WASHINGTON -U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez released the following statement today following the transmittal of two reports to the President from the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and the Interagency Working Group on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). The reports provide recommendations on economic opportunities for AAPI-owned businesses and examine Federal Government programs to support the AAPI business community.*1

"I commend Chairman Rudy Pamintuan of the President's Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for his leadership in examining the current economic participation of the AAPI-owned businesses in our free market economy. I wish to thank Commissioner and Chair of the Report Committee Joseph Melookaran and the Commission for their hard work and for compiling this report to the President.

"Through entrepreneurship and innovation, Asian American and Pacific Islanders are playing a major role in strengthening our economy, growing jobs and keeping America competitive. The latest jobs report shows the U.S. economy continued to create jobs for the 44th straight month. In April, the U.S. economy added 88,000 new jobs, unemployment is low at 4.5 percent and even lower for Asian Americans at 3.3 percent (not seasonally adjusted).

"President Bush recognizes that minority entrepreneurship is key to future growth in the United States. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are making significant contributions to our economy. Most recent numbers from the Census Bureau show that 1.1 million Asian American-owned businesses in 2002 jumped 24 percent from 1997, twice the rate of increase of the national average for all businesses.

"Asian American and Pacific Islanders are making their mark in all walks of life, including business, law, politics, education, community service, the arts and science. As Chair of the Interagency Working Group, we will continue to fully support the AAPI community through federal programs and remain committed to strengthening economic opportunities to help Asian/Pacific Americans achieve the American dream. I look forward to reviewing both reports." *2

GAMING CONTROL BOARD: Guinn picks aide for gaming post
Official has experience with governor, attorney general
By HOWARD STUTZ
GAMING WIRE

Keith Munro, chief of staff to Gov. Kenny Guinn, was appointed Tuesday by his current boss to a position on the Gaming Control Board, the first time in almost 30 years the three-member panel's designated law enforcement position is not being filled by either a former police officer or an ex-federal agent.

Munro, 41, who has worked in the governor's office since 2000, spent seven years in the Nevada attorney general's office, working primarily in the death penalty appellate division. Munro was also a litigator for the attorney general before joining Guinn as general counsel.

His four-year term on the control board begins Jan. 1.

"I'm a career public servant and I saw this position as a way of continuing to serve and work on issues important to the state," said Munro, who is replacing Control Board member Bobby Siller, a former FBI special agent, who did not seek reappointment.

Munro joins Control Board Chairman Dennis Neilander, who was reappointed by Guinn Tuesday to a new four-year term, and Control Board member Mark Clayton, in giving the panel three attorneys.

Guinn said his staff double-checked the Nevada gaming statutes "several times over" to make sure he was within the law in appointing Munro.

"Keith is definitely qualified under the law enforcement position," Guinn said. "Obviously, I've gotten to know Keith and he knows a lot about the gaming industry and the issues the state is facing. He's a hard worker and the type of person we need in this position."

The Gaming Control Board was established in 1959 under Gov. Grant Sawyer and spells out the panel's makeup to include both a certified public accountant and a law enforcement professional. The chairman is expected to have public administration experience.

Neither Neilander nor Clayton are accountants, but both at one time headed the agency's corporate securities division. Clayton was also general counsel for several publicly traded gaming companies.

"Mark and I both qualify as gaming law experts and (have) knowledge of corporate finance," Neilander said.

In the 1960s, gaming enforcement was tasked with keeping elements of organized crime out of the operation of Nevada casinos.

Las Vegas gaming attorney Bob Faiss of Lionel, Sawyer and Collins, who helped Sawyer implement Nevada's gaming regulatory structure, said putting someone with law enforcement experience on the panel is important, but it may not have the same priority today as it did nearly 50 years ago.

"Underworld influence no longer is a major threat to gaming control," Faiss said. "The modern gaming control system was chiefly directed at getting any underworld influence out of our gaming industry and keeping it out."

Neilander said the issues the panel takes up today are typically complex ownership transactions, corporate matters that fall under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and financing for the state's multibillion-dollar industry.

