I admire Blake Sartini of Golden Gaming. He’s a man’s man who knows how to enjoy life. A maven of many disciplines, he can go on a hunting trek in search of a state record, put together a mean wardrobe and plan the food and wine for a private dinner. He is an aggressive businessman and a dedicated family man. Pretty good joke teller to top it off.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

People in power who mistreat other people. I recall being in the service industry when I was younger and watched well-healed patrons completely break down the servers.

I used some of that to fuel my ambition. I also am irked by people with poor manners and a lack of respect for elders.

What is something that people might not know about you?

I used to own a juvenile Tyrannosaurus bataar (grandfather of the T-Rex). I had the skull showcased in my home saloon. I ended up selling it in 2009 to an oil-sands tycoon from Canada. It was around 60 million years old and was a juvenile when it perished. It stands 8 feet tall and is around 16 feet long. My kids would tell their teachers that we had a real dinosaur at the house. I can imagine the teacher rolling her eyes.

Some of our Las Vegas clients include Wynn Resorts, The Cosmopolitan, Mandarin Oriental, The Mansion at MGM, Delano, Mandalay Bay, Vdara, The Venetian and Hard Rock Hotel.

We have just completed designing a beautiful collection of custom bed linens for the Villas at the Mirage.

I was asked by one of my catering clients based in the D.C. area to help custom-design place mats for the nuclear summit. I was sent photos of the presidential china, and between myself, the caterer and Hillary Clinton, who was then secretary of state, the place mats were designed. About two years later, the White House requested custom linens from us again, this time for the G8 Summit. We have seen many photos of those place mats used in various dinners at the White House. It is still a thrill every time one of those photos pops up.

What is your business philosophy?

What makes your design style unique?

Customer service is paramount and quality is key. We are committed to providing linens that are as durable as they are beautiful. We strive to maintain a positive and creative work environment, and this is reflected in our designs.

We create high fashion for the table and bed; the difference between us and other linen suppliers is that we custom-design each and every table and bed linen exclusively for a particular property. We collaborate with each property to translate their vision into reality, creating linens that balance aesthetic and budget requirements.

How has your experience in fashion helped you?

I spent many years in the fashion industry while living in New York and abroad, and was fortunate to have worked with some of the great designers of our time, including Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Thierry Mugler, Issey Miyake and the late Isaia Rankin. Working for these designers as a model, I was there, up close and personal, while they sketched and dreamed up their latest collections, and I had the opportunity to wear these great pieces of art. I was exposed to high fashion at such an early age, and with that I developed my fashion sensibility and attention to detail. That exposure has had a tremendous influence on what I do now.

Your work was featured at the White House. How did that opportunity come about?

How can Nevada improve its business climate?

Keep it fresh. Continue evolving and pushing the creative envelope. Steve Wynn is the perfect example of just how to do this. He is always revamping and updating his properties to keep them exciting and new.

What have you learned from the recession?

Never put all of your eggs in one basket. You must try and branch out and provide your services and products in other markets. You must be able to offer diversity in terms of product line and at various price points. Finally, we never forgot our retailers and event designers who put us in business 16 years ago and continue to carry our collection to this day.

Alternative stadium plan cuts public funding by $200 million

By J.D. MORRIS STAFF WRITER

The head of an influential state tourism panel suggested slashing the amount of public money for a proposed domed football stadium by $200 million, triggering strong pushback from the project’s private backers.

At a meeting of the Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee, Chairman Steve Hill introduced an alternative plan to fund the much-debated 65,000-seat stadium that could attract the Oakland Raiders to Las Vegas. The plan was not received well by representatives of the Raiders and the two companies teaming up to back the project, Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Majestic Realty Co. The alternative entails using $550 million in money through hotel-room taxes rather than the $750 million initially proposed.

Under the alternative plan, the project cost would total $1.45 billion, which includes $50 million for land acquisition and $100 million for a practice facility.

The Raiders would be responsible for $500 million, while Sands and Majestic would contribute $400 million.

According to details of the plan further fleshed out by Jeremy Aguero of Applied Analysis, private backers could receive a 9 percent return on their investment. Any revenue available beyond that would be split 50-50 between the development partners and the public sector, Aguero said.

