Q&A with TaChelle Lawson
Brand specialist’s advice: Never stop marketing TaChelle Lawson is founder of FIG Brand Strategy Firm, which helps businesses develop or enhance their brand. A self-confessed foodie with a passion for Las Vegas’ culinary scene, Lawson had the opportunity last Valentine’s Day to take four chefs to cook at the James Beard House in New York. She’s also worked with clients such as Louis Vuitton, Lexus and Red Bull. What prompted you to launch your own firm? I started FIG because I’ve spent my entire career in hospitality and I know that having a partner who understands not only the marketing and public relations side, but the operational side is crucial. This is what I love doing, I love this city and I am excited for what’s ahead. At what age did you know you wanted a career in food and beverage? At 19, I catered my first party, wrote and designed the menus, picked the linen and china, and was surprised at how easily I handled it all. The feedback was so much more than I’d expected and I was hooked. I come from a family of chefs and caterers, so hospitality comes very naturally to me. How has the local culinary scene evolved in the past 10 years? For starters, guests are more involved than ever. Everyday palates have become adventurous and sophisticated; people want to experience something different and they’re vocal about it. Secondly, the culinary community is listening. There was a time when a chef would put a menu together and that was that. It was his or her creation TaChelle Lawson says Las Vegas was built on stimulaand it didn’t change until it was time to change the tion and experience.

I know. When a family must choose between one of them having a necessary surgery or being able to feed their family because the out-of-pocket expense for that surgery is $8,000, there’s a problem. What’s your favorite spot for a business meeting or power lunch? I like Le Thai or Flock & Fowl. Both are simple, and just good food and quick service. If you could have dinner with any three people, who would you choose? Eric Ripert, Steve Wynn and Madonna. Eric because he’s such an incredibly talented chef with a humble spirit. Steve because he was changing Vegas as I was growing up and his style shaped so many of my business practices as I entered hospitality. And Madonna because she’s a badass. She came from nothing, has been unapologetically herself, the subject of so much controversy, continued to push the envelope and has had an unbelievable career. I have a lot of respect for her. Whom do you admire? I admire risk-takers, entrepreneurs, the individual who gets up at 4 a.m. and catches three buses to get to work because he or she has a family to provide for — people who weren’t given anything and created a life for themselves that they’re happy with. What is your biggest pet peeve? Excuses. I have zero tolerance for excuses. It shows a lack of ownership, which happens to be my second pet peeve. If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be? It’s going to sound cliché, but right now I think I live in one of the best cities in the world and when I feel like I need to be somewhere else, I visit the Strip. Fifteen years from now, I may feel differently and then I would say, Italy. I love the shopping dining and weather. What is something that people might not know about you? I’m a boxer. I box two to three times a week and have for the past three years. I love it. Some people run to clear their heads or get their creative juices flowing. I hit a heavy bag. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I’d like to have made a positive impact on the businesses that trust FIG enough to hire us. I’m big on development and growth, so I’d like the team currently working for me to increase and I’d like to see them all move up several steps in their careers, with or without FIG.

