Breathe a sigh of relief! Las Vegas’ hottest time of year - and our less-known monsoon season- are behind us, and I welcome you to the fall edition of Las Vegas Finest2. In this issue we focus on Henderson, twice named one of the safest cities in America by Bloomberg Business Week. Mayor Debra March tells us, “Henderson has been recognized again-and-again as one of the “Best Places to Live in America”. Our award-winning parks and trails, favorable tax structure, outdoor amenities, and outstanding master-planned communities all combine to help make Henderson one of the best places to live, work, play, or retire.

Expanding infrastructure and community development has Henderson booming once again; it’s no wonder that neighborhoods like ASCAYA, Lake Las Vegas, 7 Hills, Anthem and MacDonald Highlands (to name a few) have been experiencing significant growth. It used to be that only The Ridges in Summerlin could successfully present homes over $5,000,000 or properties on the market at anywhere from $600/ft - $1,000/ft. Now most of the Henderson communities mentioned offer select (new and resale) homes at and above these prices. The luxury market in Henderson has come a long way, and it is only now getting started.

In each issue of Las Vegas Finest2, we feature local hotspots and neighborhood gems; this fall, we share exclusive interviews from Henderson-based businesses. Read on for spotlights on perennial Henderson favorites, including Bella Vita, Lemontree, the M’s Spa Mio, and Cyclebar.

We’re also proud to introduce an ongoing feature from restaurateur Elizabeth Blau, and in this issue we chat with Southern Glazer Wine and Spirit’s Director of Beer Education about his favorite seasonal brews.

In the following pages we will dive into several custom neighborhoods including ASCAYA, a Henderson development for luxury dream homes. We visit 13 Cloud Chaser—one of six “inspiration homes” in ASCAYA—and present an exclusive interview with SB Architects. We also are proud to present the new face of Lake Las Vegas custom home-sites in the Estates at Reflection Bay. This edition serves as the perfect opportunity to showcase OUR Henderson real estate experts (on the page to the left). Speaking of expertise, we also interviewed Darren Weiner, whom Bloomberg called “the Jerry Maguire of Real Estate”. In our executive insider piece, he shares the work he does for the professional athlete clients and talks about what the Golden Knights and Raiders will mean for Las Vegas real estate.

To you and yours, we wish you a happy beginning of fall and winter transition. Please enjoy this jam-packed issue of Las Vegas Finest2!

‘The intention was to create a home as flexible as possible for multiple living situations’ The elevated mountain range and rocky landscape that forms Henderson’s newest luxury community, ASCAYA, celebrates its first of six inspiration homes. When one sees the beauty of this master-planned community, inspiration is certainly a key descriptor. With its exquisite rock formations, canyon backdrop and cityscape views, this development has today’s most inspiring desert modern architecture to fill its crevasses. Thanks to SB Architects, 13 Cloud Chaser has arrived and certainly takes full advantage of this unique home environment.

Designed on a triangular home site, this inspiration home truly capitalizes on its indoor-to-outdoor spaces.

“You can open up almost the entire house to curate how one wants to live here, whether you’re going for an intimate home (closed) or lively entertainment space (opened up),” said Matt Page, LEED AP, Vice President at SB Architects. An impressive 45 foot glass slider disappears to consolidate the contemporary great room with the poolside outdoor spaces, all while showcasing the glittering Strip view in the distance and offering privacy from neighboring homes. Strategic architecture seamlessly caters to the location with its use of shade, shadow, and striking design elements.

THE LURE OF LAKE LAS VEGAS The city’s most anticipated luxury resort community may have you reconsidering the bright lights of The Strip for the tranquility of the waterfront. Sitting on a dock with your toes dangling in the cool water. Taking in an outdoor concert from the private white sand beach. Watching the sunset from a boat. This is the stuff that dreams are made of, and life at Lake Las Vegas makes those dreams a reality.

20

Named for the sparkling 320-acre artificial lake it encircles, Lake Las Vegas is a desert oasis, spanning 3,592-acres in Henderson and widely considered “the other Las Vegas.”

