THE NOTES People on the Move, P4

Jeff Brown, a Las Vegas local, opened his streetwear business in Summerlin in 2001. It has since moved to the Shoppes at Mandalay Bay, and although the customer base has shifted, some aspects of the store will never change.

TALKING POINTS 20 percent better health by 2020 is ambitious but achievable, P7

OUR TAKE ACCELERATED FIELD TESTING OF GAMING MACHINES COULD SPUR INNOVATION A recurring theme in discussions about the future of Strip casinos is that gambling is generating a smaller percentage of revenue compared with shopping, dining, dayclubs and nightclubs. Common wisdom suggests that current casino offerings don’t appeal to Las Vegas’ younger adult visitors.

State gaming regulators already are encouraging the development of skillbased games as a way to attract millennials and keep them on casino floors. Finding ways to get machines to consumers faster to foster innovation is another imperative.

Last week, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved new rules to cover how gaming device manufacturers conduct field trials of new games in an effort to expedite. The changes would create a New Innovation Beta process, in which games can be tested on the casino floor before the Gaming Control Board determines if they fully comply with the Nevada regulations.

This way gaming companies can see if their new games will perform well and if consumers actually want to play them before the companies invest the time and money required to conform to all of Nevada’s stringent standards.

It’s a smart move. If it’s easier to test new games in the real world, manufacturers may eventually come up with the kind of games that will get millennials to spend as much time gambling in resorts as they do dancing and eating.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The disease robs people of the ability to walk, talk and eventually breathe. It traps them inside a body they no longer can control. People with ALS lose the power to use their legs, hold someone close, and simply say, “I love you”, before their bodies ultimately shut down.

What do we do?

The ALS Association Nevada Chapter supports three multidisciplinary ALS clinics and provides grants for respite care. Nevadans afflicted with ALS and their families have access to our medical equipment closets and monthly support groups, all at no charge.

Q&A with mohammad Ashrafi

Working on hospitality from the core outward Mohammad Ashrafi is the founder and principal consultant of Dynamic Minds Consulting, which works with hospitality operations to operate, maintain and optimize point-of-sale systems. His parents emigrated from Iran in search of a better life for their children, and taught a 10-year-old Mohammad the value of determination and hard work in pursuit of his dreams — beginning, he says, with learning enough English to ask for a can of 7UP. What inspired you to start Dynamic Minds Consulting?

I was really attracted to the challenge of building something from scratch and the potential professional freedom the opportunity presented.

Do you have any recent news or updates you’d like to share?

We recently celebrated DMC’s 10year anniversary. I am so grateful for all of our partners who made this incredible milestone possible and joined us for the celebration. On the home front, I am lucky to have recently found my soul mate and am now happily married.

My first casino project was the opening of Suncoast in the summer of 2000, and I was hooked instantly. I really fell in love with opening a new property, and that love has only increased since.

Where do you see DMC in the next 10 years?

The point-of-sale space is going through a revolutionary period. I cannot express how exciting this is for a company like DMC. My vision has always been to eventually create software as opposed to supporting others’. I anticipate DMC heading in that direction in the near future.

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

Professional race-car driver because I love fast cars.

Describe your management style and why you believe in it.

Managing people is the hardest part of my job. Not competition, not our clients and not technology. Luckily, I have been able to assemble an amazing team of people who are passionate and extremely proficient.

I will never be a micromanager; I allow my team the freedom to execute without a watchful eye. We support over 1,500 venues 24/7, executing around 5,000 changes a week for them. I have to be able to trust my team to play their roles to the best of their abilities.

I would only add that I am definitely a perfectionist and don’t have much patience for incompetence or avoidable mistakes.

What is something that most people might not know about you?

I raced jet skis for a couple of years after high school.

Best and hardest parts about doing business on the Strip are one and the same suite 160

Describe your business.

Suite 160 is a lifestyle sneaker, streetwear and accessories boutique. We offer everything from Nike Free Runs for all of our tourists with tired feet to exclusive Jordan releases for our sneakerhead customers.

Address: 3930 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Suite 132A, Las Vegas Phone: 702-304-2513 Email: suiteonesixty@gmail.com Website: suite160.com Hours of operation: 10 a.m.-11 p.m. daily Owned/operated by: Jeff Brown In business since: 2001

Who are your customers?

Being in a tourist-based area, a majority of our customers are tourists. The cool part about being on the Strip is our customer base is now worldwide.

In general, people who shop with us are into up-andcoming fashion, and things that they won’t see other people wearing. In other words, trendsetters.

What sort of unique offerings does your store have?