Aguero said the public portion of the stadium cost could be funded with room-tax increases of 0.7 percent on the Las Vegas Strip and 0.5 percent in off-Strip areas of the valley. Sands and Majestic were seeking a uniform room-tax increase of about 1 percent, he said.

As with the initial proposal from Sands and Majestic, the alternative plan also includes a taxincrement area that would capture revenue from sales taxes, live entertainment taxes and modified business taxes. The tax area would include the footprint of the stadium and related practice facilities, according to Aguero’s presentation.

Executives from the private entities pushing for the football stadium said they had only received the alternative plan one day earlier, and they expressed general discontent with its contents.

Raiders President Marc Badain told the committee that while his team remained excited about the stadium, it was “disappointed by what we saw today.” He said the Raiders had received “very positive” feedback from others in the NFL, and he indicated that the potential $750 million public contribution was a big part of that.

“The signal that today will send, bringing the 750 down to the 550, will be negative,” Badain said. “It will be perceived as a negative. So we need to be cognizant of that and what that does

to the process.”

NFL support is a crucial step in order for the Raiders to relocate to Las Vegas: The team would need 24 of 32 team owners to vote in favor of the move. (Even before that, the stadium project needs to be vetted by the infrastructure committee and ultimately OK’d by the Nevada Legislature, likely during a special session.)

At the same time, Majestic Executive Vice President Craig Cavileer reminded the committee that the private backers would be on the hook for any cost overruns. But in his view, the $400 million that the alternative plan proposed to come from Sands and Majestic was too high of a starting point.

Andy Abboud, Sands’ senior vice president of government relations, also sought to push back against cynicism over the involvement of his company and its leader, Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson, in the stadium plans.

“This is not a get-rich-quick scheme; this is a get-poor-quick scheme that there are no really good returns on,” Abboud said. “I know there’s cynicism about subsidizing a billionaire, but you’re not.”

Abboud said no one at Sands would come to Adelson with a project as costly as the stadium that would only offer a 9 percent return. He said there were “no nefarious intentions by Mr. Adelson to get rich” off the stadium.

The private backers were not the only ones who received the alternative plan negatively.

Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak, a member of the infrastructure committee, said earlier in the meeting that he did not want the stadium to become “the Hill-Aguero proposal” and that he and other members of the panel were not given enough input.

Later, Sisolak raised the possibility of expanding the proposed tax-increment area to help make the funding plan more palatable. That conversation also highlighted a major uncertainty for the potential stadium: the exact spot where it would be built.

Initial talks about the stadium focused on a 42-acre site that UNLV owns on Tropicana Avenue near Koval Lane, but concerns about that land’s proximity to McCarran International Airport helped lead stadium boosters to publicly discuss other possibilities.

Those include the site formerly home to the Riviera hotel-casino and MGM Resorts International’s festival grounds across the street from SLS Las Vegas.

Of all the possibilities — another of which is the Cashman Center site — it remains uncertain which is the most feasible. Cavileer said the stadium backers wouldn’t have a site finalized this month, when the committee meets again, although he said it could be able to return with a handful of finalists to inform future discussions.

Panelists: Language, education holding Hispanics back in Nevada workforce

By ChriS KUDIALIS Staff Writer

Higher wages, more formal education and a stronger connectivity with Nevada’s English-speaking community will drive future wealth among Nevada’s growing Hispanic population, business leaders and community representatives said during a panel discussion at the Las Vegas Latin Chamber of Commerce.

“We need more vibrant entrepreneurs and more access to capital, and that starts with having the right connections,” chamber President Peter Guzman said.

More than 71 percent of Latinos are members of the Nevada workforce, compared with 63 percent of all Nevadans, according to a release from the National Council of La Raza, which is based in Washington, D.C. “We’re a community that works hard, whether it’s one job, two jobs or three jobs,” Guzman said. “We’re entrepreneurs and we do what it takes to support our families.”

But the median household income for Latino families is just under $47,000, compared with $51,000 for all Nevadans, the release noted.

Much of the disparity is the result of a language barrier that impedes cultural integration, affects education and generally leads to lower-paying jobs, panelists said.