We checked in with Patrick Parker, President of Raintree Investment Corporation, the commercial investors who own Lake Las Vegas, to learn more about the most sought-after neighborhood in Las Vegas:

The crown jewel of Lake Las Vegas is the Estates at Reflection Bay, the newest of six planned residential communities. Comprised of nine magnificent, one-acre waterfront lots, the custom-built homes are tucked within a gated enclave on the lake’s North Shore.

Second home owners, world travelers and locals alike are flocking to the amenity-rich development for its beauty and bustle.

The Lake Las Vegas Lifestyle One of the things that Lake Las Vegas does best is that there is plenty to do. The whole idea is that is an active place to live for someone who wants to make this their primary home or a second home. We’ve had over 40,000 guests since the springtime to visit and enjoy the watersports, like paddle boarding, kayaking and electric boats.

It’s estimated that more than $20 million have been invested in the community to develop infrastructure projects, including Lake Las Vegas Sports Club, Reflection Bay Golf Club and two Jack Nicklaus golf courses, Lake Las Vegas Village, Lake Las Vegas Water Sports, in addition to upgrades at The Westin and Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resorts.

We’re really activating the golf course. We’re hosting the first annual Lake Las Vegas Classic, which is a food and wine festival and golf tournament coming up October 27-28. Twelve Las Vegas top chefs will come and prepare food. In December, George Strait is coming for the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Tournament as part of the National Finals Rodeo.

The Renewed Interest From 2013-2014, new home construction grew very quiet. Then we all started seeing a bit of growth. Now we’re selling vacant lots again—people are starting from scratch to build their homes, and that’s a trend the whole city has had.

People, specifically from California and some of the colder areas in the East, are seeing us as a great alternative for a second home or a relocation and that’s what will sustain Las Vegas is that influx of people. Only a couple million people live in Las Vegas, but it also grows by 60,000-80,000 a year, and if a percentage of people want a custom home that’s all we need.

Multi-Million-Dollar Investment Well over a billion dollars has been spent over the last 20 years to create this community. We were fortunate enough to buy it after the economy changed, and we’ve been doing everything we can to refresh the space.

The general excitement around the development is new landscaping, new amenities and a lot of money coming in. Between the Sports Club, the Village, the Water Sports Club, and the two golf courses, we’ve probably spent $20 million on new amenities. The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa is spending about $30 million to redo its 500-room hotel, and the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Resort & Spa already spent about $10 million on its 300 units.

The New Class of Custom Homes We have a lot of great competitors, but the unique asset we have is a private lake, and within Lake Las Vegas, no one has the modern architecture like we do. Lake Las Vegas had a lot of Tuscan and Mediterranean-style architecture. The smaller windows and heavy columns characteristic of that style have been opened up. Our desert contemporary modern architecture has really nice sweeping lines, colors that embrace the natural landscape, and big windows let you live there.

Also, Reflection Bay has a real intimate setting; it’s a community unto itself. There will be a private one-acre park, beach and an entrance gate just for people within the community.

OBSESSIVE ITALIAN CUISINE with Bella Vita’s owner, Alex Montegrande

Tell us about Bella Vita, which is a mainstay Italian dining spot in Henderson.

Bella Vita means “Beautiful Life”, and being born and raised in Sicily, I wanted to create a restaurant and ambience inspired by back home. Bella Vita is different than any other restaurant because it has a very European feel to it. We have live music on a nightly basis on our patio—the vibe is like no other place I have seen in Vegas.

Your tagline is “Obsessive Italian Cuisine”. What menu items are your current obsessions?

I’m pretty obsessed with our entire menu, but the one that I’m really into at this moment is our Branzino (Mediterranean Sea Bass) in a white wine lemon sauce.

It’s so light with a very distinct flavor. Now if you’re looking for a pasta dish, my favorite and the most popular is our Tagliatelle Bolognese. It’s a homemade pasta with meat ragu sauce. All our pasta and raviolis are made fresh every single day at the restaurant. They are a must to try!!!

What specials are you featuring as we wrap up summer and head into fall?

We’re kicking off the season with a beautiful butternut squash soup and our beet salad with arugula. One of our most popular dishes on special will be our beef short ribs with homemade noodles in a Bolognese sauce. This dish is a hearty fall meal that will satisfy your taste buds.

