CONTENTS
50423214Tesla Motors had a home in Nevada long before the announced battery factory. J.A. Tiberti helped them build a service center right in our backyard.
� ere were plenty of chal-lenges to building the Linq, but now it stands as one of the � nest attractions Las Vegas has to o� er its mil-lions of visitors.
Want to know who isn’t going to let a water park fall behind schedule? Kids. R&O Construction had some tough critics to answer to.
� is boutique Strip prop-erty is almost a second home to Leo A Daly, the architect when the building was the Barbary Coast and later Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall.
TESLATHE LINQCOWABUNGA BAYTHE CROMWELL
There were pretty high
expectations awaiting the
Cromwell when it opened —
three years had gone by since
any new properties opened
on the Strip. The team behind
the property was ready to
meet — and exceed — those
expectations.

PUBLISHER’S LETTER
T he construction industry has gone through hard times for years now. Home sales dropped, foreclosures rose and building came to a screeching halt a� er 2009, but all of those numbers are improving. New communities are being
built and the look of the Strip is changing again. It’s time to show what Southern Nevada is capable of and honor the spirit of creation.
Contractors make up one of the foundations of our local economy. For several years now, the indus-try limped along, longing for the days before the recession. We are pleased to bring you a publication that shows that this is no longer the case. � e construction industry is roaring back as strong as it ever was, and this magazine is here to show you some of the shining examples of this resurgence. Construction in Las Vegas is alive and well, and there is new growth in almost every type of development.
Construction Las Vegas will be a quarterly magazine devoted to showcasing some of the best recent local projects, pro� ling many of the contractors that make all of this happen and giving you an update to what all of the contractor associa-tions are doing over the next three months. We’ve turned to some of the
best photographers around to help us create what we hope is a celebra-tion of one of Southern Nevada’s most important industries.
As this is a brand new publication, we may not have been able to visit with all of you to discuss opportuni-ties to be featured. If you would like to talk about highlighting your most recent project in a future issue, or if you would like to get your company in front of the construction indus-try, we would love to hear from you. Also, if you have ideas on how we can further enhance this magazine, please let us know!
� anks for reading!

Las Vegas has never been one to shy away from a little nip and tuck, and if the past few years are any indication, the best is yet to come.
The names behind some of the highest profile projects in recent memory are no stranger to Southern Nevada. Many of them have been here for decades, and whether it’s fathers working with sons or children asking Mom and Dad when the next water park will open, the val-ley’s construction industry is part of the lifeblood of Southern Nevada.
The businesses shaping the look of the valley know us better than anyone, so let’s never forget, it might be the show-girls who wear the feathers, but it’s the construction cranes that are the real backbone of Las Vegas.
They know us besT

This was the third major effort for Leo A DALy at this property acting as designer and execu-tive architect for the original construction of the Barbary Coast, the rebranding to Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and the complete transforma-tion into The Cromwell.

The property formerly known as Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall has undergone an incredible transformation thanks to a team of local designers led by the property’s original designer and executive architect, Leo A Daly. Preserv-ing the building’s classic history while updating it with hip vintage styling and modern touches, The Cromwell offers the feel of a boutique hotel in the middle of the Vegas action. An exclusive batch of 188 rooms, designed by Tandem, are modeled after a Parisian loft apartment—cozy and chic. The casino floor has been completely redone in high-roller style, with chande-liers retained from the original Leo A Daly design. Gourmet food service is available in several gorgeous bars and restaurants throughout the property thanks to kitchen equipment design by JEM West.
The Cromwell’s most dramatic feature is the unforgettable experience of Drai’s Beach Club and Nightclub. Two iconic rooftop spaces—a luxuri-ous pool area and a glamorous nightclub—are joined via an ingenious air curtain engineered by Finnegan Erickson Associates. By day, poolside guests lounge under great 30’ Canary Palms designed by Attanasio Landscape Ar-chitecture. By night, Drai’s brings partygoers into an immersive multisenso-ry world with panoramic rooftop views, a state-of-the-art acoustic environ-ment sculpted by JBA, and show-stopping CO2 effects safety-engineered by TERPconsulting. Supporting Drai’s numerous pools, dance floors, and bars is an impressive three-story vertical and horizontal addition, conceived and designed by Leo A Daly, and engineered by Lochsa Engineering.
With this local team’s work, the Cromwell has reestablished itself as an icon for a new Las Vegas, and set a very high bar for this trend of boutique hotels and nightlife.

