venture is Blue Ribbon, which opened on the 8th June, which is really an American bistro. We’ve got the more casual concepts like Eggslut, which is fast becoming an iconic, legendary Las Vegas staple, and then the Juice Standard. Which of the original restaurants have survived? It sounds like there’s been a lot of turnover. We’ve still got a lot of the original collection … Scarpetta, Jaleo, Estiatorio Milos, STK, China Poblano, Holstein, Rose.Rabbit.Lie, the Wicked Spoon [buffet]. With regard to entertainment, how many facilities do you now have for hosting concerts and events? We’ve got a few different offerings. The primary one is The Chelsea, which is where we do the bulk of our concerts. We’ve had some residency from Bruno Mars when that first opened and we continue to have a very interesting selection of artists coming through there. We have boxing in that location, we do mixed martial arts. During the summer we offer a limited amount of pool concerts. We just concluded one a couple of weeks ago, in conjunction with a radio station, which

had an amazing line up of very contemporary artists. And then we also have Rose. Rabbit. Lie, where we have a five-piece band, some great torch singers, a dance troupe that comes through. And last but not least we’ve got Clique, and we have acoustic sessions as well. On a personal note, why is your charitable work important to you? Just getting out there into the community and working, whether it’s with Ronald McDonald House or Three Square or helping people at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, it’s important to me personally. But, from a broader scale, every year we look at all the hours that we, the company, donate to those local charities and set goals with many of the organizations. And we have some Costars who literally will do 200 hours of community service or even greater. So we find it’s something that’s really tied our Costar community together. It’s something that we talk about a lot. It’s something that we focus on a lot and we’re just super happy to give back to the community.