Beyond impediments in the workplace and classroom, Hispanics also have been victimized by scammers, panelists said.

Viridiana Vidal, state director at America’s Voice and a former Univision producer, said Hispanics, especially seniors, in Nevada were prime victims of scams.

Vidal said phony real estate agents and bankers have asked for as much as $30,000 for a down payment on a home. The victims pay the money and never hear from the person again.

Threatening phone calls from scammers pretending to be from the IRS also have cost Hispanics millions of dollars a year, Vidal said.

That can set families back years, she added.

“It’s important that we educate the community about this, because it’s still going on.”

Other panelists said poor education was hindering Hispanics.

“Education is key to building economic sustainability for our state and our communities,” business consultant Leo Murrieta said. “We need to put a focus on that.”

Panelists also emphasized the importance of reforming immigration policy.

“It has to be a priority, so more people can work freely and eventually move into good citizenship,” said Otto Merida, the chamber’s former president.

For sale: Las Vegas residential lot with criminal ties

By Eli Segall Staff Writer

Looking to buy a slice of sordid Las Vegas crime history?

The vacant lot for sale at 2121 Geronimo Way, just over the fence from Las Vegas National Golf Club, is covered in weeds, sits near stylish, 1960s-era houses and is listed for $253,600, a hefty markup over what the current owners spent.

It’s linked to notorious motherand-son grifters who, before they were sentenced to at least 120 years in prison each, left a trail of murder, arson, theft, insurance scams, bounced checks and even slavery in their wake.

The property has changed hands several times since, and the current owners live in Canada.

The crime spree by Sante Kimes, who died in her prison cell in 2014 at age 79, and her son Kenneth Kimes Jr. was heavily documented — in news articles, books, a “60 Minutes” segment, even a TV movie starring Mary Tyler Moore.

(The movie, “Like Mother, Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Kimes,” was a “low-rent psychological drama,” according to Variety.)

Sante Kimes was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Las Vegas, and more

than a few of her crimes were tied to the house in Paradise Palms, just east of the Boulevard mall. According to reports in The New York Times: In the early 1980s, she and her husband, Kenneth Kimes, bought a 4,000-square-foot house at 2121 Geronimo Way. Roughly 15 years later, after Kenneth died, Sante obtained a mortgage on the property and listed Robert McCarren, whom she had found in a local homeless shelter, on the title as the home’s owner.

She obtained fire insurance in McCarren’s name, and about two weeks later, the house was torched in an arson. McCarren later told investigators that Kimes “held him captive, beat him and forced him to memorize prepared lies for the inevitable questions,” the Times reported.

Kimes used the name of David Kazdin, a Los Angeles businessman whom she knew, to secure the mortgage. After learning of the loan — and possibly confronting Kimes and her son, investigators suspected — Kazdin was found dead in a garbage bin at Los Angeles International Airport.

Kenneth Jr. later admitted that he killed him.

According to reports, the family’s

other crimes included: • In the mid-1980s, when Kenneth Jr. was around 10 years old, Sante Kimes and her husband were charged with enslaving several Mexican women whom they had smuggled into the United States. Her husband received a three-year suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a $70,000 fine, but Sante got five years in prison.

• In 1998, around the time Kazdin was killed, Sante Kimes bought a Lincoln Town Car from an auto dealer in Utah with a check for $14,900 that bounced. Not long after, Sante bought an $80,000 motor home in Florida with another bad check.

• Also in 1998, Sante Kimes and her son were charged with murdering 82-year-old Irene Silverman, of New York, in a plot to take her Upper East Side townhouse. Her body wasn’t found, but Kenneth Jr. told a jury that, after his mom hit Silverman in the head with a stun-gun, he strangled the widowed socialite, wrapped her body in garbage bags and dumped her in a trash bin in Hoboken, N.J. Ultimately, Sante Kimes was sentenced to 120 years in prison, and her son got about 125 years, reports said.

The 0.3-acre property at 2121

Geronimo Way has been empty for some time. A demolition permit for a “burned residence” was issued in late 2000, Clark County records show, and the site’s current listing agent, Malcolm Boot, said he didn’t know the last time a house stood there.

