VINTAGE VEGAS: CLARK COUNTY COMMISSIONER SWAP In 1980, Woodrow “Woody” Wilson defeated Sam Bowler to become a member of the Clark County Commission. The Mississippi native and former amateur baseball player had moved to Las Vegas in 1942 and became an equal rights activist.

Wilson was the first black scoutmaster in Nevada and the first black person to serve in state Assembly.

Pictured here, a Clark County maintenance worker updates the commission voting board Jan. 6, 1981, after Wilson was sworn in.

Wilson resigned from the commission in 1984 after being convicted in a FBI sting — Operation Yobo — that resulted in felony convictions of four prominent community leaders for bribery. He died Dec. 25, 1999, due to medical complications from diabetes.

Q&A with rob menefee

For restaurateur, a little luck, pride and passion — and a lot of work — are a winning recipe

By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz | STAFF WRITER

Robert Menefee is vice president of operations at District Tavern Group, which owns and operates restaurants Whist Stove & Spirits, Due & Proper and Balboa Pizza Co. In his 13 years in Las Vegas, Menefee was part of a number of high-profile and successful restaurants on and off the Strip, and in 2012 he received a Hospitality Hero award from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.

You became a business owner at a fairly young age. Tell us about that and how it shaped who you are today.

It started as the hallmark college story of bartending by night and going to school by day, but I decided to flip the script a little and bought a bar and restaurant. It seemed like a brilliant idea at the age of 21, right? I mean, what could go wrong?

Well a lot could, of course, but we decided to live the dream and I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. The entire process of business ownership at such a young age instilled that same ownership mentality that I’ve carried with me every day since.

The fear of failure is a great motivator, and I still get nervous butterflies to this day on projects. Twenty years later, I’m not having to sleep in booths or mop the floors at the end of the Rob Menefee bought his first restaurant at age 21 and, despite some early night, but that time was special and struggles, has no regrets.

Describe your management style.

I’ve had to adjust my style situationally during my career. In general, a good manager gives clear direction and stays pretty hands-off, but is ready and available to jump in to offer guidance, expertise and help when needed.

Your industry can be grueling.

How do you balance work and family time?

I’m lucky because they both get along well. I met my wife working in the hospitality industry, so she is amazingly understanding when duty calls. Conversely, I take great joy in trying to be a great husband and father, and my work understands and appreciates that as well.

What is the best business advice you’ve received?

Be brilliant at the basics.

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

Las Vegas is a strong community.

Realize the power that we possess in coming together to benefit the greater good. Charities around the valley can always use support and a helping hand. So can our own families and coworkers. Donate time, money or just listen and offer a warm embrace.

What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas?

It used to be hiking at Red Rock Canyon until my last trip ended with a helicopter rescue and a foot that looked to be put on backward.

My idea of fun now involves family, friends and food. It doesn’t matter if we’re out to eat at some of our favorites around town or cooking at home, spending time with the ones you love just warms the soul.

If President Donald Trump’s tax plan completes a run through the congressional gauntlet — a tossup at best, experts say — the finances for the stadium expected to house the NFL’s Raiders in Las Vegas could significantly change.

A provision in the original version of the bill would prohibit the use of tax-exempt bonds to finance public stadium projects. Such bonds would make up the bulk of the $750 million in public funding approved by the Nevada Legislature in October 2016 to build the $1.9 billion project.

Steve Hill, chairman of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority board, though, dismissed chatter that the need to pay federal interest on stadium bonds could jeopardize the viability of the project.

“It matters, it’s meaningful,” Hill said. “But it is not debilitating.”

Hill said the authority might need to redirect about $3 million per year to pay federal interest if the law were to change. That money otherwise would go toward paying interest on issued bonds or into the bond waterfall — a reserve fund. If that were somehow to lead to the room tax funds designated for stadium construction coming up short, the Raiders would need to make up any shortfall.

“The way the law is written, we have one commitment, which is simply to provide the bond capacity that (the) 0.88 percent (tax) can bond,” Hill said.

“If it isn’t $750 million, then the developers — the Raiders — would be responsible for closing that gap.”

Through a combination of loans from Bank of America and the NFL, as well as personal seat license and naming rights revenue from the stadium project, the Raiders plan to put $1.15 billion toward the construction of the stadium and a practice facility.

Had the Raiders and the stadium authority completed their required agreements by October as originally planned, they might have mitigated the effect of the provision by beginning bond issues before the law could take effect. The four-month holdup, necessitated by a delay in completing the construction contract between the Raiders and contractors Mortenson and McCarthy, means bond issues will not begin until well into 2018.

