Q&A with michelle jackson

Giving children tools to achieve their dreams Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park teaches children how to manage finances within a budget, with the goal of preparing them to be fiscally responsible adults. The program is a favorite of Michelle Jackson, president of Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada.

Do you have any news you’d like to share?

Almost 4,000 students participated in our recent Capital One/JA Finance Park mobile, which teaches personal money management skills.

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

I would want to change the pace we live our lives. Many of us are going so quickly we’ve lost the ability to connect with one another in meaningful ways.

I want to understand why it’s the best way to do something, and if it’s not, then let’s discuss how we can make it better. By listening to others’ insights, we can learn from their experiences and avoid pitfalls. At the end of the day, I may have to make a decision that doesn’t win favor with my team, but they know I considered their opinions and have all of our best interests in mind.

What is your dream job, outside of your current field?

To own an art-based business and be able to create artwork through my favorite mediums of painting and refinishing. It’s therapeutic, and you share a common soul string when someone loves what you’ve created. It’s like giving the person a piece of who you are.

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

It would always be a choice of where my loved ones live. I can think of many places I’ve seen and loved the natural environment of, but without the people I care about most, it would never satisfy me.

Whom do you admire and why?

I admire the people who serve on our board of directors at Junior Achievement. I have never experienced such complete dedication from a group.

They give up time with their families and friends to make our community a better place for everyone.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

Lack of consideration for others and not taking the time to consider how your choices will affect those around you.

Where do you like to go for business lunches?

My favorite spots are Khoury’s and Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza.

What is something people might not know about you?

I grew up in a small town in Northern Nevada with only 75 people in my high school graduating class, and I went to both UNR and UNLV.

The concept sprouted in 2010 after I had hit a wall trying to find healthy food options that were fast and convenient. It began to take root over the next few years with a compilation of recipes and notes that I scribbled as I cooked for family and friends, and random visions of design. In 2012, I had premature twins and my hobby turned into a fervent passion. My twins were born at 27 weeks with life-threatening complications. I read every book on health I could get my hands on, looking to ensure I gave my babies every chance at a healthy life. Outside of love, it became obvious that a nutritious diet was the best thing I could do for my babies to overcome any issues they may have due to their prematurity. When they began pre-K and I couldn’t take them anywhere for a healthy snack, I decided to take the concept from notes to reality.

What is cold-pressed juice?

Cold-pressed juice is a process in which tons of pressure is applied to fresh fruits and veggies via a hydraulic press to extract their juice, without the application of nutrientkilling heat. You’re left with unprocessed, antioxidantrich, liquid goodness that hits you on a cellular level.

What is your business philosophy?

We believe in the importance of fueling our bodies with real food, direct from Mother Nature.

We make everything in house from scratch and without unnatural and unhealthy fillers. If it’s not nutritious, we won’t serve it. And contrary to some people’s opinion, healthy doesn’t have to be tasteless.

What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?

It can be frustrating at times to compete in a market with businesses that aren’t transparent about the products they serve. It is difficult to bite your tongue knowing what others market as healthy is far from it.

What is the best part about doing business here?

Las Vegans tend to support movements with passion.

The food movement is just making way and the community is definitely embracing it. Being able to provide a nutritious option in fast food and seeing such a positive response is gratifying. We are opening our second location soon at Town Square and have no plans to stop there.

With new corporate name, Station Casinos IPO raises more than $531 million By j.d. morris Staff Writer

Shares of Red Rock Resorts Inc., the new corporate name of Station Casinos, began publicly trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market late last month after the company raised more than $531 million in its initial public offering.

The Las Vegas-based company announced that it and existing shareholders had priced 27.25 million shares at $19.50 apiece, right in the middle of the expected range of $18 to $21.

Red Rock’s shares, traded under the symbol RRR, were down 4.1 percent to $18.70 at the close of its first day on the market.

In connection with the IPO, Red Rock has said it planned to buy Fertitta Entertainment, the Fertitta family company that has managed Station’s business, for $460 million, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CEO Frank Fertitta III and his brother Lorenzo, a director of the company, each will receive $113.5 million of those proceeds after debt is paid off, the filings said. Trusts for their six children will receive $106.8 million.

Fertitta family entities are expected to hold about 87 percent of the voting power after the IPO. “We believe the owner-operator dynamic of the Fertitta family’s continued leadership, together with its significant ownership, results in a high degree of alignment with our shareholders,” the company said in SEC filings.

This isn’t the first time Station has been a public company: It previously went public in 1993 but was taken private in a management-led buyout in 2007. Wounded by the recession, Station filed for bankruptcy protection in 2009 and completed a restructuring in 2011.