I wouldn’t say we are always on the cutting edge of fashion, as we mostly focus on our brands that have stood the test of time. Nike, Jordan and Stussy have been with us for a long time and are not going anywhere. They control their distribution for the most part and are good partners to have.

Where did the name Suite 160 come from?

When the store was at its inception stage at our first location on Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road — empty and bare — 160 was the suite number. There was a Suite 160 sticker on the window, and it was a right-place-atthe-right-time type of situation. The shadow of the suite number on the window reflected onto one of the bare walls inside the store. Ever since then, the suite number of the first location has been the name of the business. It

probably is not the best name for a shoe store but it stuck because it was unique.

What’s the most important part of your job?

The most important part of running any business is trying to stay relevant. So much of the brick-and-mortar retail has moved online, but you still get the people who are old-school and like to touch and feel and try on things before they buy.

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

The best part about doing business in Las Vegas is the same as the hardest part. The constant influx of tourism brings in such a diverse range of customers — ethnicities, ages and styles. Also, because we’re in “the city that never sleeps,” we have an extended range of hours that allows us to be open longer than people usually expect.

How can Nevada improve its business climate?

Nevada is doing a good job of reinventing itself. As more states legalize gambling, the state has been forced to become a nightlife, shopping and culinary destination as well as a gambling state. The hockey team and talk of an NFL team would be great for the city.

What have you learned from the recession?

It is important to save money for a rainy day so when business is slow or the trends change, you have time to adjust.

UNLV School of Medicine earns preliminary accreditation

Audit shows lack of oversight of mortgage companies By cy ryan Staff Writer

By ian whitaker Staff Writer

The upstart UNLV School of Medicine has cleared its biggest hurdle yet.

The school was granted preliminary accreditation by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, paving the way for it to open next summer.

“I’m very relieved and very proud of what everyone has accomplished,” said Barbara Atkinson, founding dean. “We crossed our fingers hoping for this outcome.”

The committee inspected the school’s facilities this summer. Preliminary accreditation status was all that stood in the way of the school opening its doors to its charter class of 60 students in July 2017.

Atkinson and her team of administrators have been working to put the school together since late 2014.

“We’re ready to teach,” said Atkinson, who described the news as “one of the highlights” of her career.

The school is preparing to review student

applications in the coming weeks and should have a class filled by the end of March, Atkinson said. Thanks to a successful fundraising campaign, each student in the charter class will receive a full scholarship.

Classes will be taught in a 20,000-squarefoot space in an existing facility used by UNLV’s dental school, but plans to construct the medical school’s first building are underway.

UNLV President Len Jessup hailed the news as proof the university “is undergoing a renaissance in so many areas.”

“The School of Medicine is an important part of UNLV’s role and relevance in the community and beyond,” Jessup said in a statement. “It’s been an exciting week for the university, its leadership and the entire community and state.”

The accreditation process will kick back in during the inaugural class’ second and fourth years, after which the committee will decide whether to grant the medical school full accreditation.

A state division charged with regulating the mortgagelending industry has failed to check whether many companies are obeying state laws and regulations.

“The public is not being protected,” Assemblywoman Maggie Carlton, D-Las Vegas, said after a legislative audit of the state Division of Mortgage Lending was released.

The audit found the division did not conduct the timely review of 58 percent of 238 mortgage companies. Examinations of 124 companies were past due by an average of 13 months.

The report said part of the problem was the result of turnover of employees.

Bruce Breslow, director of the state Department of Business and Industry, which oversees the division, said the commissioner of the agency left to return to his home state, and the deputy director retired after 37 years with the state.

In addition, two other positions were vacant, Breslow said.

Companies considered risky based on consumer complaints or previous investigations were not examined in the required six to 12 months, the audit said.

“Timely follow-up with licensees that receive adverse ratings is important to help ensure they implement appropriate corrective action,” deputy legislative auditor Diana Giovannoni said.

By slim margin, Palace Station workers reject bid to unionize

By Thomas Moore Staff Writer

A majority of workers at Palace Station voted not to unionize in the latest battle between Station Casinos and the Culinary Workers Union Local 226.

According to the local office of the National Labor Relations Board, 586 people were eligible to vote. Of those, 531 people participated, with 262 people in favor of unionizing and 266 opposed.

“We are extremely pleased that our team members at Palace Station voted to reject union representation despite an aggressive organizing campaign by the Culinary Union,” said Richard J. Haskins, Station Casinos president.

The Culinary Union released a statement blaming the loss on what it deemed unfair tactics.

“Palace Station has committed conduct that seriously interfered with workers’ right to a free and fair choice on unionization,” union legal counsel Eric Myers said in the statement.

