rosamari McNulty, vice president of employee and volunteer solutions: “No one should end the journey of life alone, afraid or in pain. This could not be achieved without a highly motivated workforce that buys into that mission.”

Being an organization that cares, she said, is “a key aspect of productivity. It makes sense that the enthusiasm

and interest that fully engaged employees bring to their work each day would be directly tied to both a more unified work- m c nulty place culture and the extra efforts, better ideas and innovations that make organizations thrive.”

The hospice understands that people can experience personal concerns and situations that may affect their job performance, McNulty said.

“When this happens, it is important to have resources available that can assist in finding solutions to these concerns,” she said As such, the hospice offers its employees a comprehensive program called the Life Connection. It is offered at no charge, is available to employees and their household members, and provides professional counseling, telephonic consultations, training and online resources to assist with the normal stressors of daily living.

There are as many ways for companies to care as there are things to care about. Colours’ Parraguirre offered several suggestions: “New babies of employees can come to the workplace for six months, and all school holidays off for staff — so no day care.”

Another initiative involves doing pro bono work for organizations like the Agassi Foundation and Child Haven, with which Parraguirre has worked for 11 and seven years, respectively, and Opportunity Village. “We just started working with the Denim Drive with Reno Rodeo, purchasing clothing for foster children in 14 Nevada counties,” she said.

It cannot be repeated enough that being a company that cares “isn’t always good for the bottom line,” Palomo added. “If the decision to care is measured by the bottom line, the most impactful actions of caring might not ever happen. This is where genuine caring is sometimes lost in the business world. I do think, as it relates to the bottom line of the company over several years, that it creates an army of employees who work to increase success of the company through high levels of productivity, efficiency and collaboration, which is good for the bottom line in the long run.”