Marc Falcone, Station’s chief financial officer, told state gaming regulators in January that the company had seen consistent revenue growth recently and that its operating margins had “improved dramatically.”

Station significantly reduced its leverage and cut debt by more than $400 million, which gave the company “one of the best balance sheets in the gaming industry today,” he said.

Station owns 19 large and small casinos in Southern Nevada, including its flagship Red Rock Resort in Summerlin, Green Valley Ranch in Henderson and the off-Strip Palace Station on Sahara Avenue.

Despite its new corporate name, the company still will be known to customers as Station Casinos, officials have said.

The IPO has been met with criticism from the Unite Here union, whose Las Vegas affiliates — the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 and the Bartenders Union Local 165 — have long clashed with Station as they have attempted to organize there.

A Unite Here gaming analyst said in a statement last month that there were “many red flags surrounding this pricey second-class IPO.” The union cited concerns about the Fertitta Entertainment transaction, the health of the Las Vegas locals gaming market and other issues.

Station’s IPO follows another one the previous week from MGM Growth Properties LLC, the new real estate subsidiary of MGM Resorts International. MGM Growth Properties priced its IPO at $21 per share, the high end of its expectations, and raised more than $1 billion.

An expansion project at Tivoli Village is shown under construction in 2015. (mikayla whitmore/staff file)

Tivoli Village expansion set to open in October By eli segall Staff Writer

Owners of Tivoli Village have announced plans to open the Las Vegas property’s expansion, but their confirmed tenant lineup appears sparse.

The expansion — part of Tivoli’s original plans last decade but shelved during the recession — would add roughly 300,000 square feet to the Mediterranean-themed retail and office project at Rampart Boulevard and Alta Drive.

The new portion is expected to open in October, according to a news release.

Upscale home-furnishings retailer Restoration Hardware plans to open a store in the expansion site, and Canter’s Deli, a Jewish-style eatery from Los Angeles, plans to open a restaurant there, as well.

The news release did not name any other tenants for the expansion, which is being built off Rampart, north of Tivoli’s existing buildings.

But it unveiled a crop of real estate brokers who, in working to sign tenants, would use “their expertise to help fully realize the completed vision of Tivoli,” according to Noam Ziv, CEO of Tivoli owner IDB Group USA. The expansion has been a long time coming. Built during the boom years last decade, Tivoli was supposed to open in 2009 with about 500,000 square feet of retail and 200,000 square feet of offices, but the real estate bust and recession threw a wrench in those plans.

Developers considered mothballing the project, as other investors did with partially built projects throughout the valley,

but chose to build in phases instead.

The first portion opened in spring 2011.

Management said in fall 2012 that the second and final phase — the current expansion — was expected to be completed in late 2013. But construction didn’t begin until fall 2013, and at that time, the developers expected to finish in spring 2015.

Besides Restoration Hardware and Canter’s Deli, other tenants for the new portion have reportedly been in the works at one point or another.

A real estate broker told VEGAS INC last summer that hotel group Kimpton — known for sleek designs, pet-friendly properties and, as the broker put it, “good people watching” — had been in talks to open a hotel there in late 2016 or early 2017.

At the time, a Kimpton spokesperson said, “We don’t have any news to share. ... I look forward to talking with you down the road.”

Also, New York brokerage firm the Carlton Group said in 2014 that discount clothing chain H&M had signed a lease for a 25,000-square-foot store at Tivoli’s expansion site.

Carlton disclosed the news as part of the announcement that IDB, an Israeli conglomerate, had hired Carlton to sell a 50 percent stake in its Las Vegas real estate holdings, including Tivoli.

H&M, however, announced in February that it planned to open a 20,000-squarefoot store this year at Downtown Summerlin, an open-air mall about 4 miles from Tivoli on Sahara Avenue at the 215 Beltway.

Allegiant boss gets near-$3 million bonus By eli segall Staff Writer

Reaping a windfall from record profits, Allegiant Air boss Maurice “Maury” Gallagher booked a nearly $3 million bonus last year, far above his usual payout, the company disclosed.

Gallagher, chairman and CEO of parent Allegiant Travel Co., doesn’t take a base salary but is the lowcost carrier’s largest shareholder. With 20.5 percent of its stock, his holdings were valued around $545 million.

He also has received a bonus almost every year since 2007. It normally ranged between $100,000 and $200,000 until it bounced up to around $547,000 in 2014, securities filings show.

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gallagher received a bonus of $2,926,633 last year.

In the filing, Las Vegas-based Allegiant said the 66-year-old Gallagher “expects to continue to serve without a base salary into the future.” Allegiant’s compensation committee included him last year in the “cash bonus pool and also granted him stockbased awards to reward him for our company’s industry-leading profit margins,” the filing said.