“Most egregiously, management an-

nounced just after the union filed for the election that it would be giving workers a raise, and did so a few days before the election was held.”

Barbara Baynes, resident officer at the Las Vegas office of the labor rela-

tions board, which ran the election, said anyone can file an objection to the election for up to seven days after the ballots are counted.

North Las Vegas is the first municipality in Nevada to eliminate the box routinely found on job applications that potential employees must check to indicate they have criminal records.

Adoption of the so-called “ban the box” policy allows those with criminal records a better chance to advance in the hiring process, city officials said. Background checks would still be conducted, but only after applicants have the opportunity to meet those doing the hiring.

“By not giving people a fair chance at employment, by not giving them the opportunity to support themselves and their families in a productive way, we are in effect pushing them to reoffend,” Mayor Pro Tem Isaac Barron said. “That serves nobody, and in fact, does a grave injustice to our communities and all of our residents by working against public safety.”

He noted that studies showed that recidivism rates across the U.S. ranged from 31 to 70 percent. Recidivism rates for ex-offenders who are placed in jobs shortly after their release, however, drop dramatically — to as low as 3 percent, he said.

gramercy, from page 1

New-look mixed-use development has local flavor ManhattanWest stalled after losing funding in 2009, decaying into a steel eyesore symbolic of the recession.

Two years ago, though, Ofir Hagay and business partners Michael Werner and Benjy Garfinkle dropped in for lunch after buying the bones of ManhattanWest for $20 million.

They insisted that the cozy eatery described by Wilson and Krausman as “Jamaican meets New Mexican cuisine” move as a retail anchor to what is now known as The Gramercy.

Wilson immediately texted Krausman; their dream space might finally be ready just as their current lease expired.

“It was kind of one of those warm moments knowing it belonged here,” Krausman said.

The doors of the new DW Bistro will open in The Gramercy, at Russell Road just off the 215 Beltway in the southwest valley, the first week of No-

vember, a major building block in the reimagining of one of the Las Vegas Valley’s few mixed-use communities.

“It’s not a construction site anymore,” Hagay said. “It’s a living, dynamic place. The whole concept of mixed-use projects, which is, in a way, new to Las Vegas, I think you can see the proof that it’s working.”

After imploding a crippled ninestory, 72-unit condo tower last year, developers WGH Partners and the Krausz Cos. pushed forward with 160 upscale apartments and 190,000

combined square feet of office and retail space. Ground-floor retail tenants also include Pinches Tacos, Cuppa Coffee, Portion Control, Raw Fitness and Nohea Nails, reflecting the developers’ focus on attracting locally owned businesses.

All but 3 percent of the 190,000 square feet is leased and will be occupied within the next two months.

Apartments ranging from a 530-square-foot studio to a 2,085-square-foot penthouse vary in price from $1,075 to more than $3,000

per month, and are nearly 80 percent occupied.

Sitting in the development’s centerpiece courtyard on a charming fall day, Hagay pointed up through windows around the encircling fourstory, faux-urban buildings and described workers preparing the last available office space for newly contracted clients.

“This type of urban construction is very hard to copy because of the cost to do it,” Hagay said. “It’s something very unique.

“The real estate in Las Vegas — residential and commercial — is outdated,” he added. “The strip malls, the one-story business park. The market is changing. The demand is changing.”

While The Gramercy stands out as one of few attempts at combined residential/office/retail development in Southern Nevada, a broader prefer-

ence for similar projects appears to be emerging, according to Ed Coulson, an economics professor and director of UNLV’s Lied Institute for Real Estate Studies at Lee Business School.

“That’s the wave of the present,” Coulson said. “Nationwide, there’s a desire for what some people would call more sustainable forms of architecture, which goes part and parcel with mixed-use development.”

The Gramercy’s mixed-use concept attracted Krausman and Wilson as they readied for the “grown-up” DW Bistro that offers 1,100 square feet more than its previous home. Krausman’s energy radiates as he leads a hard-hat tour of the corner space in flooding late-afternoon sun, pointing to where the new rotisserie and full-size ice cream machine will go while expressing equal excitement Above, The Gramercy includes residential, office and retail spaces. Below, workers for increased room for glass washing prepare DW Bistro to open at the mixed-use development. in the back. (christopher devargas/staff) He weaves into the conversation business plans based in part on The Gramercy’s design: two private dining rooms and expanded kitchen space for catering to serve office tenants, and a DW app for delivery and pickup orders for residents. Krausman and Wilson also plan to add six employees and expand hours to include a Sunday supper and a Monday lunch.

“The energy really is awesome here,” Krausman said. “It has a great view of the valley. They built it in the right place. It felt right for DW to grow into the space.”

