VINTAGE VEGAS: EL RANCHO SQUARED

LAS VEGAS SUN ARCHIVES

First known as the Thunderbird (1948-75), then the Silverbird (1977-81), this troubled hotel was bought for $25 million by gaming pioneer Ed Torres and reopened Aug. 31, 1982, as El Rancho Hotel & Casino. It was the second time the El Rancho name debuted on the Strip.

Perhaps jinxed by the moniker, Torres’ El Rancho was never profi table and closed a decade later. It met its demise Oct. 3, 2000, by implosion.

Pictured here is casino worker John Ashton, putting a fi nal polish on a slot machine on the day of El Rancho’s grand opening.

Ironically, the property sat across the street from the location of the original El Rancho, which boasted a neon windmill and was famous for being the Strip’s fi rst major hotel. It was destroyed June 17, 1960, in a fi re.

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

Via Brasil recently started a brunch program that has been very successful. It has your traditional breakfast foods, as well as the rodizio meats that Via Brasil is known for. We have a waffle station and an egg station where you can get your food made to or-der, and our meat runners serve guests eight types of meat, including Picanha (our signature cut top sir-loin), Brazilian pork and garlic steak. There’s also a salad bar with more than 35 hot and cold dishes. Our fresh-squeezed strawberry, pineapple, orange and other juices have been popular as well.

What is the best business advice you’ve received?

One thing that always stuck with me is when my father told me, “Your restaurant is an extension of who you are, but when you begin to put yourself ahead of what the restaurant is supposed to be, you’re heading in the wrong direction.”

What do you find appealing about the restaurant industry?

It’s the part it plays in people’s lives. Many of life’s great occasions are celebrated in restaurants — birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, proposals, first dates. ... And each one of those memorable occa-sions needs to be handled just right. That’s the part we play, and it is the thing that really motivates me — trying to exceed each guest’s expectations and add to those special moments.

How do you remain competitive in the restaurant market grows with competition from restaurants with similar menus?

What makes Via Brasil Steakhouse something special is the care we put into it. I don’t just sit back and watch. I take part in the daily service to make sure the guest experience is something customers will truly appreciate. And while the Summerlin-ar-ea restaurant market is growing, Via Brasil Steak-house is constantly changing as well, introducing new menu items, seasonal cocktails and special events.

You run a house-infused spirits program. How did you come up with the idea, and what does it entail?

Bartending was always one of my favorite jobs. I started behind the bar at age 18 and was always try-ing to match different liquors and cordials to create cocktails I thought might be interesting. We start-ed playing around with infused liquor at Via Brasil last winter. A friend had brought back from Brazil an interesting infused Cachaca (a popular Brazilian distilled alcoholic beverage) for me to try. I realized

there weren’t any infused flavors for Cachaca and set out to create one for my restaurant. I decided to recreate a cocktail my grandfather would make in Brazil, something to warm guests up after or during the meal. My infusion is called Warm Apple Pie and to make it, we take a bottle of Cachaca and add in slices of green apple and a few sticks of cinnamon, store that in a dry, dark place for about a week and then strain it. The resulting infused liquor is mixed with honey and served warm. It was such a hit with guests that other infused cocktails were soon added to the menu.

What do you do after work?I try to just relax with my wife and take care of

our three dogs. Since I never know for sure when my workday will end, I play it by ear — maybe take in a movie or check out a local restaurant for a late dinner.

Describe your management style. How did you refine your management approach?

My management style is very hands-on. Having worked so many positions and knowing what is ex-pected of each, I try to impart any knowledge I have onto new hires and those looking to learn and grow in the industry. On the flip side, I also listen to what my employees have to say and try to see things from their point of view. I don’t know everything, and you never know where you might learn something new or unexpected.

You run Via Brasil with your wife, Anna. What are the perks and pitfalls of working with your spouse?

One of the perks is definitely spending so much of our time together, seeing how she goes about her job and finding myself impressed by things she does on a regular basis. One of the pitfalls is when work is done and we go home and discuss our day, it is about the business. It sometimes can feel like you are al-ways working.

Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years?

I definitely see myself opening more restaurants in other parts of the country. There are some ideas I have for the Brazilian steakhouse concept, as well as other styles of restaurants I would like to explore.

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

I could see myself working in graphic design. I went to school for many years studying it and actu-ally do a lot of the design work for the restaurant.

Whom do you admire and why?I admire my mother, because she was the kind of

rare person who always put others ahead of herself and sacrificed many of her own dreams to take care of our family. She had the kind of strength and will that made others around her stronger.

Q&A with AdAm gomes

Describe your business.

ZUU was designed in Australia and offers group fitness classes that run for an hour each. There are no weights or machines in-volved; it’s all moving your own body weight.

Who are your customers?

Anyone who wants to become super fit, strip body fat and gain functional strength. We find this means we have men and women working out together.

Your regimen is based on animal movement. Why?

Animals instinctively know how to move for survival. As a result, they are fast, lean and strong. Mimicking ani-mal movement enables us to make people resilient.

What are the benefits of such a workout?

We know that to strip body fat, you need to elevate your heart rate. Traditional training does this but can put a lot of stress on your joints and ligaments. ZUU is unique because you can raise your heart rate in a low-im-pact environment while increasing overall body strength and mobility.

What can someone expect during the first class?

First, you can expect a warm welcome. The feeling and energy we create in the room is like nothing you have ex-perienced training. You will leave feeling exhausted yet empowered.

What is the most important part of your job?

A ZUU trainer’s role is to inspire the class by doing the

workout with them. We believe that as trainers, you have to earn the respect of your clients before they will give you their best effort. Second, we strive to make every-one in the class feel comfortable. There is a great amount of team-building and relationship build-ing in every class.

Why did you choose Las Ve-

gas for your first U.S. location?

Do you plan to expand?

We chose Las Vegas because of the people and the cli-mate. Las Vegas has a diverse community interested in health, well-being and physical activity. The climate en-courages locals to stay in shape year-round, so it felt like a natural place to start. We plan to have multiple loca-tions in Las Vegas, then expand to California and region-ally.

What is the hardest part about doing business in

Las Vegas?

The challenge is getting our name out there. We’re happy to have had tremendous interest from the Las Ve-gas fire department, as well as Metro Police, who see the value in our training.

What is the best part about doing business here?

The people have been fantastic. There seems to be a wide variety of industry occupations, and we have met people from all walks of life. Moms, dads and lo-cal shopkeepers have been excited to embrace this new movement, empowering individuals to achieve and keep working toward being the best they can be.

Convention centers must evolve with technology

C onvention centers serve as large-scale venues for industries to share their latest products, services and innovations, which is why it

is imperative that these facilities are at the forefront as we approach the zettabyte era. To remain competitive in the coming years, convention centers must embrace next-level technologies, including advanced Internet connectivity, big data, cloud computing and social media integration.

Public demand for enhanced wireless services at convention centers has spiked in recent years, particularly with the advancement of mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT includes everyday items such as thermostats, LED bulbs and even athletic apparel that gather and transmit data. This growing technology segment has boosted the demand for reliable wireless Internet wherever people travel.

Technology research firm Gartner estimates there will be 26 billion IoT units worldwide by 2020, a nearly 30-fold increase from 2009. With this increased number of smart devices comes the need for bandwidth and infrastructure to support the IoT.

The greatest challenge facing the convention center industry is adapting to constant technological changes and demands for more speed and capacity. Cisco Systems

Inc. recently estimated that global Internet traffic volume in 2019 would be 66 times larger than it was in 2005. Data volume and storage alone have evolved from bytes to megabytes to terabytes and now zettabytes. A zettabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes!

Convention center facilities today need to be built smarter, not just larger. This means investing in the infrastructure to support events large and small, engaging with visitors in new and exciting ways, and using big data to create an optimal environment for attendees.

Developing a plan to exceed the expectations of convention center visitors can be overwhelming. Finding a technology partner that keeps up with the latest trends in the

market and creates customized network solutions is just as critical as adapting to a technology environment that is always evolving.