The filing also said Gallagher was expected to “participate in future equity grants and the annual

cash bonus” at the committee’s discretion, and the amount he received “will depend on our profitability in relation to our expectations and other relevant factors.”

Allegiant, with low base fares and a bevy of addon fees, flies mostly from small, underserved cities to warm-weather vacation spots. The carrier booked $220 million in profit last year — more than 2 1/2 times above the nearly $87 million it earned in 2014.

The soaring profits came amid plunging fuel costs.

Allegiant consumed about 150 million gallons of jet fuel last year, up 16 percent from 2014, but overall it spent $278 million on fuel, down 28 percent.

Its average cost per gallon last year was $1.86, down 38 percent from 2014.

News of Gallagher’s bonus comes after Allegiant announced in March that he had sold 292,200 shares of Allegiant stock at a price of $163.50 apiece, generating a $47.8 million payday.

Allegiant said Gallagher planned “to use the proceeds primarily to retire outstanding debt for existing personal ventures.”

“I remain as committed to Allegiant as the day I started with the company,” Gallagher said in the news release announcing the sale. “The Allegiant business model has demonstrated its resiliency in any environment and is only getting stronger.”

Investors purchase 800 acres at auction By eli segall Staff Writer

After passing on hundreds of acres at government auctions last year, Las Vegas land investors scooped up almost everything offered last month and paid above the asking price.

The Bureau of Land Management said it sold 818.66 acres at auction for $94.5 million combined. The federal agency offered 846.16 acres for no less than $85.4 million combined.

All of the successful bidders have paid the required 20 percent of their purchase price, the BLM said. The remainder is due within 180 days, or by Oct. 24.

The buyers included homebuilders American West Homes and D.R. Horton, commercial developer Lewis Group of Companies and apartment developer Nevada West Partners.

In May 2015, investors bought almost 358 acres at auction for $19.2 million, passing on 240 acres. In November, about 260 acres sold for $32.6 million, leaving 365 acres on the table.

Raiders owner says he is willing to spend $500 million to move NFL team to Las Vegas By j.d. morris Staff Writer

Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis said recently he was serious about moving his team to Las Vegas and offered a half-billion-dollar pledge for a proposed $1.4 billion, 65,000-seat domed football stadium.

Davis told an influential tourism committee gathered at UNLV that the Raiders would put up $500 million toward the stadium if Nevada legislators approved public funding for the project and other NFL owners allowed the team to relocate.

Those significant obstacles would remain in the way of the stadium project, even after it’s been thoroughly vetted by the tourism panel.

“We do want to be your partners.

We’re not coming in looking for a free handout,” Davis said. “I want to tell you what I told Gov. Sandoval a few weeks ago: Together, we can turn the Silver State into the Silver and Black State.”

Overall, the stadium would be paid for with $750 million in public money and $650 million in private funds, backers told the 11-member committee of leaders from Nevada’s public and private sectors.

The public portion of the stadium cost could come from taxes on hotel rooms. Some $200 million of the Raiders’ contribution would come from an NFL loan.

Davis appeared alongside soccer star David Beckham, as well as executives from casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Majestic Realty Co. and others, to make the case for the proposed stadium.

Sands and Majestic would most likely build the facility on 42 acres owned by UNLV on Tropicana Avenue near Koval Lane. The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee could help them secure some public money for the project, though it does not have the final say.

While the idea of the Raiders moving to Las Vegas has been met with some skepticism about whether NFL owners would allow a team in the U.S. gambling capital, Davis said he would make the league an “offer they can’t refuse.” He also said a move to Las Vegas would be a “lifetime commitment” for him.

If built, the stadium would host UNLV football games and other large

events, but its most-discussed use would be for an NFL team — specifically the Raiders. Beckham, who has had a professional relationship with Sands in Asia, also addressed its potential to host big soccer matches.

“To bring a great organization like the Raiders to somewhere like Vegas is incredible but ... it’s bigger than that. It’s a bigger idea. It’s about the MLS coming here; it’s about bringing the biggest European teams here,” Beckham said.

Committee members — including elected officials and resort executives — pressed for more details on such areas as the project’s funding and the timeline for getting NFL approval to move the Raiders. Among the members, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and UNLV President Len Jessup appeared to be particularly enthusiastic supporters.

Steve Hill, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, who chairs the committee, said he wanted to meet with stadium backers soon to develop a separate analysis that the panel could consider at a later meeting. That would resemble the approach the panel has taken to another big-ticket proposal — the expansion and renovation of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The stadium proposal took a big step forward with Davis’ appearance at UNLV, but it is by no means a sure thing.

Even if it receives a favorable recommendation from the infrastructure committee, the project likely

will require a special session of the Legislature to secure funding in a timely fashion. And a relocation of the Raiders would need approval from 24 of the NFL’s 32 team owners.