Despite its unusual past, the property’s more recent history is similar to that of countless others in the Las Vegas Valley: soaring values followed by foreclosure, plunging prices and then a climb from the depths.

According to county records, the property sold for $146,000 in 2000 and then $300,000 in 2005, but was seized through foreclosure in 2008.

It sold for $45,000 in 2009, $72,000 a few months later and then $90,000 in 2014 to a married couple in British Columbia, who are trying to sell for nearly three times what they paid.

Just looking at the site, the average passerby would have no idea it was tied to a notorious criminal family.

Perhaps fittingly, though, a “warning” sign is fastened to a light pole there, saying that a neighborhoodwatch program is “in force.”

“We immediately report all SUSPICIOUS PERSONS and activities to our Police Dept.,” the sign says.

Commentary: Hockey may face uphill climb, but let’s hope it sticks By eli segall Staff Writer

When Las Vegas’ NHL team hits the ice next year, fans will get a closeup view of perhaps the most exciting team sport around.

They’ll buy shirts and jerseys, scarf down food, guzzle booze and cheer the action — assuming, that is, the arena is packed with fans for years to come.

As a lifelong fan of the game, I’m excited to be able to watch pro hockey live, as it’s way better in person than on TV. (Anyone remember the “glowing puck” of the 1990s?) Locals who have never been to an NHL game will be wowed by the players’ skating speed, puck movement, shot-blocking, goaltending and overall athleticism.

As a business reporter, though, I look at a Las Vegas NHL team through another lens, and two main questions linger. As many have wondered: Will locals buy tickets in droves? And will tourists want to spend a night watching hockey here?

Hockey is far less popular than other sports nationally, and according to

federal data, 30 percent of the valley’s workforce is in leisure and hospitality. Many people work nights, when NHL games are played.

Moreover, the Strip already is packed with entertainment options, and visitors flock to Sin City to do things they can’t do at home.

At least initially, the sport’s novelty in Las Vegas will draw fans, and people will turn out simply to watch the first major-league sports team based in America’s gambling mecca. But overall, 5 percent of U.S. adults say hockey is their favorite sport.

That’s tied for fifth with men’s pro basketball, below auto racing (6 percent), college football (10 percent), baseball (15 percent) and the longreigning champ, pro football (33 percent), according to the Harris Poll.

Tourists would almost surely go to hockey games here, helping make up for a possible shortfall in ticket sales to locals. There would even be people who plan their trips around NHL games, and it doesn’t hurt that Canadians are the biggest group of foreign tourists here.

About 1.9 million people visited Las Vegas from Canada in 2014, comprising 30.7 percent of all foreign visitors, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

Still, there’s a reason people visit Las Vegas: It’s an adult Disneyland, with nightclubs, restaurants, strip clubs, Cirque du Soleil shows, comedy acts, concerts and, of course, gambling.

How many of them would want to spend three hours one night, during one of the few nights they’re here, watching a hockey game?

That being said, as a fan, I can only hope hockey takes off in Las Vegas.

My family is obsessed with the sport. My grandfathers played hockey, my dad and uncles grew up in Detroit playing hockey, and my brothers and I grew up in the Bay Area playing the sport. My older brother and I still skate in beer leagues; our younger brother works in college hockey, and our brother-in-law plays goalie in recreational games (whether he stops any shots is another issue).

Growing up near San Jose, I also

got to see how the NHL fared in a nontraditional market, with the San Jose Sharks.

On the ice, the team was atrocious at first — the Sharks set an NHL record for losses, 71, in their second season. But they made the playoffs their third season and eventually became a regular contender (and playoff flameout). This year, for the first time in their 25-year history, the Sharks made it to the Stanley Cup finals.

Financially, Forbes magazine says the Sharks are worth $445 million, 14th in the 30-team league. That’s ahead of teams in such traditional markets as Calgary, Minnesota and Ottawa.

Does hockey fit better in San Jose than in Las Vegas? Perhaps. But if the sport catches on here, at the very least, more kids would play hockey, more rinks would get built and locals would have a big-league team to rally around, something they’ve never had before.

It’s also a good, albeit expensive, experiment: Can NHL hockey survive in a tourism-dependent, desert city?