"The issues involving the industry's capital structure and corporate finance are different now," Neilander said. "We still have within the enforcement division very seasoned law enforcement professionals ... "

Munro said he dealt with corporate finances in helping Guinn set the state budgets in past legislative sessions. He has also had a working relationship with Neilander.

"This is a very important state panel and it's the responsibility of the board that our business be conducted in an open and honest fashion," Munro said.

Munro will earn $125,112 annually in the position. Neilander's annual salary is $134,554.

Big plan for big downtown parcel
Project Neon Lights would rival Project CityCenter in size
By HOWARD STUTZ
GAMING WIRE

Robert Reel and Thomas Prato, who formed TR Las Vegas LLC, said they've spent more than three years persuading some 50 downtown property owners to package 70 contiguous acres of downtown land into one large potential development site, dubbed Project Neon Lights.

Click image for enlargement.

A pair of Las Vegas businessmen said they have assembled roughly 70 contiguous acres of downtown land into a potential development package they believe will link the Strip's north end with the city's redevelopment efforts on the former Union Pacific Railroad site.

Now, they're hoping to find a developer willing to pony up the money for the real estate, valued by analysts at $8 million an acre.

Robert Reel and Thomas Prato, who formed TR Las Vegas LLC, said they've spent more than three years persuading some 50 downtown property owners just north of the Stratosphere and stretching to Charleston Boulevard to package the land into one large potential development site, dubbed Project Neon Lights.

Reel and Prato said this week they bought a few parcels on their own and have more than 50 other sites in escrow. While not releasing any details on the escrow, they said they have both contractual and oral agreements with many of the land owners.

"When we find a buyer, they are willing to come to the table and listen," said Reel, a broker with Re/Max Achievers Commercial Division.

The pair have met with city leaders about their idea and they have been marketing the land package nationally and internationally to more than 2,000 potential investors, using a 12-minute digital video disc that includes information about the city's redevelopment efforts. Hotel-casino operators, such as Las Vegas-based Pinnacle Entertainment, have also been approached as potential investors.

"We received a pitch booklet on the plan, but frankly, we have $2.8 billion in development projects currently in the works, so our plate is somewhat full right now," Pinnacle spokeswoman Pauline Yoshihashi said.

While they would like to strike a deal for the whole parcel, investors can buy portions of the site.

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Thursday he hopes Reel and Prato succeed.

"I absolutely endorse the concept and I hope this can be developed in the way they have discussed," Goodman said. "This could be a tremendous boost for our redevelopment efforts."

The land, bordered by Main Street to the east, Charleston Boulevard to the north, the railroad tracks on the west and Wyoming Avenue to the south, encompasses land parcels totaling 52 net acres.

However, Reel said that when factoring in roads, streets and alleyways that could be vacated by city leaders, the site offers the potential for 70 acres of development.

"We see this as a one-time opportunity for downtown Las Vegas," Reel said. "This is a way to create a continuous flow for potential visitors from the Strip to the downtown corridor. This is the missing link that would connect what the city is doing at Union Park with the Strip."

The city's 61-acre Union Pacific site, called Union Park, is being master-planned to include residential high-rise towers, businesses, an Alzheimer's disease research and treatment center, and a performing arts center.

Reel said the site's size makes it suitable for a mixed-use development that could include a hotel-casino, retail shops, high-rise condominiums and other commercial buildings. He added that a planned expansion of the Las Vegas Monorail would continue down Main Street while any additional expansion of Industrial Road would flow into the site.

"The potential for traffic flow into the site makes this land very attractive," Prato said.

That concept of 70 developable acres would make Project Neon Lights a parcel that is larger than the 66 acre Project CityCenter, which MGM Mirage is building for $7 billion, and the Echelon Place development Boyd Gaming Corp. is planning for the 63 acre site on which the Stardust now sits.

"Based on the land assemblage we've been presented with, the site has the potential of being the largest privately-held parcel in the downtown redevelopment area," Steve van Gorp, a city of Las Vegas redevelopment manager, said Thursday.

Officially, the city can't endorse the project, van Gorp said, because the escrow language hasn't been shared with city officials. Nevertheless, he said the city has contacted potential investors, inquiring on the site's validity.