Key to the property’s reinvention was the ad-dition of Drai’s Beach Club and Nightclub to the roof. The new structure by Leo A DALy and Lochsa Engineer-ing added three levels and 72,000 square feet to the building. Indoor designs by Tandem provide a chic decor day and night while an air curtain, designed by FEA, maintains temperature control while allowing guests seamless ac-cess to both areas of the venue.

The Cowabunga Bay Water Park in Henderson opened July 4 after construc-tion crews worked around the clock to make it happen.
Several subcontractors commented that having their children ask them “When will Cowabunga open?” served as motivation to expedite the project.
“I want to personally thank each and every subcontractor who worked on this project,” said R&O Construction Company President Slade Opheikens. “Their commitment to completing the best water park in the Las Vegas area did not just happen by chance. It was the result of teamwork from a commit-ted group of companies and individuals.”
Cowabunga (meaning “a yell of excitement”) Bay features more than 25 water slides themed to a ’60s beach and surf scene. The Good Vibrations slide is the first of its kind in North America. It starts off simple enough, but along the way riders enter two giant “rebound chambers” that cause inner tubes to climb the walls and rebound from side to side.
The Zuma Zooma blasts riders off in a unique “launch capsule.” Thrill-seekers love the drop from three feet into the air into a high-speed horizon-tal 360-degree loop. A trap door drops out from below, instantly sending the rider on an exciting adventure.
Other features include a Cowabunga Kids Cove, three pools, a wave pool, lazy river and more.
The park employs approximately 425 seasonal employees, including roughly 170 lifeguards. Cowabunga uses 1.5 million gallon of heated water recycled through the park.
R&O Construction used 3-D modeling and BIM to coordinate the layout and design of the columns, slides, 20’ deep caissons and bolt patterns. This ensured that the columns would be correctly oriented to fit the fiberglass slides. R&O also utilized Revit to overlay the drawings for coordination be-tween civil grades, miles of underground pool piping and concrete caissons.
A few more slides are being added to the project, which remains open on the weekends.
Teamwork geTs The job done
Cowabunga Bay, located at 900 Galleria Drive, is styled after the colorful, Beach Boys-chic ‘60s surf culture. R&O Construc-tion used 3-D modeling and BIM to coordinate the layout and design of the columns, slides, 20’ deep caissons and bolt patterns.

Tutor Perini Building Corp. established roots in Las Vegas over four decades ago. Our first breakthrough project was Luxor Hotel and Casino. The bold, innovative Luxor set a national trend for themed destinations. It also catapulted our position as the nation’s leading contractor for hospitality and gaming venues. Since then, Tutor Perini has constructed more gaming proj-ects than any other builder in the country, including the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Green Valley Ranch Resort, Red Rock Casino Resort, the Palms, the Ritz Carlton-Lake Las Vegas, Paris Las Vegas, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort, Caesars Palace Tower, the Forum Shops at Caesars, CityCenter, Tropicana, Flamingo Hilton Las Vegas, Renaissance Las Vegas Hotel, Trump International Hotel and Tower, and most recently, the Marriott Grand Chateau Phase Three.
While Tutor Perini is known for building fast-track hospitality and gam-ing projects, other significant niche industries are sports and entertainment and aviation and transportation. In 2012, we constructed Terminal 3 at McCarran International Airport. The state-of-the-art terminal is a model for airports worldwide. We also built Terminal D at McCarran. Other Las Vegas projects include Cashman Field and Convention Center, Sands Conven-tion Center, North Las Vegas Judicial Complex, Clark County Government Center, and Hughes Center.
To give back to the Las Vegas community, Tutor Perini has made a sub-stantial financial and professional commitment to Nevada nonprofits. We are actively engaged in numerous charities throughout the city, including the Shade Tree, a women’s shelter for women, children and their pets, Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada, Boy Scouts of America Las Vegas Area Council, and Three Square Food Bank.

