SLOW CLIMB BACK TO THE PEAK Las Vegas home values have shot up from the depths of the recession, helping many people get above water and creating a windfall for those who bought at the bottom.

But, in a sign of how high the market soared last decade and how badly it crashed, home values still are far from peak levels.

The median home value in the Las Vegas area in February was $201,900, up 9 percent from a year earlier. Nationally, the median was $184,600, up 4 percent, according to home-listing service Zillow.

Home values here remain

34 percent below their peak, compared with 6 percent nationally, Zillow found.

Las Vegas’ yawning gap was largest among the 35 metro areas listed in the report, surpassing other boomand-bust cities such as Orlando, Fla. (29.5 percent below its peak); Riverside, Calif. (25.5 percent); and Phoenix (21.1 percent).

It could take several more years before Las Vegas home values reach the hyper-inflated levels of the housing boom. But given what happened last time, that’s probably a good thing. We all know what can happen if your house suddenly triples in value.

Q&A with spencer stewart

Education undergoing ‘dramatic transformation’ Spencer Stewart is chancellor of Western Governors University Nevada, a private, online school that launched here in June with a proclamation by Gov. Brian Sandoval. Over the past six months, Stewart says, the school has increased its enrollment by about 60 percent, up to nearly 1,500 students. Much of the growth has occurred in WGU’s College of Business, followed by the College of Health Professions, Teachers College and College of Information Technology.

Do you have any recent news to share?

In March, we introduced a masters degree in data analytics. As businesses collect an increasing amount of data, the need to accurately interpret, manipulate and make use of the data becomes more crucial for strategy development and ongoing success. I’m excited to see how this new program will benefit our students and employers.

What are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen in your 14 years in education?

The higher education industry is undergoing dramatic transformation, and the pace of transformation will only continue to accelerate. It reminds me of the oft-quoted line: “Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and they happen faster than you thought they could.” Change is happening within the higher education landscape faster than I thought it ever could.

Tesla, Switch back effort to end NV Energy monopoly By daniel rothberg Staff Writer

Tesla and Las Vegas data company Switch are backing a ballot initiative to create a competitive electricity market, a move that would effectively end NV Energy’s monopoly.

In the past year, both companies have emerged as active players in the debate over the future of energy generation in Nevada.

Though neither was involved with the ballot initiative when it was announced in February, both decided to throw their weight behind it recently as organizers work to assemble a coalition of support.

Tesla, whose CEO, Elon Musk, is

chairman of SolarCity, weighed in on the rooftop solar debate this year, urging the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada to reconsider a controversial decision to increase fixed fees for solar customers.

More recently, Musk met with legislators and the state’s chief economic development official at his Northern Nevada battery factory to discuss the future of the grid and how storage batteries, which the company is producing, could work with rooftop solar.

Musk said “solar energy is the cheapest energy today in the state of Nevada and ‘Energy Choice’ will enable Tesla and all Nevadans to choose solar.”

Switch attempted to leave the grid

last year but ultimately negotiated a deal with NV Energy to source exclusively from renewables after the PUC denied its exit application.

Switch CEO Rob Roy said the initiative would be a boost to clean energy.

“Nevada could create unparalleled opportunities in renewable energy that remain largely untapped due to a lack of forward-thinking energy policy,” Roy said in the statement.

In late February, several sources said the initiative was being backed by gaming and technology companies.

At least three gaming companies, which consume about 7 percent of NV Energy’s service, have been looking to part ways with the utility and pur-

chase electricity on the open market.

Las Vegas Sands Corp., MGM Resorts International and Wynn Las Vegas LLC applied to leave the grid last year.

The PUC granted their exit applications but required them to pay more than $125 million to leave NV Energy.

The ballot measure could be a way to avoid the fees.

Wynn and MGM have denied involvement in the initiative in the past.

Ron Reese, a spokesman for Las Vegas Sands, said in February he could neither confirm nor deny Sands was involved.

In the early 2000s, several other gaming companies looked to leave NV Energy.