"We tell them that we are aware of the project and that it would fall within our redevelopment district," van Gorp said. "But we're not marketing the site and we can't make a formal expression of support."

The land's potential value is a cause for debate.

Reel said the site has a minimum bid of $7 million per acre, but he believes it could fetch as much as $10 million an acre. Still, the range is far below the perceived value of Strip real estate.

Brian Gordon, a partner in financial consulting firm Applied Analysis, said the location has to be viewed differently from Strip casino property because of its location north of Sahara Avenue. Gordon, who said he had spoken previously with Reel and Prato about the project, believes the site's true value will become clear a few years in the future as development moves northward.

"The site has the potential to be developed as a high density with mixed use, but it's definitely a longer-term play for an investor," Gordon said. "It could provide a potential draw for the area, but it's going to have to create its own critical mass. It's still going to require other investment in that area."

Gordon said the price per acre would be comparable to the prices paid for locations by downtown high-rise developers.

On the Strip, land prices have soared.

Last year, Harrah's Entertainment bought the Imperial Palace and its 18-acre site for $20 million an acre. Columbia Sussex Corp. is buying Aztar Corp. and the company's Tropicana, a deal that analysts have said translates into almost $25 million an acre for the 34-acre Strip location.

A potential buyout of the Riviera was derailed in August because company shareholders believed the sales price undervalued the casino's 25-acre Strip real estate parcel.

Wynn Resorts selects Jack Binion for key role
By ROD SMITH
GAMING WIRE

Wynn Resorts Thursday named Jack Binion as chairman of Wynn International and senior executive for its Asian operations and development.

"The decades of experience and unparalleled success that Jack brings to our company is extraordinary," Wynn Resorts Chairman Steve Wynn said in a statement. "Jack's guidance will greatly enhance our ability to deal with the challenges that we face as a fledgling operator in China."

Binion, former chairman of Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corp., will join Wynn before the Sept. 5 opening of the $1.2 billion, 600-room Wynn Macau.

Binion sold Horseshoe Gaming, which owned three riverboats in Louisiana, Indiana and Mississippi, to Harrah's Entertainment in mid-2004 for $1.45 billion. The deal included a noncompete contract that precluded Binion from working for any Harrah's competitor domestically except in Nevada.

In an investor advisory, Jeffries and Co. analyst Larry Klatzkin called the appointment of Binion good news for Wynn Resorts.

"Binion's talent and creativity in dealing with high rollers should be of big benefit to Wynn, and we take this as a strong positive for the company," he said.

Deutsche Bank analyst Andrew Zarnett called Binion's hiring a masterstroke, saying he understands gambling better than almost anyone in the business.

"His experience with his dad in running Binion's gives him unique experience in taking care of gamblers, and that's what the Macau market is," he said.

Binion's father, Benny Binion, founded Binion's Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas.

Industry insiders who asked not to be named said Binion should help Wynn give Stanley Ho competition in Macau.

"No one can do it better than Jack," one source said, explaining the one-on-one relationships behind high roller gambling in Macau.

Ho, until Macau Sands opened two years ago, had a 45-year monopoly on gambling concessions in Macau.

Zarnett said Binion has a successful history running a major gaming company.

"Also, his folksy personality will be a great attraction. But the best part of the choice is the mutual respect Steve Wynn and Jack Binion have for each other," he said.

The two reportedly got to know and admire each other when Binion was running Binion's Horseshoe and Wynn owned the Golden Nugget.

Wynn Resorts closed Thursday at $62.99, down $3.85 or 4.66 percent, on 2.3 million shares, more than double normal trading volume.

Las Vegas listed as 'emerging community'
Asian, Pacific Islander populations growing fast
By LYNNETTE CURTIS
REVIEW-JOURNAL

Sumeda Elpitiya came to Las Vegas six years ago with nothing but a suitcase full of clothes.

Within three years, the native of Sri Lanka had a stable job at an Asian grocery store in Chinatown Plaza and was able to purchase his own home.

"I love Las Vegas," said Elpitiya, who is now a U.S. citizen and the assistant manager at the 99 Ranch Market.