Vince Upperman, owner and chef at recently opened Portion Control, chose The Gramercy for his first brick-and-mortar location because of the development’s uncommon layout and plans.

Upperman and his wife, Natalee, because of its bold, original design.

call a market correction,” Coulson said of recent growth in the local real estate market. “By the time we hit bottom in 2012, everyone had been so pessimistic that there was some modification of expectations.”

The Las Vegas market shows modest improvement in both office and retail vacancy rates. From the second quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2016, retail vacancy dropped from 9.7 to 9.2 percent and office vacancy fell from 18.5 to 16.7 percent. The quarterly forecast from Colliers International suggests both sectors could soften for the remainder of the year.

Given those conditions, Hagay and his partners will wait for the right time to begin a second phase of The Gramercy, which could include up to 500,000 square feet of mixed-use properties. Hagay, Werner and Garfinkle have close to a century of experience in American and international development, and take a sober view of the Las Vegas market’s potential to bounce back.

“The Las Vegas economy, and especially real estate, it’s a cycle,” Hagay said. “We can never change that cycle because there are too many elements — banking, mortgage, the overall economy.

“You remember Simba in ‘The Lion King?’ It’s the circle of life. It’s the cycle of the economy.”

Some parts of anticipated conversion proved untenable. Hagay and his partners decided it would be too expensive to repair the partially constructed and structurally questionable condo tower, and planned its implosion.

“Not everyone had positive thinking about what you see here,” Hagay said. “A lot of people said, ‘How can you rent this?’ But you see here with your own eyes. People are living here, people are working here, people are dining here.”

Young women in bright yoga pants and vibrant tank tops sprint back and forth through The Gramercy’s concrete courtyard right before lunch, from the doors of Raw Fitness under a gazebo to the main office entrance and back up the gradual incline as part of their boot-camp routine. Minutes later, two of the women walk out the front entrance toward the shaded patio adjacent to Cuppa Coffee and Nohea Nails.

The taller woman glances down at her cellphone and says, “It’s not very often you get your ass kicked like that and still walk out laughing.”

The same could be said for this development.

Improvements to our hometown are gratifying to watch

I

have the pleasure of working with more than 1,200 real estate professionals and their teams in Southern Nevada, and have lived and worked here for 30 years. Even though my company has grown to operate in other markets, Nevada will always be home, and our corporate headquarters.

I’m a “glass half full” kind of guy, so when I was asked to write about my thoughts on living and working in Southern Nevada, it made me think of all the things that are right with our community. In particular, I think our pro-busiGuest column: ness environment is one mark stark of the best I have seen.

I’m a believer that you can do a lot to help a community, but if people aren’t working and succeeding in supporting their families and moving themselves forward financially, it’s hard to focus on anything else. That’s important for any community, and I think our pro-growth and pro-business environment is unparalleled. In fact,

there were 24,000 more jobs in Clark County in the first eight months of this year compared with the same period last year, according to Bill Anderson, chief economist at the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation. We have seen year-over-year growth in jobs state-wide for the past 68 months, Anderson says. There is no doubt our economy has been through tough times, but positive things are happening in Southern Nevada.

The residential real estate market is a great example. Home prices are up 22.6 percent since 2013, from an average price of $214,117 to $266,026. The steady yearly increase is what experts like to see when assessing the stability of a city’s economy.

Additionally, the number of homes sold is steadily increasing this year. In 2015, home sales were up 6.3 percent over 2014, and so far this year, home sales are up an additional 6.6 percent over the same period last year.

Diversification is key to moving our business community forward. I am especially impressed at Southern Nevada’s emphasis on bringing new, diversified businesses to town. We don’t always win in getting them, but we use the right tools and work hard to diversify our business community.

We want to continue the trend of attracting companies to bring their headquarters here, even

though they may not do all their business in Southern Nevada, because it would benefit our community in numerous ways. Switch Communications is a great example of this.

Though I have lived and worked here a long time, I am still learning best practices to continue my company’s growth. In the past five years, I’ve started operating in the Phoenix and Southern California markets and have learned a few things that make my business here stronger.

We have modified our business operations in all three states to model California’s aggressive guidelines for business. This has increased our standards and rules company-wide, and particularly in our policies and procedures, employee policies and legal dealings.

Nevada does a lot right. Its sensitivity to the importance of growth and a renewed economy is making a difference. We want to attract good-paying jobs so our residents are building their incomes to support themselves and their families.

For people who don’t know our community, it can get a bad rap. They don’t realize we have vibrant, clean, healthy communities. It’s a beautiful place to live. I love Las Vegas. It’s home.