Where is Las Vegas on the business cycle? Six experts weigh in By VEGAS INC STAFF
Positive economic news continues through early 2018, furthering a trend from last year’s strong stock market and employment numbers. Locally, hotels are adding convention space and remodeling rooms, the Fontainebleau and Alon deals generated buzz on the Strip and construction cranes are appearing at the Resorts World site. Southern Nevada has outpaced national economic growth in the past couple of years. How long that run can last, though, is up for debate. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, this recovery, at nine years, is the third-longest in U.S. history. Expansions have lasted on average only a little under five years since 1945. VEGAS INC asked experts for their opinion of Las Vegas’ economy. Jeremy Aguero, principal with Applied Analysis “I don’t think there’s any doubt … if
you look at Nevada and the Southern Nevada economy, the rate at which it is expanding is slowing. It’s been a trend for the past 12 months. “The slowing of the economy is inevitable, but it has nothing to do with (a specific) timeline. It has to do with the circumstances. In a normal business cycle, the levels of growth the state and community have experienced would be difficult to sustain over the longer term. “On the other side, we have a $1.5 trillion stimulus in the form of the tax package, although I understand some view it that way and some don’t. That freeing up of capital for investment and revenue could sustain a longer period of growth.” Aguero said the overall outlook for the Las Vegas economy was mixed. “The next two to three months is very important to seeing how longterm or how extensive the impact of the Oct. 1 events are,” he said. “The convention calendar going into 2018 is important.
“Then there are (other) things. No. 1 is the construction of the stadium, No. 2 is the convention center — the construction of that project — and No. 3 is the extent to which other projects (Resorts World, Paradise Park) take form. … All are slated for 2018 and all built under the expectation that Las Vegas still has room to grow.” Joseph Otting, comptroller of the currency “It is one of longest recoveries we’ve had in modern history. But remember, there’s also been a very long period of time where gross domestic product was only 1-2 percent. If you look at most economic recoveries, the first six to eight quarters are much steeper from a GDP perspective. “I’m observing more optimism. … I think it’s all about jobs. Most jobs come with health care and lots of good things, and so people are able to take care of their family and add to their savings. It is going to get better. I think we haven’t had wage inflation and we
haven’t seen full employment. So we have a lot of people who left the workforce coming back.” Christopher Beavor, founder of real estate development firm CAI (CAI recently broke ground on a 9-acre commercial development across from the Palms.) “I think we’re just in the middle part of the business cycle. Cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, the coastal cities and the gateway cities are four or five years ahead of us in the cycle. In Las Vegas, we are an isolated island. We were unique because for years, a lot of local investment and capital came from local families, local banks and local capital. And when the recession hit and some of our largest employers went into bankruptcy, that trickled through the economy and really put a drag on the start of our recovery. So Las Vegas is four to five years behind.” John DeCree, gaming analyst

for Union Gaming Group “Las Vegas typically performs better later in the cycle, when you think about discretionary spending, whether at the group level or the personal leisure level. The more comfortable people feel about savings and profitability on a personal or company level, they have comfort and are spending more. “It doesn’t look like a recession is imminent. I think everyone is waiting for a signal. Maybe interest rates to signal a turn in the cycle. I think we’ve got a couple of years to go.” David J. Tina, 2017 president of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors “I own a real estate company, and I’m moving. I sold my house, and I’m moving into a new home. “The economy is trending up and when people are doing well, they tend to move up and are more likely to make that change. “And as long as tax reform doesn’t mess with it or something completely out of the ordinary happens, we’re really in a good spot in this town.”
Colin Mansfield, gaming analyst with Fitch Ratings “In the near term, we probably view (the economy) more favorably. From a citywide perspective, it’s good you don’t have two or three things going up. But we’re being more vocal that the recovery in Vegas is getting pretty long. We’re seeing a lot of the indicators that we pay attention to reaching or surpassing prior peak numbers. We are starting to be more cautious on Las Vegas. “In terms of occupancy, it’s pretty strong across the Strip. It’s pretty much the same regardless of where you look, visitation is coming in with decent growth. Everyone’s been able to raise prices. “We do still think there’s a marginal upside on the Strip. You don’t have any immediate near-term supply (of hotel rooms) coming online and everyone’s building new convention space. If you ask about it, they all seem to agree there’s a sense of pentup demand and they’ll be able to fill it. From a convention perspective, there’s still a little bit of a way to go.”
‘Trying it is believing,’ Sandoval says of self-driving vehicles By mick akers Staff Writer
Touting the success of the autonomous shuttle in downtown Las Vegas, Gov. Brian Sandoval says the future is now in Nevada. Sandoval recently spoke to more than 20 governors during the National Governors Association’s Transportation Innovation Summit at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort in Henderson. The driverless shuttle began in November in the Innovation District in downtown Las Vegas. It has already transported more than 10,000 passengers on the 0.6-mile fixed route. An estimated 100,000 passengers are expected to ride on the shuttle during the yearlong pilot program, Sandoval said. “People are literally lined up to have the opportunity to ride on the autonomous shuttle,” Sandoval said.
THE BEST IN LAS VEGAS LUXURY ESTATE LIVING
Sandoval said he made autonomous transportation one of the focal points of his administration because he wanted Nevada to be a leader in innovation and because it was another way to diversify the state’s economy. Clément Michel, president and CEO of Keolis, one of the companies behind the autonomous shuttle being tested downtown, said before long, autonomous vehicles would be seen on roads regularly. “All over the city I’d say (in) four or five years,” Clement said. “That’s my bet.” Sandoval said there was one way to alleviate concerns about the safety of self-driving vehicles. “Try it,” he said. “Just try it. Trying it is believing. For people who are not used to self-driving vehicles, they always want to be in control. You can see for yourself it’s safe by what’s being done downtown.”