Elpitiya is not alone. Thousands of Asians and Pacific Islanders seem to share Elpitiya's sentiment, making Las Vegas one of five "emerging communities" named in a new report compiled by the Asian American Justice Center and other groups that track the rapid growth of the two populations in the city.

The report, called "A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States," is based on demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Census 2000 and 2004 population estimates, its 2002 Survey of Business Owners and other sources. It estimates that about 127,560 Asians lived in Clark County in 2004, a 41 percent increase over 2000's figures. About 17,527 Pacific Islanders lived in the county, a 37 percent increase since 2000.

The numbers also show that Nevada had the fastest-growing Asian population in the United States. The population of Pacific Islanders also was one of the fastest growing in the nation.

The report gives a more accurate account of the two populations than other demographic studies, said Rozita Lee, chairwoman of the region's National Federation of Filipino American Associations.

"We've known that we are undercounted for a number of years," Lee said. "We are like an invisible entity."

Lee said accurate numbers will give the two populations more political power.

"We need accurate numbers so people will pay attention to us," she said.

James Yu, chairman of the Asian Chamber of Commerce, said Asians and Pacific Islanders come to the valley for the same reason so many others do: economic opportunity.

"It's very simple," Yu said. "It's because we have so much business opportunity here."

Yu also said that it doesn't hurt that new residents can often get high-paying jobs without knowing much English.

"The gaming industry provides excellent jobs," Yu said. "It is a great benefit for all minorities, especially Asians who are limited in languages."

Learning English is one of the biggest challenges for many Asians who come to the valley. More than one out of five local Asian households is considered "linguistically isolated," according to the report.

Inability to speak English keeps some Asians from integrating as fast as they'd like to, Yu said.

"That doesn't stop them from working hard or opening a business," Yu said.

A Vietnamese grandmother, Hoang, who asked that her full name not be used, understands the language problem. The 64-year-old asked her granddaughter, 11-year-old Erica Nguyen, to translate most of her comments while speaking with a reporter at 99 Ranch Market.

Hoang came to Las Vegas three years ago to live near her son, who works in a nail salon. She said he helped her purchase a home here.

"I miss Vietnam sometimes," Hoang said. "But I like Las Vegas, so I'm staying."

According to the report, Filipinos were the largest Asian ethnic group in Clark County, followed by Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Asian Indian and Vietnamese populations. Native Hawaiians were the largest Pacific Islander group, followed by the Chamorros of the Mariana Islands and Samoans.

The report also said that Asians have the highest foreign-born rates in Clark County, with 59 percent being first-generation immigrants. The highest concentration of Asians in Clark County is in Spring Valley Township.

Other cities named as "emerging communities" for Asian and Pacific Islander populations were Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Houston and Seattle.

The CityCenter of attention
MGM Mirage unveils model of its $7 billion mixed-use megaproject
By JENNIFER ROBISON
REVIEW-JOURNAL

[[[MGM Mirage unveiled a model of Project CityCenter at a Monday press conference. The $7 billion urban metropolis is scheduled to open in 2009 and will span 66 acres. It will include a 60-story, 4,000-room hotel-casino, a 1,543-unit condo-hotel tower and two nongaming hotels.

As Bill McBeath sees it, the last thing Las Vegas needs is another hotel-casino.

And on Monday, McBeath, president and chief operating officer of MGM Mirage's Bellagio, showed media and gaming-industry watchers just how far beyond the traditional Strip-resort concept his company is going with its $7 billion Project CityCenter.

Standing over a model of Project CityCenter inside an office on the construction site, McBeath pointed out the 66-acre development's variety of components: In the back, up against Frank Sinatra Drive, a 60-story, 4,000-room hotel-casino with a curved, contemporary design will dominate the project's skyline. An ebony condominium-hotel tower with 1,543 units will flank the hotel.

Toward Project CityCenter's Strip frontage, two nongaming boutique hotels operated by the Light Group and Mandarin Oriental will provide 400 rooms each.

At Project CityCenter's heart will be 500,000 square feet of retail and two glass-condominium towers with a total of 810 lofts.

This past weekend, MGM Mirage began pouring the foundation of Project CityCenter, the largest private development under construction in the United States.