In an industry where no two events are the same and each event has its unique needs, the traditional telecommunication model does not apply.

Those in the telecommunications and convention industries would be wise to embrace such changes and adapt to meet the business community’s ever-increasing need for connectivity.

Mark Haley is president of Smart City Networks, a telecommunications service provider.

Vegas tech company brings online gaming to bowlingBy daniel rothBergStaff Writer

At Red Rock Lanes, Rich Belsky rolls a strike. He’s bowled more than three in seven frames, and this is just practice for his league game. Through his Las Vegas-based mobile app company, the Philadelphia native, who has bowled since he was 6, has more in mind than just avoiding the gutter: He wants to put an end to bowling solo.

Founded in 2011, the application brings technology to the old-school sport, offering players analytics, a way to keep track of their scores and a way to compete with each other remotely.

Now, Rolltech has its sights set on online skills-based gaming. After months of beta testing, Rolltech is expected to launch Action Bowling, a way for league players to submit their certified scores to daily online tourna-ments for cash payouts.

“It’s really unprecedented in the world of gaming,” Belsky said.

With the gaming vertical, Belsky hopes to modernize the traditional

bowling league model.Rolltech’s Action Bowling feature

will enable league bowlers to submit their certified scores to an electronic pool of bowlers throughout the coun-try. Participants in the prize pools can

choose from different tournaments, which are expected to occur daily, us-ing the application to process their payments through a secure platform.

Action Bowling is categorized as a skills-based game because, like a live

tournament, the competition relies on a player’s physical skill. It’s simi-lar to daily fantasy sports and online poker in that there will be buy-ins and prize pools, but the online league play is regulated differently.

“The legality is completely different,” Belsky said.

The number of bowling alleys and leagues in the United States has steadily declined, a trend publicized by political scientist Robert Putnam in his 2000 book “Bowling Alone.”

That’s a trend that Belsky wants to buck. “We feel we can turn (it) around,” he said.

The downtown-based company, which has 15 employees, has raised more than $3 million in funding since 2011. An investor in Rolltech, Zach Ware, a partner at the VegasTech-Fund, said the company’s value largely stems from its plan to revamp an ex-isting commercial model — bowling leagues — that is localized.

“Rolltech eliminates a huge level of inefficiency,” he said.

other — perhaps even for money. (christopher devargas/staff)

Station Casinos indicated recently that it intends to become a publicly traded company again, about eight years after the gaming giant was taken private.

The company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding a proposed initial public offering, but said in a brief statement that it had not determined the number of shares it would offer or the price range. Station said it plans to acquire its management company, Fertitta Entertainment LLC, for $460 million.

Station also did not specify on which market its stock would be traded. The locals-oriented company declined to comment beyond its statement and regu-latory filings.

Station owns 19 properties in Southern Nevada — including Red Rock Resort, Green Valley Ranch and Palace Station — and manages two tribal casinos.

A multibillion-dollar leveraged buyout took Sta-tion private in 2007, concluding about 14 years dur-ing which Station was a public company. The debt taken on in that deal became problematic when the recession hit, and Station filed for bankruptcy reor-ganization in 2009. It emerged from bankruptcy in 2011.

Frank Fertitta III, Station’s CEO, and Lorenzo Fer-

titta now own about 58 percent of Station. Deutsche Bank owns 25 percent.

Station’s net revenue increased by 5 percent in the second quarter this year — its ninth straight quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. The company has reported 17 straight quarters of growth in its adjust-ed earnings before certain costs.

In its registration statement with the SEC, Station sought to relay its own financial strength and that of the broader Las Vegas economy. The filing noted “fa-vorable economic and market fundamentals” includ-ing robust population and employment growth, as well as a record number of visitors to Las Vegas last year. Furthermore, the filing said that since emerg-ing from bankruptcy, Station has reduced its total debt by $450 million to $2 billion and invested $330 million to “maintain and enhance” its properties.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services also has re-flected a favorable view of Station’s finances, boost-ing its outlook on Station from stable to positive this year.