The Raiders also must put in the first $100 million of their contribution toward the stadium before they can

“The way the law is written, we have one commitment, which is simply to provide the bond capacity that (the) 0.88 percent (tax) can bond.

If it isn’t $750 million, then the developers — the Raiders — would be responsible for closing that gap.”

— Steve Hill, chairman of the Las Vegas Stadium Authority board

access any public money. Hill said the authority first would make a cash contribution from room tax revenues before using the rest of the funds toward bonds.

“Every month that we don’t issue bonds, we’re collecting room tax that could be used to buy down the bonding it would take to get to the $750 million,” Hill said. “If we collect $50 million to $60 million in room tax, then we only need to bond $690 million. We’re not actually bonding $750 million.”

Room tax revenue fell short of projections for a second consecutive month after exceeding expectations in the first five months of collections. The seven-month total of $29.3 million outpaces anticipated revenue by just under $3 million.

While the tax proposal would create an estimated $200 million for the federal government over a 10-year period, its introduction could be related to the recent dustup between the president and the NFL over players kneeling during the national anthem.

“Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country?” Trump tweeted last month.

“Change tax law!”

Responding to a follow-up question at a press briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders expounded on the president’s tweet.

“While the NFL may have given up its tax-exempt status a few years ago, it’s been well documented that billions of dollars continue to subsidize the construction and renovation of professional sports stadiums,” Sanders said.

“If this industry is going to use money from American taxpayers to build the very fields they play on, then is it really too much to ask that they show respect for the American flag at the beginning of the game?”

Health insurance outreach aims to bridge federal cuts By yvonne gonzalez Staff Writer

A huge federal cut to health insurance outreach is spurring awareness efforts, with minority and rural communities considered some of the most at risk of missing the message.

Open enrollment on the Silver State Health Exchange runs through Dec. 15. Heather Korbulic, executive director of the exchange, said an estimated 11 percent of Nevada residents remain uninsured and about 43,000 consumers are eligible for subsidies but not accessing them, either purchasing private plans off the exchange or just remaining uninsured.

Meanwhile, the federal government has cut 90 percent from marketing and advertising for the Affordable Care Act, and instituted a 40 percent drop in outreach funding. Korbulic said individuals and groups have been stepping in to help spread awareness, including initiatives such as Save My Care and Get America Covered, a project of public relations officials in

the former Obama administration. “(They) have banded together and come up with some funds to do advertising since funding has been cut at the federal level,” Korbulic said. “So we’re just communicating with anybody who will talk to us, and it’s paid off.”

There are still concerns among residents who are afraid of giving their information to the federal government, Korbulic said. Only residents living in the country legally can access exchange subsidies.

She said she’s also concerned about enrollment in rural communities, where she said prices tend to be highest, regardless of income level.

“I’m concerned that we’re going to go backward in terms of insuring rural communities, which has been a huge success for Nevada to get so many people out in those communities the insurance that they need,” she said.

The uninsured rate in Nevada’s rural communities fell by roughly half

after Gov. Brian Sandoval became the first Republican governor in the country to expand Medicaid under the ACA. Korbulic and Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., say some consumers are confused about what the rules are this year amid the efforts to repeal or replace Obamacare and end the tax for those who do not buy insurance.

The Internal Revenue Service has said it would not accept tax returns that do not include proof of insurance forms. Korbulic said the ACA’s individual mandate would be enforced, and those who need to buy insurance but fail to do so would face a tax of $695 per year or 2.5 percent of their income, whichever is greater.

Kihuen said he was sending out videos in English and Spanish to encourage residents to access insurance.

“All we’re doing now is making sure that more people get health coverage,” Kihuen said. “For those who still don’t have any, let’s make it accessible to them as well.”

Korbulic said the exchange website could be translated into about 50 languages, and that in-person help was offered in Spanish and many other languages, including Chinese. She said there were customers who came through the exchange without speaking any English.

“Our call center can connect you with whatever language service you need,” she said. “We’re pretty well covered where that’s concerned.”

Korbulic said the first day of open enrollment went well but that she was “concerned about healthcare.gov’s ability to handle the 45-day open enrollment period,” which is half the time people have had to enroll in previous years.

She said she hadn’t learned of any steps taken to ensure that the platform’s infrastructure could handle the number of applicants or a contingency plan if the site were to go down.

“It’s an interesting relationship,” she said. “They’re our regulator and our vendor.”

SHOP PING, fr o m page 1

Traditional meets digital in the retail space; millennials’ spending shifts watched closely national and local contingents on Nov. 3 to speak to the media and review trends for the holidays and the coming year.