Klai Juba Wald Architects has become one of the top casino and hospitality designers in and out of Las Vegas, handling more than 75 projects a year.
One of their most recent high-profile projects has been the Linq, which the firm has been planning out since 2009. Klai Juba Wald worked with Caesars Entertainment, W.A. Richardson Builders and Sellen Sustainability to not only figure out how to sandwich the facility between existing proper-ties but to ensure LEED Status.
Did you know that the Linq got its inspiration from Las Vegas? Part of a collaboration with David M. Schwartz and key personnel from Caesars En-tertainment, the architecture draws upon different eras in the city’s develop-ment, from its railroad beginning in the 1900s and the boom in the ’30s and ’40s to today’s contemporary look. While visiting the Linq, look for a little bit of industrial, modern and warehouse forms.
Of course, no mention of the Linq is complete without calling attention to the High Roller. With its 28 spherical cabins that accommodate up to 40 guests, it stands nearly 550 feet above the Strip, making it the tallest obser-vation wheel in the world.

J.A. Tiberti bought his first work truck in 1951, one year after opening what is now one of the oldest contracting firms in Nevada. After 64 highly successful years of general contracting, a second and third generation of Tiberti family members are making their contribution to our community. Mark Maffey (one of 21 grandchildren) is contributing to the family busi-ness, building with the same ingenuity and integrity that helped J.A. get his small company off to a good start in what was then a small town. The list of successful projects for J.A. Tiberti Construction is lengthy and continues to grow.
Tesla Motors came to Las Vegas to establish a service center for its rapidly growing electric sports car business. A location was selected in a building developed by the Tiberti family, which gave Tesla full service from negotiat-ing the lease through the completion of the build-out and grand opening. This model of complete service through leasing and project development to completion of construction continues to be a core business for J.A. Tiberti Construction and its sister companies.
Tesla Motors’ attention to detail and aggressive delivery schedule require-ments presented a challenge that Mark and the team at J.A. Tiberti con-struction met with passion and success. This has led to two more phases of expansion as the Tesla identity has been refined.
In 1950, J.A. Tiberti established family traits of integrity, hard work and honesty. Mark and the team at J.A. Tiberti Construction have continued with these traits and are actively building lasting relationships through suc-cessful projects.
With a strong team of employees and clients like Tesla Motors, Mark and the Tiberti family are looking forward to stewarding the family business toward 100 years of success.
Past, Present and future
Tesla Motors came to Las Vegas to establish a service center and J.A. Tiberti was up to matching the company’s attention to detail and aggressive delivery schedule.

Construction Las Vegas is proud to showcase the associations that ex-ist to serve. Whether small or large, the following pages o� er a look at what they’re up to and showcase the diverse scope of people and groups
that are making an indelible mark on Southern Nevada. � e diversity is vast — the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors, the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, Commercial Alliance Las Vegas and the National Association of Women in Construction, among others. � ey might serve di� erent facets of the construction industry, but their ultimate goal is to help their memberships succeed and make a lasting stamp on Nevada.
To paraphrase the saying, it takes a village to raise a city. In this case the village comes supplied with everything from erasers to bull dozers. No one
organization is totally responsible for the marvelous buildings that decorate Southern Nevada. It takes cooperation, and that’s where associations come in.

CREDIBILITYAn a� liate of the National Associa-tion of Realtors, CCIM Institute has more than 13,000 active members throughout every state, Canada and Mexico, and in more than 30 nations overseas. CCIM is the most prestigious designation commercial real estate professionals can achieve within the industry.