Team’s home base could be a boon to the area for $6.05 million — half its appraised value. While the steep discount has attracted its share of critics, supporters think the deal will reap dividends for the region in the long run, enticing other developers to quickly set up shop nearby and facilitating the growth of a new, vibrant neighborhood at the valley’s southern entrance. Henderson officials, who have for many years wanted to get the city’s western reaches more developed, are excited about the changes the Raiders could bring. “When you have the opportunity to attract a corporate facility, but also a training facility, for an NFL franchise, where there are only 32 teams in the nation that have this opportunity, it adds a lot of credibility to future development and prospective development that would be looking at our community going forward,” said Barbra Coffee, the city’s director of economic development and tourism. “It A Raiders inspired City of Henderson logo is projected almost provides that catalyst impact to those devel- as a joke during Henderson Mayor Debra March’s 2018 opments just because of it being here.” State of the City address Jan. 10. (yasmina chavez/staff) At the site on Executive Airport Drive south of St. Rose Parkway, the Raiders have envisioned building their training center and corporate offices on about 25 acres in the project’s first phase, according to Coffee. Plans for the remaining 30 acres haven’t been released publicly yet, but they could feature a mix of “complementary uses,” including commercial and hospitality, Coffee said. The team intends to have the first phase finished by spring 2020, in time to coincide with the planned opening of its $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat domed stadium on Russell Road the same year. Henderson City Council members voted unanimously in early January to move forward with the Raiders deal, and they’ll consider it for final approval Feb. 6. State law allows the city to sell land without first offering it to other developers if officials find it’s in the public’s best interest. Gragson already has shown a personal interest The practice facility and headquarters are exin southwest Henderson. Working with other real pected to bring 250 new jobs — excluding footestate investors, Gragson said he bought about ball players — and the team is planning to spend 400 acres there.

They might have to pay a fee to watch the attractive Henderson living options within easy practices, but I think it could be a really good endriving distance of the practice facility and offices. hancement to the area.”
Coffee pointed to neighborhoods like Seven Hills, Anthem, MacDonald Ranch, Ascaya and Lake Las Vegas as potentially good fits for players and team executives. And even beyond those places, there’s a wide range of living opportunities within a 30-minute drive, Gragson noted. There may in coming years be an even closer living option, if plans in motion for a huge new mixeduse development come to fruition. Sauvage Real Estate in December received a key zoning approval from the Henderson City Council to advance a 103acre plan known as Henderson West. The vision calls for 2,920 residential units, 480,000 square feet of retail, 190,000 square feet of office space and a 250-room hotel. It’s a long-term plan, with some aspects moving on a “10 years-plus” timeline, according to developer Alan Sauvage. But he’s planning a mix of living situations that could be attractive to team affiliates, including townhomes and luxury high-rises. Sauvage said his firm was in talks with “master developers of a global scale” to help bring the concept to life. Sauvage’s site is just down St. Rose Parkway from the property where the Raiders want to settle, so he thinks Henderson West will be a good option for players once it’s built. “We think we’re maybe the best choice for players in the valley, along with Inspirada and Seven Hills,” Sauvage said. “I think it’s because of the proximity to the practice facility, but also proximity to Henderson Executive Airport.” The airport is an underrated aspect of the area, in Sauvage’s view. As McCarran International Airport gets busier, he expects more private traffic to shift to Henderson, making the city’s western limits even more attractive. That should be appealing to the Raiders, too, he thinks. Sauvage sees his St. Rose Parkway land becoming something akin to Summerlin, but with a greater emphasis on walkability. His plans have been in progress for about two years, but now that the Raiders are coming to town, he’s noticed a significantly increased interest in the area from other developers. “We’re very excited to have them next door,” Sauvage said of the Raiders. And for city officials, the Raiders’ prospect of bringing jobs that could lure even more jobs to the neighborhood falls in line with their land-use goals for the western area. Coffee estimated 70 to 80 percent of Henderson’s residents currently leave city limits for work during the week and come back at night, and she wants to bring that percentage down. “It’s important that, citywide, we impact our ... jobs-to-resident ratio, or jobs-to-housing ratio, and that ratio right now in Henderson is, I would say, out of balance,” Coffee said. “It needs to be higher. It needs to be where we have more people who can work close to where they live.” And she’s not alone in believing that an NFL franchise setting up its corporate home base inside city limits could help accomplish exactly that goal.