Online shopping has been growing at a rate of 15 percent per year, compared with 4 percent bricks-andmortar sales growth, so one might think that traditional storefronts are struggling.

Melina Cordero, chief of CBRE retail research for the Americas, though, said that’s not the case. Although online shopping is exploding in popularity, bricks-and-mortar retailers are expanding into the online space and integrating the in-store experience with the advantages of online shopping, research shows.

“The consumer likes shopping online, but loves omnichannel shopping more,” Cordero said. “They will browse online, try it on in-store and buy on their phones.”

Over 50 percent of online sales are through bricks-and-mortar brands on their websites, she added.

Although several department stores that once dominated the retail space are experiencing tough times — from shuttering locations to filing for bankruptcy — discount retailers will be the big winners this holiday season, Cordero said.

The health and beauty industry and home furnishings will do well this Christmas regardless, she said.

But the real winners will be discounters such as T.J. Maxx and Burlington Coat Factory. Deals are still important to post-recession consumers, she said. They are willing to pay more for some branded items, but not on everyday items such as plain T-shirts.

Among other topics addressed by CBRE’s experts were: high expectations for las vegas Las Vegas has been a retail juggernaut, on the Strip and in the suburban cores, and CBRE sees the trend continuing as other industries in the area simultaneously rise.

“Our economy continues to grow and is doing so much better,” said Matt Bear, vice president of global gaming retail for CBRE. “It’s about to take off when the construction being done in the city starts to take hold.”

holding back from spending on more traditional categories such as apparel, but will put their money toward convenience-driven categories like ride -hailing services and gyms, she said.

“The millennials as a cohort don’t want to spend more than $10 on a white T-shirt, but they are willing to spend $35 at Soul Cycle,” Cordero said. “So you can’t call millennials cheap, because they’re spending money on Uber, restaurants and gyms.”

Some deals can only be found in-store, whether on Black Friday or a typical day. (associated press file)

“It’s a chicken-and-egg discussion. Do the jobs come and people follow, or is it the people then jobs? But really, the net migration patterns within the lower 48 states are playing big roles in the success of inland markets such as Las Vegas, Phoenix and Denver.”

— Matt Vance, economist and director of research and analysis at CBRE

Projects planned and underway will attract more workers who will in turn support more retail, he said.

The general economy is slowing on the national level, said Matt Vance, economist and director of research and analysis for CBRE, but research indicates that Las Vegas will continue to do well in its bounce-back. One reason is that the area is benefiting from national migration patterns.

“It’s a chicken-and-egg discussion,” Vance said. “Do the jobs come and people follow, or is it the people then jobs? But really, the net migration patterns within the lower 48 states are playing big roles in the success of inland markets such as Las Vegas, Phoenix and Denver.”

Las Vegas has added more jobs fairly consistently, and “a lot of that is being driven by the net migration flow into market from 2012 to 2016,” Vance said.

focus on buying habits of millennials In Las Vegas and nationally, retailers will continue to focus on millennials even though baby boomers and Gen Xers might have more disposable income overall.

Cordero observed that while boomers may have a lot of income, they spend differently — millennials spend money on experiential activities such as eating out. But she predicts that will change.

“As they age, older consumers will shift money away from goods while millennials will be shifting their spending toward goods,” Cordero said. “Millennials are not too different and will be moving to suburbs and buying cars.

“By focusing on millennials, retailers are preparing for the massive amount of spending that will be coming from that (group).”

Studies show that millennials are

shopping as a social experience Social media is playing a big role in how retailers and landlords are trying to attract millennials to their stores.

With the popularity of online shopping exploding over the past decade, there is less need to go to physical shopping areas.

Retailers and landlords recognize this trend and are trying to work with it, rather than fight it.

“One of the things we’re going to see a lot this holiday season are these staged areas of the mall or retail (complexes), where they are encouraging Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter photos, to try and drive viral social media campaigns,” Cordero said.

“People take photos, they put (them) out there, and people see it and then want to go and see it themselves.”

Some mall groups in California are partnering with ride-hailing giant Uber to incentivize spending a certain amount to earn free drop-off and pick-up. Cordero said to expect more of these types of partnerships going forward in the retail realm.

“It’s going to end up looking like affiliate marketing,” Bear said. “I don’t know what it’s ultimately going to look like, but there are going to be more innovative partnerships.”

Those properties and landlords willing to take the extra steps — or even take risks — to attract millennial dollars likely will be on the winning side of the retail shift.

“The internet economy is creating the haves and have-nots,” Bear said.

“If you’re innovative and have the best environment and have the savvy and investment dollars to create partnerships, you’re going to end up winning a bigger piece of the economic pie.

That is the inescapable conclusion.”