If you ask around the industry, you’ll learn that companies and other real estate professionals are more likely to seek out experts who possess the CCIM designation, as they know CCIM stands for trust, knowledge, reliability, hardworking and ethical.
INTEGRITY and EDUCATIONCCIM designees are bound to the strictest ethical guidelines and standards of practice in the industry today. In addition, each CCIM has successfully completed a graduate level program comprised of 160 hours of education.
CCIM courses are taught by active
real estate practitioners who apply their own experiences to their teach-ings, thus providing students with relevant and applicable informa-tion to everyday life situations. � e majority of CCIM course instructors represent some of top banking and investment institutions, commercial real estate companies and universi-ties in the country including Price-waterhouseCoopers, LLP, Grubb & Ellis Co., CB Richard Ellis, Colliers International and the University of Denver.

In 2011, the Las Vegas Chapter of the Associated General Contractors reached a landmark agreement with the Nevada Contractors Association that created unprecedented industry uni� cation, strength and leader-ship. While the two associations still maintain their individual identi-ties and branding, they share sta� , � nances, leadership and resources. � e trade groups also have con-solidated political lobbying e� orts, including � nancial contribution and candidate endorsements.
“� e combined group creates a business synergy that cuts the cost and eliminates redundancy, while closely aligning the industry,” says Sean Stewart, executive vice presi-dent for both groups. “It bene� ts our members by providing services that are either too costly or time con-suming to manage individually.”
� e consolidated group represents more than 500 union and nonunion general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and a� liated � rms.
“AGC and NCA together rep-resent an elite group of construc-tion industry movers and shakers,” Stewart says. “It’s your single source for everything construction: one industry, one voice.”
� e Las Vegas chapter of AGC was chartered in 1988 as a subsid-iary of the 96-year-old Associated General Contractors of America, which represents more than 25,000 � rms across 94 chapters. AGC was founded in 1918 at the request of President Woodrow Wilson who recognized the industry’s national
importance for infrastructure ad-vancement.
NCA, meanwhile, was created in 1995 with a speci� c goal of serv-ing the local construction industry. � e 18-year-old trade group works closely with building trades leader-ship and various government agen-cies to ensure a level playing � eld for union contractors. NCA represents many of the state’s biggest, oldest and more prominent � rms.
“Together, AGC and NCA provide a national network with local roots,” says Stewart. “We look forward to further strengthening Southern Ne-vada’s construction industry, thereby ensuring its long-term vitality.
COMMUNITY OUTREACHAGC and NCA have a long, rich
tradition of local charitable and philanthropic e� orts. � e Young Constructors Forum last year raised $2,434 for the City Impact Center as part of its “Urban Garden Exten-sion” fundraising campaign. � e funds helped build a recreational area for the center’s outdoor area. � e nonpro� t charity provides free medical care for children, practical educational classes, and addiction recovery classes and is a partner with numerous other community development organizations such as Angel Food Program, Cavalry Downtown Outreach and many others. � e YCF is committed to mentoring the next generation of construction leaders through an exchange of best practices and pro-fessional development.

� e Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors recently reported that the median price of homes sold in Southern Nevada is holding steady at $200,000, while fewer buyers are paying cash for local homes.
� e median price of single-family homes sold through GLVAR’s mul-tiple listing service during August was $200,000, up 9.9 percent from one year ago. � at matched the price in July, which marked the � rst time since August of 2008 that GLVAR reported local single-family home prices hitting the $200,000 mark. Meanwhile, the median price of condominiums and town homes sold in August was $105,000, down 0.9 percent from $106,000 in July, but up 14.8 percent from one year ago.
“A� er appreciating at a fairly rapid rate for more than two years, local home prices have been leveling o�
lately,” said GLVAR President Heidi Kasama, a longtime local Realtor. “It was only a matter of time before we stopped seeing home prices rise by double-digit percentages.”
GLVAR’s median local home price is up from a recent low of $118,000 in January 2012.
GLVAR said 32.1 percent of all existing local homes sold in August were purchased with cash. � at’s near a � ve-year low and well short of the February 2013 peak of 59.5 percent.
Kasama said local home sales so far in 2014 are running about 13 percent behind last year’s pace. � e three-month supply of avail-able properties is about half of what Realtors consider to be a balanced market, she added.