When it opens at the Strip and Harmon Avenue in 2009, Project CityCenter will create 12,000 full-time positions -- the biggest single injection of jobs into the market in Las Vegas history.

"(Project CityCenter) is a paradigm shift in design that creates a powerful urban experience," McBeath said. "It will have a plethora of entertainment, retail, food and beverage and gaming operations in one integrated campus. It really is paradigm-shifting in its scale, concept and financial cost."

Local gaming and real estate experts on hand to view the model agreed that Project CityCenter will alter the course of development and tourism in Las Vegas.

David Atwell, a land broker who helps developers buy and sell property on and around the Strip, said Project CityCenter would "ratchet up" foreign-visitor volume in Las Vegas. With a multitude of renowned designers including Studio Daniel Libeskind, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, Murphy/Jahn Architects, the Rockwell Group, Foster and Partners, Rafael Vi駉ly Architects, Gensler and Kohn Pedersen Fox, the property will have a sophistication that appeals to international travelers, Atwell said.

Plus, the Mandarin Oriental brand, well-known overseas, would also lure guests from other nations, said Richard Lee, a real estate analyst for First American Title Co.

Lee said Project CityCenter is a harbinger of Strip projects to come.

"This is the catalyst for our next wave of development," Lee said. "Over the next 15 years, all new projects will have different, unique elements and mixed-use profit centers."

Steve Bottfeld, a real estate analyst with Marketing Solutions, said Project CityCenter reflects increasing interest in creating pedestrian-friendly communities that mix residential and commercial uses.

"We used to say a home needed an entertainment center," Bottfeld said. "Now, homes need to be in the center of entertainment. The ordinary, efficient (hotel-casino) design needs to be replaced by an experiential design that makes the living experience more desirable."

Land prices are partly behind the move toward mixed-use development, said Brian Gordon, a partner in the consulting firm Applied Analysis.

"Real estate values have escalated so rapidly that property owners are driven to increase density and stretch the bounds of the imagination," Gordon said. "(Landowners) have to maximize the underlying value of the real estate."

Experts said cancellations of other planned luxury high-rises and mixed-use projects in the area, such as Icon and Las Ramblas, were not indicators of whether the Las Vegas market could absorb Project CityCenter.

"We're in an unusual time in terms of luxury condominium development," Gordon said. "However, the proposed Project CityCenter is unlike anything we've ever seen. I think the project's scope generates the critical mass that consumers as well as investors are going to be looking for. There's probably no other property with that kind of location sitting vacant today, so (MGM Mirage) has a tremendous opportunity in front of them. It's an ambitious project, but we're talking about a very forward-thinking gaming and development company."

Still unknown is the effect Project CityCenter will have on traffic and surrounding infrastructure.

MGM Mirage spokesman Gordon Absher said traffic-impact studies were continuing, and he had no details on how many additional car trips Project CityCenter would generate in the resort corridor.

But Absher noted the developer has struck a "precedent-setting" development agreement with Clark County that asks the gaming company to address infrastructure needs far beyond Project CityCenter's boundaries.

Absher said MGM Mirage would pay to improve the intersection of Harmon and Valley View Boulevard to handle increased traffic resulting from Project CityCenter.

In addition, Harmon will become an Interstate 15 fly-over, much like the Desert Inn Arterial, with an off-ramp at Project CityCenter. Traffic design will funnel employees, tour buses and service deliveries into the property via Frank Sinatra Drive rather than the Strip, Absher said. And seven valet drop-offs will spread traffic among multiple entry points.

Project CityCenter will also be the first resort on the Strip to have a fire station on-site. MGM Mirage will donate land just off Harmon behind the hotel-casino for a fire station; the company will buy the station's equipment and pay the salaries of its firefighters. MGM Mirage is also paying for additional fire inspectors at the county to handle the sheer volume of safety checks Project CityCenter will require.

"We understand our footprint on the community is going to be significant," Absher said. "We're willing to negotiate with the county to mitigate that impact. We know people are concerned (about traffic). We share their concerns, as does the county. We're looking for ways to ease the flow."