President: Stadium would help UNLV academically

By J.D. morris Staff Writer

Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Majestic Realty Co. publicly aired their plans recently for a 65,000-seat football stadium by the UNLV campus, describing to a key infrastructure panel how Las Vegas would benefit from the facility and its potential for attracting an NFL team.

The presentation to the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee envisioned a project that would cost an estimated $1.3 billion and require some public funding. If the project were approved, construction could start in late 2017 and the stadium could open in the second half of 2020, according to Majestic Realty executive Craig Cavileer.

The stadium would likely be built on 42 acres recently purchased by UNLV along Tropicana Avenue near Koval Lane. Backers would want the Legislature this summer to create a stadium authority board with power to execute the project, Cavileer said, as well as authorize a “reliable source of public revenue” to cover “a portion” of the project’s price tag.

Early reports pegged the public share of the stadium cost at $780 million, which would likely come from tourism taxes, but Cavileer did not commit to a specific figure. He indicated that would be clarified at a later appearance before the infrastructure committee.

Much of the meeting focused on why the stadium was even necessary and what effect it could have on

“Where we want to go as a top-tier university involves not only improvements on the academic side of the house ... but it also requires us to make improvements on the athletic side of the house.”

— Len Jessup, UNLV president

Southern Nevada.

Cavileer told the panel that Las Vegas and Nevada should make “strategic investments” that provide immediate returns on investment and benefit the tourism economy. Despite calling itself the Entertainment Capital of the World, the area lacks without a larger stadium that can fit more visitors, he said.

“A multipurpose stadium puts Las Vegas on the map in a much different way than today,” Cavileer said.

He cast the stadium as a way to meet both the needs of UNLV — which wants to bring its football team to a venue closer to campus — and the tourism industry.

The facility could at least host UNLV football games and a range of large entertainment and sporting events. But the biggest potential use would be to house an NFL team such as the Raiders, whose owner, Mark Davis, has recently met with Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson and Gov. Brian Sandoval.

UNLV President Len Jessup said building a stadium would be a “gamechanger” for UNLV and could help further the university’s goal of becoming an elite institution.

“Where we want to go as a top-

tier university involves not only improvements on the academic side of the house ... but it also requires us to make improvements on the athletic side of the house,” Jessup said.

Proponents also attempted to show how the stadium proposal would benefit the region more generally — with or without an NFL team.

If a stadium were to host an NFL team, sponsorship revenue, including naming rights and other sources, could generate $26.4 million by 2019, consultants for the project found.

That figure was only $8 million for a non-NFL stadium, according to a presentation from Convention, Sports & Leisure International.

Even without an NFL team, however, a large stadium could generate sizable benefits in other areas. Fifteen nonNFL events in such a venue could produce $46 million a year in tax revenue, according to Mark Rosentraub, a University of Michigan professor who analyzed the project’s economic potential.

Though the infrastructure committee has not yet examined which public funding sources the stadium would need, Clark County hotel room taxes are a potential source. And that possibility has already clashed with another big infrastructure project: the

$1.4 billion expansion and renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Las Vegas Sands has argued the convention center expansion should not be publicly funded, saying it competes with the private sector. But MGM Resorts International has said room taxes should not be diverted to the stadium from the convention center project.

Conflicting polls released recently attempted to bolster the case for which facility Nevadans wanted more.

Global Strategy Group, in a poll funded by MGM Resorts, said it found that a “commanding majority” of Nevadans supported using room tax revenues to fund the expansion and renovation of the convention center.

On the other side, Morning Consult touted results of a poll conducted on behalf of Las Vegas Sands that said an “overwhelming majority” of Nevadans backed plans for a retractableroof stadium and the idea of relocating an NFL team to the Las Vegas area.

Support plummeted, however,when respondents were asked about whether public funding should be used.

Sands President Rob Goldstein told the infrastructure committee that the proposed stadium has a real shot at attracting an NFL team, and that his company was committed to trying to make it happen.

MGM Resorts President Bill Hornbuckle, a member of the committee, was skeptical that the stadium would draw in a significant number of other events that Las Vegas could not attract anyway.