“The outlook revision reflects our expectation that Station Casinos’ credit measures will continue to im-prove through 2016, as a result of continued good op-erating performance coupled with debt repayment,” Standard & Poor’s credit analyst Stephen Pagano wrote at the time.

By early 2017, the site of the shuttered Riviera needs to be little more than a swath of land fit to host outdoor events.

That’s when the area must be ready for a major construction industry trade show, Conexpo-Con/Agg, to prepare for its March 2017 event there, ac-cording to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The authority, which bought the Riviera this year for $182.5 million, plans to demolish the 60-year old resort, clean up the land and then use it for outdoor exhibit space until work on a new convention facility gets underway.

Terry Jicinsky, the authority’s senior vice president of operations, said the de-molition should happen next summer.

The disclosures came as the author-ity’s board voted in favor of a $1.84 mil-lion, 16-month contract amendment with Cordell Corp. to oversee the pro-cess of demolishing the Riviera, which closed in May.

Station aims to be publicly traded again Riviera site to be empty lot by early ’17

A few years ago, after the recession pummeled Las Vegas, bargain-hunt-ing investors gobbled up cheap com-mercial properties throughout the valley, sometimes buying in bulk.

Today, the economy is on the mend, real estate values are climbing, prof-its are getting pinched — and buyers are taking their money elsewhere.

Sales of Southern Nevada office buildings, shopping plazas, ware-houses and apartment complexes have dropped in 2015 to the slowest pace in years. At the same time, pric-es have soared.

“The fire sales that once existed are much tougher to find,” said Brian Gordon, a principal with research and consulting firm Applied Analy-sis.

Investment sales are by no means grinding to a halt, but brokers, inves-tors and other market watchers say buyers have pulled back for a num-ber of reasons. Landlords don’t feel as pressured to cut their losses and unload properties as they did three or four years ago, when the economy was in shambles; sellers are com-manding higher prices — or at least trying to — amid higher occupancy and rental rates; and there are a lot fewer bank-owned, underwater or other distressed properties, which typically sell at steep discounts, on the market.

Buyers continue to hunt for deals, but “there’s just not a lot of them out there now,” said broker Cathy Jones, owner of Sun Commercial Real Es-tate.

According to brokerage firm Col-liers International:

n Investors bought 23 office build-ings this year through June and paid an average of $181.65 per square foot, about half the pace but more than twice the cost of sales in 2012 (87 sales at $89.11 per square foot).

n Buyers this year also picked up 17 industrial buildings through June and paid an average of $88.53 per square foot. In 2012, investors bought 77 industrial properties for an average of $61.11 per square foot.

n Retail-center sales and prices are down from last year, but the pace of purchases is the slowest since 2012 and, except last year, prices are the highest since at least 2011. Investors bought 17 plazas through June, for an average price of $158.36 per square foot. By comparison, in 2013, buyers picked up 48 shopping centers, for

an average price of $97.21 per square foot.

n The biggest drop in sales has been with apartments. Landlords bought 2,779 units this year through June for an average of $84,742 per unit. In 2012, investors snapped up 21,840 units, at an average of $65,425 per unit.

The apartment business — helped in no small part by the valley’s hous-ing crisis, which wrecked many resi-dents’ finances and ability to buy homes — has been one of the most robust aspects of Las Vegas’ commer-cial property industry the past few years. Many landlords believe the market will further strengthen and are waiting for big offers from buyers.

“They are going to hang on and get a little more of what they believe they deserve,” Colliers broker Garry Cuff said.

n n n

John Stater, Las Vegas research manager for Colliers, said the broad-er market’s slowdown isn’t neces-sarily bad and reflects a diminished inventory of low-priced properties. He said investors “found a lot of good deals” in the valley after the economy tanked, and when prices rise, sales volume tends to drop.

“We’re out of that desperation phase,” Stater said.

Investor Tyler Mattox, a co-own-er of MCA Realty in Irvine, Calif., knows this firsthand. His group owns 14 industrial properties in the

valley, totaling more than 600,000 square feet. After he and his partners launched MCA in 2011, their sales pitch to investors was basically, “How much worse could it really get?”