We’ll also feature a risotto, which is creamy with chicken and asparagus.

Your daily happy hour menu is amazing. What wines would you pair with the delicious $7 bites?

Our happy hour menu is very popular because we offer quality and feature some of our most popular items on the menu as our delicious $7 bites. I would suggest White Haven Sauvignon Blanc with tasty pears and stone fruits to pair with the menu, as its refreshing and light.

For a red, I love our Salchetto Chianti…it goes perfectly with our antipasto misto and gnocchi Bolognese.

What do you like most about being located at The District in Henderson?

We really are fortunate to have our restaurant located at The District, an unique experience. I love the locals that visit The District; they have truly become family as we have guests that visit Bella Vita 2-3 times a week.

The District is not only an outdoor shopping center, but one will find some really trendy restaurants, from Italian, Mexican cuisine to seafood and American fare. www.b el l a v i ta l a sveg a s .co m

LIVING IN ZEN Zen is described by emphasizing the value of meditation and intuition. This home was meant for exactly that. From the serene courtyard to the floating rejuvenation room, 6671 Tomiyasu was created for tranquil living and peace of mind.

The modern architecture flows effortlessly and centered around a unique backyard that is soothing to the soul at first glance. Sounds of water fill the home from a 10’ waterfall which flows into a lighted river with multiple reflection ponds.

During more lively occasions, hosting is also a breeze. You have a remarkable outdoor entertainment area with kitchen, lounging and dining spaces, as well disappearing pocket doors that bring the outside in.

Life is made simple with the best in full-home automation.

This incudes state-of-the-art security cameras, intelligent lighting and thermostats, integrated audio and visual entertainment systems all controlled by touch screens throughout the home, as well as mobile devices and remote controls. In addition, the unique floor plan has it all. A large great room with an interior landscaped atrium walkway to the dining room, a media room, two laundry rooms, an executive office, two morning kitchens and a pool cabana with outdoor shower. There are two full master suites and two additional en suite bedrooms. Beyond the entertainment space, the backyard also includes a separate casita with exercise room and full bath.

BEER TALK

With Sam Merritt – Director Of Beer Education & Quality Assurance @ Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits

Its fall! What is your beer recommendations for autumn?

Fall is a great time for seasonal beers and ciders so, I recommend grabbing some of those before they disappear. A few great ones are Dogfish Head Punkin Ale from Delaware (7% ABV), Ace Pumpkin Cider (5% ABV), and Sierra Nevada Octoberfest. You also don’t have to stick with the Oktoberfests and Pumpkins to get into the fall season. A nice oatmeal stout like Samuel Smith’s from England or a the Brown Ale from Brooklyn Brewery are delicious.

What flavors make the above beer(s) perfect for our cool evenings in October and November?

The Pumpkin beers have the same spices as pumpkin pie and obviously those flavors are associated with fall but, if you go a little darker than usual, smoky campfire notes start to emerge and literally compliment that wood fire you’ve been waiting to build in your backyard here in Vegas when the weather cools.

We know you were involved in the creation of Big Dog’s Las Vegas Lager. Can you tell us more about this collaboration?

The idea for Big Dog’s Las Vegas Lager came about when I learned that Wolfgang Puck has a line of wines that, when purchased, a donation is made to our local charity Keep Memory Alive (keepmemoryalive.org).

This charity donates all proceeds to the work of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Downtown LV. The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain health is named for our Executive Director Larry Ruvo’s father who he lost to Alzeimer’s disease. The Center treats and researches cures for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, MS and ALS. I asked the

brewmaster at Big Dog’s Brewing Company if they would to do a local Las Vegas Beer to support the charity and this easy drinking, unpretentious beer was launched. It is in the style of American Lager and actually tastes a bit like Budweiser. only its usually fresher and made right here in Las Vegas. We’ve sold thousands of cases of Las Vegas Lager since the launch and the brand has more than doubled production year-to-year. We could not be more proud of this truly local beer and the work of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center here in Las Vegas. www.s ou th er n g l a z ers .com

UNIQUE STYLES

With Rick Walker, Owner Lemontree Home Decor

You’re known for being a resource for unique furniture and accessories in Henderson. Tell us more about your decorating aesthetic.