Hyperloop Technologies gets $9.2 million in tax incentives Staff Writer

State officials have approved tax incentives worth an estimated $9.2 million for Hyperloop Technologies Inc., one of the teams competing to build a transportation platform that shoots pods through miles of enclosed pneumatic tubes.

The company, which is considering a 2-mile enclosed test track in North Las Vegas, is expected to spend more than $121 million on the project. The company hopes to make a final decision in the coming weeks.

The Hyperloop idea came from a design floated by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has described the pods as a mix between a Concorde supersonic passenger jet, a rail gun and an air hockey table. The frictionless, high-speed pods that could transport people and goods are cast as a safer and more efficient alternative to trains and other vehicles.

Brian Gaumer, director of test and development at Hyperloop Technologies, said the company was completing contracts and closing agreements.

It has been in talks with NV Energy and the Southern Nevada Water Authority to ensure utilities would be available. In February, the company submitted plans for the full-scale track with North Las Vegas.

In a letter to the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development, an executive with the company said the incentives were “a significant factor in the decision to locate in Nevada.”

The company is building an open-air test track at the Apex Industrial Park in North Las Vegas. It said it originally picked Apex, which also would be the site of the new project, in part because of the topography and the cost-competitive environment.

Apex has long struggled to attract development because of a lack of connected utilities. But Gaumer said Hyperloop was working to address those issues.

“We have been having conversations about infrastructure,” Gaumer said.

“But right now, we’ve been getting great cooperation with the Southern Nevada Water Authority and NV Energy, so we really do not see any major issues.”

In addition to the $9.2 million abatement on sales, business and property taxes, Hyperloop Technologies is eligible for a tax credit tied to employment and worth up to $750,000.

Gov. Brian Sandoval called the new technology “transformational.”

The track would largely be used for technology development. “We are tak-

ing a lot of existing technology and putting it on steroids,” Gaumer said.

Steve Hill, the state’s chief economic development official, applauded the cooperation among different parties, including the city, utilities and the Bureau of Land Management.

The project could create almost

100 jobs over the next two years.

A panel convened by the Governor’s Office of Economic Development also awarded tax abatements to five other companies with Northern Nevada operations during a recent meeting.

A snack company received tax incentives for new operations it’s planning in Northern Nevada. Mary’s

Gone Crackers Inc. was granted tax incentives worth an estimated $2 million.

The gluten-free snack manufacturer was considering relocating its headquarters from California. Instead, it now plans to invest about $19 million in Nevada over two years, creating more than 220 positions.

“City National provides me with solid solutions and a personal touch.”

Venue could accommodate wide range of events, including Final Four, hockey and movie premieres which is great. We want to work together collectively to make sure we have high-profile events in Las Vegas.

every detail, from corporate sponsorships to engineering.

A Kansas City, Mo., native, Faber spent more than a decade overseeing the construction and opening of that city’s 19,000-capacity Sprint Center arena, completed in 2007, before coming to Las Vegas in 2013.

Faber called T-Mobile Arena “one of the finest” of AEG’s 120 facilities worldwide. He said arena officials hoped to attract more than 100 events annually.

Faber recently spoke with VEGAS INC about finishing construction, upcoming events and the possibility of a professional sports team making T-Mobile its home.

What are your plans for Toshiba Plaza outside the stadium?

It’s 2 acres, so we could accommodate groups of 500 all the way to 5,000. It’s huge.

We’ll have a stage set up there.

Groups will have the opportunity to use that stage before or after an event inside the arena. Envision the Pac-12 basketball tournament. They could have a fan pep rally on the plaza, and they could use one, two or all three of the arena’s outside stage areas. It’s really cool.

We’re also going to lease the plaza for private events. Think about all of the conventions and conferences that come to town. We have an LED video wall, too — so we could have watch parties, for example, or we could have movie premieres.

Could you show the Super Bowl?

Conceivably, if we had the broadcast rights, we could do the Super Bowl or (NCAA Tournament) Final Four. If we get a hockey team and it is sold out inside but the team wants to broadcast on the LED video wall, we could do that, as well.

Was the arena designed with a hockey team in mind? If Las Vegas doesn’t get a team, will that be a problem?