Eamon M. Springall
Where were you when you received your 40 Under 40 award? It was 2009 and I was in my ninth year at Grubb & Ellis. In retrospect, I was a young professional, still honing my craft of brokerage in the commercial real estate business, building my expertise and perfecting my client service delivery.
Where were you when you received your 40 Under 40 award? In 2007,
Executive Managing Director, Newmark Knight Frank
Co-founder and president of Stitched Lifestyle COO at Orgill Singer & Associates Inc.
What has been your biggest accomplishment since you were awarded? While I appreciate being named a top producer within
I was 27. I sold a successful dot-com business in the late ’90s, then focused my attention on my mentor Bob Orgill’s insurance brokerage, Orgill Singer Insurance, where I had worked every year since I was 10. I got my insurance licenses, and within a few years became Orgill Singer’s top broker. I became the founding chairman of the Vegas Young Professionals, then started a professional networking company called the Executive Lounge.
the company or local market, and have achieved high placement on the volume of deals completed annually, I am most proud of my successes on behalf of my clients. For example, during the economic recession, I worked on several bank foreclosure deals that ultimately became solid investments. What have you had to learn the hard way? I learned that real
estate doesn’t always increase in value, despite the common perception. I entered commercial real estate in the late 1990s, during an extensive boom period. Making money in real estate seemed almost effortless and I remember thinking that real estate was the easiest thing in the world. Then, the great recession happened and Las Vegas was hit especially hard. Too many clients, who were deeply invested in the market and exposed when things turned south, lost everything. I came to understand the cyclical nature of the industry and economics.

What’s the best advice you have to offer? Be grateful for who you are
and what you have. It can be challenging and easy to overlook amidst the pursuit of things, opportunities and money. If you ran Las Vegas, what’s the first thing you would do? I would focus on diversifying our business community. Gaming and hospitality will always be Las Vegas’ core industries, but diversification would make our economy stronger and more resilient to economic fluctuations.
Where are you now? I became an owner of Orgill Singer, which is now one of the largest insurance brokerages in Nevada. My partner Telly Eliades and I started a venture capital firm and invested in several projects, from health food cafés to restaurants, bars and technology. Most notably, in 2010 we founded Stitched, the men’s haberdashery at the Cosmopolitan. This year, we expanded Stitched to Miami and D.C., and have exciting opportunities in Manhattan, Southern California and Asia. I also founded a nonprofit club baseball organization with six teams that travel the country, a number of which are ranked top 10 nationally. I serve on the board of the Nevada Childhood Cancer foundation.
Biggest accomplishment since you were awarded? The opportunity to give back. We support more than 50 nonprofit and local communitybased organizations every year — more than $100,000 annually. What do you want to accomplish? Continue to grow my current portfolio of businesses so my children have a place to hone their creative talents, learn business operations and carry on a legacy of success and philanthropy. Best advice? Learn as much as you can. Don’t be scared of hard work; make it
scared of you. Always strive to give more than you take, because success without giving back is failure. The real money in Vegas is made before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m. In life and in business, choose your love and love your choice.