We believe the “bones” of a home should be neutral. In other words, we strive to create a neutral palette upon which the homeowner, with our help, can add color.

The effect is to add pops of color, which draw the eye and add interest and beauty to the home. This is where the personality and preferences of the homeowner are played out: their favorite colors, their hobbies and interests, and their lifestyle. For Lemontree, we look for pieces that are distinctive, pieces that are particularly bold and which will create a bit of drama. Likewise, we look for pieces that are particularly elegant, particularly beautiful, particularly interesting, particularly unique.

What about living in the Las Vegas Valley inspires your design?

Our city is so diverse, drawing from every part of our country and from around the world, and it’s a wonderful community to be able to do design work. Not only do native Nevadans reside here, but also many who have relocated for work, have seasonal homes, or retire here.

This makes up a diverse clientele, and we consider the opportunity to get to know our clients and their needs and wishes a truly enjoyable challenge. We find that many people engage our services because they want a whole new look, and that is an exciting time to come alongside them.

You’ve been named “Best of Houzz” multiple years.

How does this app and website help you interface with more clients?

We are thrilled and honored to be recognized by Houzz. It’s is a terrific resource for our clients; they can determine the looks and styles that appeal to them and formulate a plan as they peruse the website or app. People find us on Houzz. They see photos of homes we have designed, our favorite furniture lines, and the items we sell. Folks are then able to connect with us, as Houzz refers them to our website and our retail store location. Clients can either request design help or purchase merchandise from photos and on our Houzz page. Of course, we are so happy to respond to these inquiries and requests.

When we think of outdoor entertaining in the fall, we think of firepits and tailgating. What does your dream outdoor living space look like?

We love designing welcoming outdoor spaces for our clients to enjoy cooler weather, and of course firepits and comfortable seating are at the center of a great spot! Add blankets, coordinating throw pillows, and rugs, and you have an autumn haven. Heaters and ambient lighting can be interspersed throughout, and it’s also a nice touch to bring carriage lighting from the front of the house to the back to carry through themes throughout the home. And lastly, what firepit would be complete without tools for roasting marshmallows? www.lem on treeh om ed ecor.com

DIRECT TO BEIJING

Non-Stop to China’s Capital City

68

Known as one of the best in China, Hainan Airlines recently launched direct service between McCarran and Beijing. With impeccable service in all cabins— including the best business class this authoress has ever experienced, Hainan brings passengers to China’s capital three times weekly. Formerly known as Peking, Beijing is one of the most populous cities in the world, filled with modern wonders and traditional treasures.

Peking is the nation’s cultural and political hub and was in the world’s spotlight when it hosted the 2008 summer Olympics.

Peking’s famed sights prove to be worth the journey. We recommend visiting the Forbidden City with a licensed tour guide in the morning. Sunlight streams along the outer walls of the complex built during the Ming Dynasty—what historians refer to as Beijing’s golden era. Step inside to explore structures still vibrant with color; journey into the center of China’s imperial palace until 1912. Then walk to the adjacent Tiananmen Square, where the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949 and the Tiananmen Square Massacre took place in 1989.

Cuisine in Beijing is delightful, especially its famous Peking duck. Try to get a seat at the famed Da Dong Restaurant. Here one eats the crispy skin with sugar, and the chef prepares it tableside with a proper duck being cut 180 times. Other meals come with multiple courses, plates heaping with fresh fish and fragrant hot pots; what Americans typically think of as “Chinese food” is essentially fast food on the mainland.

Visitors can explore stalls and stalls of street food, as well as learn more about Chinese exports such as silk and jade. No trip to Beijing would be complete without journeying to the Great Wall of China. The nearby Badaling site is less than 50 miles away and known for being one of the most restored and complete sections of the wall that stretches as far as the eye can see.

TEAMWORK

IN OUR WORDS ‘In my humble opinion, I feel what helps Shapiro & Sher to excel in the Las Vegas luxury market is our experience, knowledge and expertise in negotiating, as well as our commitment to ALWAYS having our clients’ BEST interest in the forefront at all times. We also possess a mutual respect for other luxury brokerages and work WITH them to achieve a result that is a win win for all!’