Supporters were confident those hurdles could be overcome.

Sands and Majestic have proposed the creation of a Clark County Stadium Authority that would be in charge of designing, financing, building and operating the new stadium. The authority would be made up of five members — two appointed by Sands and Majestic, two appointed by Gov. Brian Sandoval and one appointed by the Clark County Commission.

The companies would want a tax increment district in the area around the stadium. Details would still need to be ironed out, but Majestic executive Craig Cavileer said the district would help the stadium’s private backers get a return on their investment.

“We invest $650 million, and in return we have a stadium that we operate. And we also have the tax district, which gives us a refund, if you will, on an annualized basis for whatever increment we create,” Cavileer said at a news conference.

“We created the increment; we’d like to have that in order to create a revenue stream to fund the property,” he said.

Even before Davis and Beckham came into the meeting, a contingent of Raider fans was on hand nearby to show support for bringing the team to Las Vegas. One of them, local resi-

dent Richard Cervera, 47, stood outside the meeting room holding a sign that showed the Raiders logo surrounded by the outline of Nevada in black.

Cervera said the Raiders “would do a lot for Las Vegas,” including offering another attractive activity for tourists. But he wasn’t convinced the team would actually move here.

“It’s a coin flip,” he said. “I’m hoping.”

The stadium wasn’t the only item on the agenda for the infrastructure committee. The meeting began with a discussion about the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority’s $1.4 billion plan to expand and renovate its convention center.

The authority wants to build a convention facility at the site of the shuttered Riviera and renovate its facility across Paradise Road.

Hill introduced a proposal for funding that work. The proposal, as fleshed out further by Jeremy Aguero of Applied Analysis, involves a 0.5 percent to 0.6 percent increase in the room tax rate and capping the local government room tax collection allowance at $25 million annually.

Backers of the convention center and stadium projects have clashed at times, as both have indicated they may need room tax money.

MGM Resorts International has been a vocal supporter of the convention center, with CEO Jim Murren arguing forcefully against diverting room tax dollars from that project toward the stadium plan.

A spokesman for MGM Resorts emailed a statement after the meeting saying the infrastructure committee had “unanimously signaled a consensus” that the convention center project should move forward.

“We are as excited as everyone in having David Beckham and the leadership of the Raiders come to our town, but we are even more pleased and excited to witness the commitment to the convention and trade show industry that supports tens of thousands of jobs and opportunities for everyone in our community,” the statement said.

The infrastructure committee can’t give final approval to either project, but it will send recommendations on those and other proposals to the governor in July.

Wi-Fi becoming a factor in dining decisions consumers. While digital pioneers like national pizza chains are recognized for well-integrated technology, relatively few consumers strongly agreed that a restaurant they recently visited used technology to improve their experience, indicating a big opportunity across the industry.

“Technology-friendly service in restaurants has become important to consumers broadly, and to millennials and Generation Z customers, it’s essential,” says Colleen Rothman, manager of consumer insights for Technomic. “Consumers will continue to look to pizza chains and fastcasual brands for the latest and greatest digital platforms, but they also will expect all restaurants to integrate many technologies that have become At Eatsa, a quinoa restaurant in San Francisco, customers order, pay and receive a fact of daily life everywhere.

Bloom and his colleagues work with many technology companies looking to invest in and enter the restaurant space, and he says they are “amazed at how rudimentary and un-user-friendly much of the current technology is in the restaurant space.” As more technology companies enter the restaurant arena, he believes, “we may see a dramatic acceleration in the speed at which different technologies are introduced, tested and deployed at scale.”

A word of caution may be in order.

Hard as it may be to believe today, not everyone is comfortable with technology in a dining-out setting. William V. Eaton, chairman of the board of Cini-Little International Inc., a Maryland-based restaurant consultancy, says he wants “as little visible IT as possible associated with my meal in a restaurant. I want the talent to experiment with the meal and make every one superior to the last while staying true to the principals of the original item. I do not want to order on a smartphone or at a kiosk.

I don’t want a robot coming to the table and asking me and my guests, ‘Who ordered the fish?’ They can use as much technology in accounting, social media and for analyzing their results as they can, but don’t take the “culinary” out of dining.”

Restaurants can use technologies most effectively by making sure to choose vendors “that put the emphasis on the guest experience and not the technology,” says Brandon Hull, founder of NextRestaurants, a marketing consultancy. “Too many online ordering platforms, for example, first require an online customer to provide their email address and select a location before ordering. Those are two things that don’t happen in the real world of the dining experience. Mimicking that experience is extremely important for the foreseeable future. It’s about speed and patron convenience.”