We’ll get the answer soon enough.

Three throwbacks shutter as Downtown Las Vegas transformation marches on

By J.D. Morris Staff Writer

Downtown Las Vegas bid farewell to three long-running businesses in late June, as the Mermaids and La Bayou casinos closed along with the Girls of Glitter Gulch strip club.

They’re nowhere near the scale of the Riviera, recently demolished on the Strip, but their departure is nonetheless sentimental.

“We’re the last of a dying breed down there,” said Rudy Nino, general manager of all three businesses since 2008.

“We’re the only place on Fremont that has slot machines-only. We don’t have table games, we don’t have a fancy restaurant, we don’t have a hotel. ... We’re kind of unique in that way.”

The businesses were sold in April to Derek and Greg Stevens, who also own the Golden Gate, the D and the shuttered Las Vegas Club nearby. The brothers are planning to develop a new hotel-casino in the area.

Little else is known about their vision, or on what timeline it will play out. Derek Stevens has said the new development would likely include a combination of demolition, renovation and new construction. For him, the purchase presented an opportunity to “create a project that’s bigger and a different scope” than the Las Vegas Club neighboring Glitter Gulch and Mermaids.

La Bayou, meanwhile, is across the street — right next to the Stevens’ Golden Gate casino. That has created the possibility that the Golden Gate could “evolve” in some fashion as well.

“At this point, I’m still in the same position where there’s a number of things The Mermaids Casino, as well as La Bayou and Glitter Gulch on the Fremont that need to evolve now. Now that we Street Experience, closed June 27, as Derek and Greg Stevens plan to build a new really have a larger real estate footprint, hotel-casino in the area.

sial implementation of performance zones for street entertainers.

Recent gambling and tourism figures also tell a largely positive story.

Gaming revenue downtown rose 6 percent to $541.8 million last year, and it’s also up about 5 percent for the six-month period from November through April of this year.

Schwartz noted that the downtown gaming market outperformed both the Las Vegas Strip and the state overall during the most recently reported six-month stretch. Maybe because it was more successful in attracting gamblers, he said.

“The Strip is clearly not just focusing on gambling anymore — they’re doing a lot of stuff,” Schwartz said, referring to nightclubs, dining, retail and so forth. “I think downtown, to a large extent, is still very focused on and hospitable to gamblers.”

Additionally, hotel-room occupancy downtown rose 3.5 percent in 2015, while the average daily room rate increased 5 percent, according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. Through April, occupancy was up 2.7 percent, and the average daily rate was up 11.2 percent, figures from the authority show.

“I think downtown is going to continue to grow,” Stevens said. “There’s an awful lot of energy downtown with different entrepreneurs and different levels of investment that the hotel-casino guys are putting into Fremont.”

Stevens and his brother have played a big role in that investment, starting with their involvement in the Golden Gate and continuing to their purchase of the old Fitzgeralds casino, which they converted to the D. The brothers also transformed the site of an old county courthouse near the D into the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, an outdoor venue that has been the site of concerts and boxing matches.

Nino said Stevens was a visionary helping to lead Fremont Street in a new direction.

“It’s totally changed. And I have to say, what it was like in the ’60s and ’70s — it was good. But it needed to make the change to get where we’re at in Vegas,” Nino said. “(Stevens) wants to step outside the box and bring people downtown. He’s a real big believer in downtown and the Fremont Street Experience.”

Attendance has doubled in the past five years blossomed into an 11-day fan extravaganza. Oh, and there’s basketball, too.

“It was just an event that was there for the GMs and the coaches to evaluate their players,” said Las Vegas Events President Pat Christenson. “When they approached us, it was with this idea of taking it to a different level.”

That level looks entirely different from the smaller leagues in Orlando and Utah, and each year it continues to grow. Over the past five, attendance at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion has nearly doubled to more than 100,000. And during what’s usually a slow business month in Vegas, Las Vegas Events pegs the total economic impact of last year’s Summer League at $29.5 million, with expectations that the recent growth isn’t a fluke.

“I think it’s just starting,” Christenson said. “I think what’s happened now is, the word has gotten out.”