Their first building here was just 30 percent occupied, and rental rates at some early acquisitions had plunged under previous owners. Landlords did whatever was needed to keep tenants from fleeing, “to the point of absurdity in some cases,” Mattox said.

MCA paid about $25 per square foot for its first few purchases here. Fast forward a few years, and Mattox paid between $55 and $85 per square foot on four recent deals.

He attributed the valley’s invest-ment slowdown in large part to the dearth of financially struggling buildings available for sale. But he said good deals are still out there, and his group isn’t finished buying.

n n n

After the market collapsed, inves-tors bought, among other things, bulk quantities of office buildings, shopping centers and fast-food res-taurant properties in the valley. Such buyers figured the battered market would recover and their discounted yet risky purchases would eventually make them big profits.

The market was weak and unstable, and according to CBRE Group bro-ker Marlene Fujita, many landlords “were just cutting their losses” and selling. Today, with historically low

interest rates and increased bank lending, landlords can refinance their debt and hold properties for an-other five to 10 years.

“The urgency to sell isn’t there,” Fujita said.

One factor that could be scar-ing some buyers away is that, as re-searcher Gordon noted, sales prices are rising faster than rental rates, potentially crimping profits for new investors. But many landlords have cashed in or now are trying to.

One group that recently booked a big profit on a market-bottom pur-chase was Westport Capital Partners. The company bought Village Square, a 250,000-square-foot shopping cen-ter at Sahara Avenue and Fort Apache Road, out of foreclosure in 2011 for $17.5 million, Clark County records show.

It sold the property to New York’s DRA Advisors for about $37.8 mil-lion. The sale was recorded Oct. 2.

Anchored by a Regal Cinemas multiplex, Village Square was once a thriving shopping center that all but collapsed with the recession. In 2007, it was 94.5 percent leased, but by 2009, occupancy had plunged to 51 percent in its retail space and to 63 percent in its office component, according to reports.

“Once the recession hit, it just tanked, and it was a ghetto,” said longtime Las Vegas resident Sher-man Ray.

Ray and his wife, Linda, opened Avery’s Coffee in Village Square in fall 2013. He said their storefront had been empty for three years before they moved in.

Westport spruced up Village Square with new signs, paint, light-ing and landscaping. But the plaza’s upgrades “really didn’t matter,” Sherman Ray said, because residents “were so used to this place being so run down that nobody was looking to even come here.”

There were just a few other tenants in his corner of the shopping center when Avery’s opened, and within a month, stores had closed. The Rays had signed a three-year lease and worried they might have to shut down.

“There was no foot traffic at all,” Sherman Ray said. “There was abso-lutely nothing over here.”

Today, the plaza has a lot more ten-ants, and at times, Ray said, parking is tight.

“The center definitely is a lot more lively,” he said.

‘Health care is ... going to explode for the industry’promoted to the company’s corporate office in Atlanta.

“It was wonderful to get to come back and see how much the commu-nity had grown, and the university itself was phenomenal,” Campbell said. “When I started, there were no dorms; it was a commuter school. Now, it’s such a fantastic university. It makes me really proud to have gradu-ated from there.”

Campbell now oversees Cox’s residential business and supervises regional managers who handle com-munity, employee and government relations. Her part of the operations includes about 20,000 employees covering customer service, field work, marketing, sales and public affairs.

She and other senior Cox execu-tives came to Nevada this month for Get Started Las Vegas, an event similar to the television show “Shark Tank,” in which entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges.

Campbell chatted with VEGAS INC about the communications industry, a la carte television and more.

How have things changed for women in the workplace since you entered the operations sec-tor?

On the operations side, there still are not a lot of women, unfortunately. We continue to find them managing cable systems; we’re seeing a lot of growth in marketing, new business products, even finance. But in terms of general management, my level, they’re still very few and far between. Where we see them advancing is on the network and programming side, so you’ll see a lot of women who run networks. I think that’s pretty excit-ing.

What kind of advancements in technology do you see coming for the industry?