- LISA GOULSTON F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘At Shapiro & Sher Group, we are a family. Our eclectic and dynamic team of agents enables us to learn and grow from one another. While we may all have different perspectives and approaches, our commitment to our clients is holistic and constant. Shapiro & Sher agents understand and appreciate the importance of the home buying and selling process, and take true pride and honor in representing their clients in these transactions.’

- MADISON BLAU F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘The best feeling of belonging to the Shapiro & Sher Group is being with a team that really cares about our happiness and success- both personally and professionally.’

- NOREEN LANE F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘Shapiro & Sher’s superior approach to meeting the needs of Buyers and Sellers requires acute listening skills which result in top listings and select Buyers who require the best, and know that’s in our wheelhouse.’

- ROBERT SIBULKIN F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘Shapiro & Sher truly cares about their clients, is honest, respectful and offers valuable advice. I like to think we go the extra mile for our clients and what sets us apart is that we don’t pull someone else down to build ourselves up. Integrity is key.’

TEAMWORK

‘The top contributing factor to the success of our team, is that we have outstanding leadership combined with the dedication of a team of Brokers and Agents who are all experts in their own niche of the field. When you hire one of us to help you sell your home, or to find the right property to purchase, we all work together to make that happen as quickly and as efficiently as possible.’

- EVANGELINA PETRONI F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘The collective, far and wide reaching networking capabilities of our entire team of unique sales professionals and their eclectic clientele is among the most valuable secret weapons of our company.’

- JIMMY FOSTER F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘After so many decades of proven success, the name Shapiro & Sher has become synonymous with “luxury”. In my opinion, our brand recognition is more significant even than that of Berkshire Hathaway locally. The name gets us recognized but the story brings the clientele. It seems silly to work with any other team because of how much we have to offer.’

- GRETCHEN WILLS F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘I think what sets us, The Shapiro and Sher Group, apart is our commitment to our clients not only individually but as a team. It doesn’t matter who the lead agent is as a team we all do whatever it takes to achieve the goal of the client. When you have a group of the top agents in southern Nevada working together the service and results can not be matched.’

- HARVEY TADMOR F i n e H o m e S p e c i a l i s t

‘A few of the things that make Shapiro and Sher unique are our strong foundation with the brand, having the knowledge to be considered the luxury real estate experts, and having a team leader who cares about the members, adapts well to changes and is committed to the growth of the business.

The team members’ willingness to help and encourage each other to succeed sets us apart from other groups, and our ability to be available 7-days a week is so important to providing excellent customer service. Having strong, knowledgeable and experienced professionals to handle the complexity of our real estate marketing, transactions, etc. is a major contributing factor to our success.‘

LOCAL PAMPERING

Spa Mio at the M Resort

After the busy months of summertime, now is the perfect time to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit… and what better way to refresh than a visit to Spa Mio? Located in the M Resort in Henderson, Spa Mio boasts an impressive menu of services and remains a favorite for locals. We talked to Kate Wind, spa manager, and she said that the personalized services they offer each guest makes Spa Mio stand out.

When asked what the most popular treatments at Spa Mio are, Wind shared: “Our two most popular services are a 50-minute relaxation massage and an essential facial customized for skin type.” For the guest that is looking to prep their skin for spray tans during cooler weather, she recommends the Aroma Sugar Glow, which is perfect before starting a tan. Described as “delightfully aromatic, the infused sugar glow is applied to the entire body, removing impurities and revealing younger and healthier skin. Relaxed and pampered, the skin emerges smooth to the touch and visibly brightened.”

76

As we are all about discovering the latest trends, we spoke with Wind about what is new at Spa Mio. With a smile in her voice, she mentioned that over the last few years, more males were coming to the spa. Now, men comprise about 35% of Spa Mio’s client base. “Since our focus is on customization of service and pampering, we don’t follow technology trends.”