No. Our arena was designed for 100 ticketed events each calendar year: 50 concerts, about 25 sporting events, 12 or so boxing and UFC matches, award shows and other events.

We seat 17,500 for hockey, 18,500

Was AEG involved in the decision to start charging for parking in MGM garages?

No, that was MGM’s decision, because it’s their resorts.

Construction of T-Mobile Arena is nearly complete, and Mark Faber, AEG’s senior vice president of global partnerships, says there’s no question it will be ready for its April 6 opening. (STEVE MARCUS/staff)

for basketball, 20,000 for boxing and UFC, and for in-stage concerts, we could do 10,000 to 12,000 plus.

Flexibility was the main key behind this building. We wanted to have flexibility to bring in professional bull riding, awards shows, etc.

If Las Vegas were to get an NHL team, would that hurt your ability to host other events?

The hockey team would work with us, their building owners, as well as the league to schedule home games.

We’d also have to reserve dates after the regular season, all the way through the Stanley Cup Finals, in case the team makes it. That’s where the challenge comes in. If you’re holding those dates and you’re trying to balance concerts, boxing and UFC, you have to build around those holds. Once your NHL team is out of contention, then those holds are released and you can book other events.

But some concerts want to book three months in advance, six months in advance or 12 months in advance.

So you have to work around it. And we want as much programming and content as we can get in there. If we could get bookings 365 days a year, we would. It’s just a function of the marketplace.

We could even do two events in one day. So, for example, Garth Brooks is coming Fourth of July weekend, and he has two concerts in one day.

At Staples Center, we’ll play a hockey

game and an NBA game in the same day. It’s just a conversion process.

What effect will T-Mobile have on the MGM Grand Garden Arena?

AEG now is partners with MGM and the Garden Arena, so we’re going to book that, too. A great example is the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley fight. It’s going to be April 9 at the Garden because we have Guns N’ Roses on April 8 and 9 at T-Mobile Arena. We wanted that fight to be in Las Vegas, so we booked it at the Grand Garden.

Also, take Black Sabbath. They sold out their show at Mandalay Bay in February, so they want to come back.

The September date they wanted was booked, so they’re playing at a great venue in the Garden Arena. Because we don’t want to lose those events, the arenas give us great flexibility.

What about the city’s other arenas? Will T-Mobile cannibalize the Thomas & Mack Center or Cashman Center?

No, Thomas & Mack has UNLV, the National Finals Rodeo and family events. It will continue to host those events, and it does have a future. That gives us, as a city, great flexibility.

We want to make sure we don’t cannibalize other venues. If an event is considering leaving the city, we’ll band together to say, “What can we do to keep these events in town?”

Did you encounter any surprises or challenges while engineering or building the arena?

Yeah, it’s like building a house. You have a plan, you have a design, but there will always be challenges along the way based on the timeline you set.

At the end of the day, this project will come in based on the timeline we had and the budget we designed.

And certainly, when we walk around the finished building, there will be issues we might notice that the general fan won’t. That’s what we call “Day 2.” We’ll need to fix or recalibrate a few things.

What will set T-Mobile apart?

In our world, it’s all about the guest experience. We want to have guests feel comfortable and safe. We think this will transcend the marketplace.

For example, our facility will have 30 doors in one entrance. So that gives us flexibility. Depending on our crowd size, we may use 10 to 15 or 20 to 30, so people don’t have to wait in line. We have wide concourses, whereas older arenas are designed with much narrower concourses.

Levy Restaurants is our concession partner, and they’re going to offer unique food offerings. So, for example, on the main concourse, we’ll have Shake Shack. On the south side, Pizza Forte.

How many times when you go into an arena, you can’t leave until the game is over? Some arenas might have a terrace on one level or maybe two; we have terraces on all four levels. You get a view of the Strip on the east and a view of the mountains on the west.

In real estate, it’s location, location, location, and the fact that we’re right off of Interstate-15, it’s perfectly located. People can walk from the Strip to find an easy way to the arena. Or if you want to get car service, you can get there as well.

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.