President � eodore Roosevelt once said, “Every man owes a part of his time and money to the business or industry in which he is engaged. No man has a moral right to withhold his support from an organization that is striving to improve condi-tions within his sphere.”
� is notion, in part, is what drives the Associated Builders and Con-tractors of Nevada and its members.
ABC Nevada is the state chapter of a national construction trade as-sociation dedicated to the preserva-tion of free enterprise and open and fair competition in the construction industry. ABC is a member-driven organization committed to the bet-terment of the industry in which its members make a living.
ABC is sometimes identi� ed as an organization that represents the 85 percent of the construction industry that works “non-union, also called open or merit shop.” � e association is not o� ended by that designation because it is essentially true.
However, it is not the position of ABC that only non-union contrac-
tors should be used on construction projects to the exclusion of union companies. Our philosophy holds that both merit contractors and union � rms should work side-by-side, free of coercion or outside interference to provide on-time, on-budget construction with safety, quality and cost e� ectiveness as its goal.
Membership services focus on government a� airs, education pro-grams, safety programs and member recognition.
ABC Nevada is proud of the productive work its members have accomplished through the years to advance the interests of those who earn their living in construction. � e past few years have easily been the most di� cult in the history of the construction industry. However, the resilience and “can do” attitude of ABC members guarantees that in every aspect, the best is yet to come for Nevada’s construction industry and the great men and women who have chosen construction as their career.

� e Nevada Association of Realtors represents the more than 13,000 Re-altors working throughout the state.
NVAR provides a wide range of services to its members, includ-ing operating a legal information hotline for Realtors. � e association also holds regular meetings for its board of directors and members and supports events and programs related to real estate, the housing market and related issues.
As part of its mission, NVAR works with state and local govern-ment leaders to advocate for the interests of its members, to provide useful information, to help shape public policy and to protect private property rights.
As a recent example, NVAR is part of a statewide coalition of lead-ing businesses, citizens, community and industry organizations working to oppose Question 3 in the Nov. 4 general election in Nevada because the association and its members
believe the so-called margin tax the ballot question would create would be detrimental to Nevada. NVAR is encouraging its members and all Nevadans to vote against this ballot question.
“� e Nevada Association of Realtors supports e� orts to im-prove education,” explained NVAR President Kolleen Kelley, a longtime Las Vegas Realtor. “Some of the � rst questions prospective home buyers ask about our great state are about our education system and school districts. Funding is always a factor in improving education, and so are systemic reforms. NVAR is part of the coalition � ghting Question 3, the Education Initiative, because we believe that it’s a � awed and unfair tax that will contribute to job losses in Nevada, and more importantly, adversely and unfairly impact many real estate brokerages in Nevada. Question 3 is not the answer to this issue.”

ASSOCIATION PROFILES
CALV organizes and empowers the local commercial real estate industry.
� e Commercial Alliance Las Vegas, one of the largest organiza-tions in Southern Nevada for the commercial real estate industry, is devoted to uniting, organizing and empowering the industry, largely through education, information and through shaping public policy.
In addition to holding monthly meetings of the CALV Board of Di-rectors, CALV also presents at least two major industry events each year.
� e � rst is an increasingly popu-lar spring mixer for commercial and other real estate professionals, usually held at Cili restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip.
� e second is the annual Com-mercial Alliance Educational Symposium, which was just held on Sept. 19 at the Gold Coast hotel-ca-sino. Highlighting this year’s CALV Symposium, its ninth such annual event, was a luncheon featuring a
lively panel discussion by local real estate legends Ed Nigro and John Midby.
In addition to educational ses-sions where real estate profession-als can earn continuing education credits to help them maintain their real estate licenses, members of the media and the public are invited to attend the annual symposium luncheon. � e theme for the Sept. 19 panel discussion focusing on how the local real estate industry has evolved over the decades was “Las Vegas Real Estate Legends: When Cocktail Napkins Were Contracts.”
In addition to the luncheon, nationally known commercial real estate speakers and instructors Dr. Mark Dotzour, Todd Kuhlmann, CCIM, and Soozi Jones Walker, CCIM and SIOR, conducted courses during the symposium. Real estate professionals can earn up to six hours of continuing education credits by attending morning and a� ernoon classes.