It’s no wonder why this spa oasis is one that locals keep coming back to—Wind tells us that 70% of their guests live in the Las Vegas area. Spa Mio offers a 25% locals discount 7 days a week. After a treatment, spa visitors are welcomed to use the steam room, sauna, hot tub, and even M Resort’s gorgeous M Pool. Please call 702.797.1800 to book your reservation. themresort.com/spa/spa-mio Wo rd s B y S h a n B a te s - B u n d i c k

SUMMER MEMORIES

Family travels, traditions & explorations

For the Blau-Canteenwalla family, summer means travel and traditions. While we love our home in Las Vegas, it is a chance to return to my New England roots and spend time with family on the East Coast. We love to take a family trip and our son Cole loves to visit other countries.

One of our favorite summer trips was a family trip to Italy that we still fondly recollect over family dinners.

While we love traveling and exploring new places, the true heart of our summer for our family is time on Cape Cod. Every year we spend two weeks on the outer Cape, and love the relaxed atmosphere and daily routine of swimming, riding bikes, lobster rolls, ice cream, and blueberries. It’s such an important piece of summer and so much fun that our two golden retrievers don’t even mind the cross country drive to get there.

When we get out to the magical alternating stretches of dunes and forests that are so unique to the outer Cape,

our first Lobster Roll at Mac’s in Wellfleet signals the arrival of summer. And while we love the fried clam bellies, oysters, and onion rings of classic clam shacks, our favorite thing in the world is the rotating cast of friends and family that fill our kitchen and home.

In the middle of the summer, corn, blueberries, squash, tomatoes, and fresh seafood are the staple of our diet.

We make regular trips to Hatch’s seafood market for amazing fresh fish and the best smoked bluefish pate in the world. Bike rides to farm stands and field trips for blueberry picking mean that our kitchen is always filled with fresh seasonal produce.

People like to joke that our house is like a hotel and we wouldn’t have it any other way. elizabethblau.com

GEAR UP

With Gregorio Serrata – Franchise Owner – Cyclebar, Henderson

High-end spin studios seem to be the current fitness trend in Las Vegas. What sets CycleBar apart?

CycleBar is a national brand with almost 100 studios, but ours is a locally-owned family business. That gives us the quality and leverage of a national brand with the feel of a local shop. We wanted to make sure ours is an open and welcoming place for anyone looking for a fun workout.

Everything is waiting for you free of charge on every visit: shoes, water bottle, towel, lockers, fresh fruit, etc. We even know your name before you arrive! The way we treat our clients sets us apart, and we also have unique features not found in other studios. The CycleTheater has the best technology in the industry with CycleStats tracking performance, custom lighting, and CycleStar instructors guiding you through a multi-sensory ride.

You even can download the music playlist after class for free! Lastly, in the three months we’ve been open, we’ve conducted about a dozen fundraisers to connect with the community.

You’re located in The District in Henderson.

Why did your company select that location?

CycleBar is located in The District behind Lucille’s BBQ in the new lifestyle expansion next to Pressed for Juice, Drip Doctors, and Social Nail Bar. The CycleBar brand needed to match its location, and The District is Henderson’s premier shopping center and a hub for locals. It was a natural choice for CycleBar as a premium indoor cycling studio.

86

What class can you recommend for shaping up this autumn?

If you’re looking to get fit before the rush of the holidays, then you’ll enjoy any class because you can burn 400-700 calories depending on your profile. All classes are for all ages and fitness levels. The beauty of cycling is that you can bring friends of all fitness levels, as you control the pace and the resistance. You’ll both get so much out of the class. The CycleStar will guide you to your personal best, regardless of who you are. Our proprietary CycleStats will keep you on track, and you will always have a goal to reach, whether it be weight loss, fitness, or just having a great time while working out.

And lastly, what kind of promotion can you offer Las Vegas Finest2 readers who mention this article?

We’d love to offer a free group ride to anyone who mentions this article. We will reserve seats in a class for you and up to 40 friends! Workout adventure? Girls night out? Birthday party? Or just get together with some friends, we got you covered. It can be as small as just five people or as big as 40. Just email us at Henderson@ CycleBar.com, and we’ll get you all set. You will also receive our new rider discounts! w w w. h e n d e r s o n . c y c l e b a r. c o m

For more than 35 years, Marsh Private Client Services has specialized in custom personal insurance programs to better protect the unique homes and other personal assets of successful individuals and families like the clients of Shapiro & Sher.