It’s moving so rapidly, I sort of stay tuned every minute and open the pa-per to see what’s next. What’s exciting to me is 1-gigabit residential Internet service. We announced in Las Vegas that we were bringing it to the mar-ket, and now we’re actually doing that nationally.

At some point in the coming year to 18 months, there will be things like cloud DVR. I think you’ll see a much

more robust video-on-demand plat-form, so you’ll have the ability to or-der a lot more movies.

Then you think about broadband speeds. You’re going to see the indus-try providing a lot more capability in speed than we have in the past, and I think that’s going to be great.

You’re seeing a lot of people try what’s called “over the top,” which is through the Internet — like a Netflix — trying a lot more niche program-ming to try to reach different groups, such as millennials. I think you’re go-ing to see a lot more of those pop up.

We are looking into lots of new busi-nesses. We just did a deal with the Cleveland Clinic involving health care kiosks in businesses, so you don’t have to go to Quest laboratories or the like. You can just go in your office, swipe your insurance card and visit with a doctor. That has endless possibilities for the industry when you think about connected homes and being able to do health care monitoring from home.

I think the health care world is just going to explode for the industry, as well as connected homes, not just with home security but with home automa-tion. More and more devices will be controlled by an app.

Will we ever see a la carte pay television industrywide?

It really is complicated. Think about the paid TV programmers, the NBCs of the world. They’ve been paid by those cable operators, like Cox,

as well as advertisers. That has been their bread and butter. And then we pass those costs along to the consum-er. I kind of liken us to the post office; we just deliver the mail. We aren’t creating the mail.

So at the end of the day, they are used to those revenue streams. If you go a la carte, ESPN is not going to say to the consumer, “You just buy ESPN without all of the other products.” Nor are they going to let us do that — let’s say we want to provide it over the top — because then they lose that packaged revenue stream.

Then they sell ESPN at, what, $20 a customer? Does that make up for the millions that currently take it wheth-er they want ESPN or not?

Try to explain that to the consumer, though. It’s very difficult. Logically, you say, “Well, why can’t I just buy what I want?” Well, the business model doesn’t work. It falls apart. When you start to pull them apart, and then they have to provide all of the back-office support, all of the sports rights or other programming rights, talent fees, etc., it makes it very difficult if you don’t have scale to provide those services.

How did get Started las Vegas come about?

We’ve had about 16 of these over-all. It really started as a brainchild of somebody who was in our corporate public affairs group.

They said, “Wouldn’t it be great, in each of our communities, to look

at people who wanted to start new businesses and then have a panel of judges, much like ‘Shark Tank,’ to re-ward them with seed money and a gift pack?” Also, so they have this entry into all of the other businesses in town, to get to know them.

From there, we worked with our Cox business partners. They invite businesses in the community, cham-ber folks and those who want to know more about what these entrepreneurs are coming up with.

For us, cable really started as an entrepreneurial business. It was just some guys who were trying to get tele-vision signals to small properties; they put in their own money. That’s really at the root of who we are and what we do.

Secondly, we’re very committed to being involved in the communities we serve. We have local markets, and we believe in giving back to those mar-kets, and we felt like this was a great way to do that for people in our com-munities. So we’ve been doing them all over the country.

What is the best business ad-vice you’ve received?

I think it was quite some time ago in my career, and that was: You hire really good people, set expectations, check in, and get out of their way. If you have really good people, they make you look better and you have less to do. That has always proven it-self out for me.

That kind of coupled with: When you know you’ve got somebody who’s not making it, it’s so painful to con-tinue on with them for you, them and the company. Once you make that call and move on, and you get somebody who’s really good in that role, it’s like night and day. You never go, “Well, I wish I would have held on to that per-son longer.”

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

One of the things I think is so amaz-ing in this market — and we’ve got it in other markets — is Cox Charities. It’s employees giving to the community, and they get to pick what organiza-tions they want to support. They’ve given more than $1 million to organi-zations in the Las Vegas community. It just speaks volumes about the cul-ture of Cox and how the employees feel about the community they live in.