As a client of Shapiro & Sher, we invite you to receive a complimentary personal risk analysis and review of your current personal insurance program. To get started, please contact Clare Schachter at 702-804-7440.

EXECUTIVE INSIDER

an interview with Darren Weiner, President & CEO of Celebrity Advisors LLC

You were described by Bloomberg as “The Jerry Maguire of Real Estate�. This sounds like a dream job!

How did you get into this field?

I was a sports and entertainment agent for twenty years, with clients in over thirty countries. As such, my staff and I were frequently involved with overseeing and facilitating their real estate transactions. We continuously sought a more streamlined process to identify the best real estate professionals, which would make the transitions for our clients much smoother. However, despite the existence of nationwide and global real estate brands, we discovered that the vast majority of these brands were comprised of independently owned franchises at the local levels, and there was not much, if any, connectivity amongst the real estate professionals within the same companies in different markets. This caused us to restart the search process every time one of our clients sought to purchase or sell a property. So, eleven years ago, I built my own extensive global network of highly successful, knowledgeable, and trusted real estate professionals, the majority of whom have worked with clients and customers in the sports and entertainment industry, ranging from teenagers who come into fame and/or wealth all the way up to the billionaires who own the companies, teams, and organizations that employ them.

What are the comparisons between the famous movie and what you do for athletes in real estate?

While we work with as many, if not more, customers and clients across the U.S. and Canada who are not in the sports and entertainment industry, working with professional athletes and their families comes with its unique features and challenges. The similarities between Tom Cruise’s character in the film and what we do are

90

nearly identical, while the only significant difference is instead of negotiating employment and endorsement agreements, we negotiate agreements to purchase, sell, and lease real estate. Providing extensive knowledge, insight, proper guidance, and a concierge level of service to athletes and their families is only one part of the equation. It takes quite a bit of time to earn the level of trust from which a customer or client, not to mention his/ her financial, legal and business advisors, will put their faith in you to handle what is often times his/her largest asset. This is why I have always sought out colleagues around the world who are not only extremely successful, but put their customers’ and clients’ best interests before their own.

In Las Vegas, we are thrilled to welcome our first two professional sports teams. What do you think the arrival of the Golden Knights and the Raiders will do to the Las Vegas real estate market?

I have been coming to Las Vegas for more than 30 years, and every time I return the growth in real estate, not just on The Strip, and not just commercially, but across the valley residentially, continues to amaze me. I was close to the Runnin’ Rebels men’s basketball program in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and experienced how that one team galvanized the entire city. Moreover, those young men drew the attention of so many people, many of whom weren’t sports fans, across the country for purposes other than gaming. A number of our clients already have their off-season homes in Las Vegas, and love the lifestyle, but I definitely see more professional athletes, celebrities and others investing in Las Vegas when the national and Canadian media begin to showcase it on a daily basis.

Pleae tell our readers more about your partnership with Shapiro and Sher’s new Athletica Division.

You might see Realtors who present themselves as sports and entertainment specialists, but more times than not they have paid to take a class for a designation, or paid to be included in a network with others sharing similar aspirations. Having worked with celebrities, athletes, media moguls, team owners, and executives from Hollywood, sports, the arts, and the music industry for more than thirty years, I have been very fortunate to work with and develop relationships with many of the highest quality professionals in a variety of industries.

Our relationship with the Shapiro and Sher group is one that has developed organically over years, based on trust, sharing of a similar clientele, and a genuine mutual respect for how we are always seeking innovative ways to bring our customers and clients unique value.

The launch of the new Athletica Division is a tribute to Shapiro and Sher group’s proactive approach to further distinguishing itself from others in the industry.

How will this relationship bring the most value to professional athletes moving into the Las Vegas area?

Our unparalleled combined experience and understanding of the local Las Vegas real estate market, including access to coveted off-market properties, in addition to the many years of trusted relationships and understanding of the unique lifestyle requirements and challenges professional athletes and their families face, not only streamlines the process for our athlete clientele and their advisors, but many of our other clients and customers as well.
