Luxury Estate Online Launches Luxury Listing Network in Las Vegas

Amidst the changing market, sellers are looking for new strategies to make their listings stand apart from the norm. Luxury Estate Online, a company developed in the Seattle area, has expanded to several key metropolitan markets including Las Vegas. The network boasts of multiple domains, using single-property websites to host a listing. Nothing new say some, but these domain names are based upon property types and subdivisions, not towns and addressess. For example, Gary Fisher of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas is the exclusive licensee for all of Clark County for Luxury Estate Online. He realized the listing advantage and negotiated a county-wide exclusive with the company. Consisting of more than 100 websites to specifically list clients’ properties, the network gets real estate seen on the search engines without having them buried amongst thousands of other similar properties in the MLS. Although the traditional methods apply, like yard signs and MLS inclusion, this network affords Fisher more than 40,000 links and top-level exposure on multiple properties on the Internet, where more than 80% of buyers begin their search. He has acquired 3 additional high rise listings this week alone from sellers who found the websites as though they were searching for properties. Websites samplings are: Panorama Towers, CityCenter Las Vegas Condos, Palms Place, Turnberry Towers, SKY Las Vegas or residential sites such as The Ridges Las Vegas, Lake Las Vegas or Canyon Gate Country Club in Las Vegas. The beauty of the system is that it also attracts top-level buyers to your listings. If you have real estate you would like to list in the Las Vegas area, please contact Gary Fisher at 702-335-5704 or email gkfisher@gmail.com Here are more sites to visit:

New Downtown Venue to Host Corporate Events

By Gary Fisher, Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas. Face it, we’re three towns in one valley: a tourist destination with world-wide name recognition and surrealistic Real Estate prices for Strip condos; a suburban mecca where the masses live, work and play as in any other city; and the nostalgic-yet ever-increasing-business and government sector known as downtown Las Vegas. This last area has more than $20 billion in redevelopment plans for economic growth and commerce revitalization to increase the tax base, and unbelieveably, none of it is for large gaming casinos and hotels. If more people knew that, downtown’s redevelopment would have already been completed.

Since this fact gets lost in all the daily glamour (and negative media) surrounding this town, I’ve asked several businesses and developers who have an impact on the economic and visual landscape of downtown Las Vegas an interesting question. They’ve gambled their future on downtown, and we want to share their vision of the good things to come based upon their vested interest in making their fortunes in this part of town. Below I’ve featured a new company making its presence known in the downtown area…

Q: In opening a business or in making the decision to develop Real Estate in downtown Las Vegas, how do you anticipate your organization’s influence on the dynamic urban economy, and what significant changes do you foresee taking place in the near future in this urban environment?

I’d like to introduce a company moving downtown to 4th and Bridger in August. The White House Multimedia Center, known for its unique style, service, special events, and computer-based training venues, is relocating to the heart of downtown Las Vegas. They will host special events and bring a strong presence downtown with their newly renovated 30,000-square-foot building. Melanie Bash, director of MEET Las Vegas, says, “Large, Fortune 1000 companies who utilize our venue will see the downtown environment, economic improvements, entertainment value and investment potential and take those experiences home with them.”

Dan Maddux is executive director of American Payroll Association, the parent corporation of Nevada Properties Inc, MEET Las Vegas and The White House. According to Dan, “MEET Las Vegas, our new state-of-the-art, multimedia event and exhibition center, is positioned in downtown Las Vegas for many reasons. After experiencing great success with The White House-our computer-based training center previously located behind the Las Vegas Convention Center-we decided that the best location to continue the success of our training center and embark on our new frontier is downtown Las Vegas.

“The new White House training center will continue to provide the latest in computer-based training on the 3rd floor of MEET Las Vegas. MEET will be a fantastic new addition serving to enhance the vibe and ambiance of our future downtown, hosting unique events and exhibitions in a facility that provides more flexibility and interior and exterior branding opportunities than Las Vegas has ever seen. When I describe the near future of downtown to others and the impact MEET will have on its evolution, downtown San Diego springs to mind-an area teeming with dynamic energy and a self-contained environment in which to live, work, vacation, entertain, educate, and do business; a walk-able downtown and arts district rich with culture, convenience, history, and a heartbeat.”

I wish them great success and foresee MEET LV as a partner in making downtown Las Vegas a first-class business destination. Scheduled to open Aug. 2008. For more information, contact Gary Fisher

Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas to showcase Downtown Las Vegas Real Estate

The Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas has announced the Downtown Urban Living Tour. The event brings business owners and consumers together to showcase the urban developments taking place in the greatest city in the world. Best of all, the event is absolutely free for participants.

The premier event, scheduled for Friday, April 4th from 6 - 10 pm will begin at the Celebrity Theatre (next to SIDEBAR and Triple George on the corner of 3rd and Ogden). Mayor Oscar Goodman will offer opening remarks prior to the tour. After an initial gathering with drinks and appetizers, registered guests can take tour buses to multiple business locations throughout downtown.

The premise of the Downtown Urban Living Tour is to create an increased awareness among valley residents that downtown Las Vegas is becoming the epicenter of a new cultural renaissance. Like the Gaslamp District in San Diego 10 years ago, the downtown las Vegas area is still in its infancy, but is growing rapidly. The area is undergoing a $20+ billion revitalization effort, which will completely change the landscape of the new downtown.

The primary organizer of the tour is the Downtown Coalition of Las Vegas. The Founder isGary Fisher. Sponsors and contributors include Streamline Tower, juhl lofts, local businesses and major developers Newland Communities and CityMark.

Downtown restaurants, art galleries, bars and shops are also offering coupons and incentives for those participating. For more information, contact the DCLV at (702) 335-5704 or email gary@downtowncoalition.com

Protect Your Assets

In the state of Nevada, liablity insurance is required of you if you own and operate a vehicle.
The minimum requirements are 15/30/10 according to the Nevada department of Motor vehicles. The general concern from consumers is obviously the high rates in Nevada and big down payments. Unless you have been in a situation where insurance provided protection against a loss you incurred, you can’t really appreciate the concept of insurance.

When it comes to choosing an insurance company, your choices are endless. However, finding policy owner who knows their agents name is not common. Offering excellent customer service is most important to me. Secondly, offering competitive rates sells itself. In the last 18 months, our rates have come down significantly! In addition, auto insurance is required. Some point in your life you will need insurance, whether it be auto, home, life, business, or your toys!

Navigating the Urban Jungle: Downtown Las Vegas Update

As a community of Real Estate professionals I’m constantly amazed at the number of us who have no clue what’s going on downtown. I’m making it my mission to answer the questions most in our field don’t even know to ask, so here goes. For those of you who are “in the know” here’s a refresher, and for those who haven’t yet ventured into the new downtown, read on.

Lady Luck Hotel & Casino: “The Lady Luck Hotel & Casino will soon usher in a new era of luxury and modern glamour in Las Vegas’ downtown district,” according to the Web site for the CIM Group (www.cimgroup.com) who now owns and controls the destiny of this seemingly abandoned property. The CIM Group is responsible for the success of multiple projects, primarily in Southern California, one of the most notable being the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood where the Academy Awards are held. The hotel and casino—as well as the neighboring block—will begin construction in 2009. The two existing towers of the hotel will stay, but will undergo some pretty major changes. Plans for renovation include creating 631 hotel rooms, a 50,000-square-foot casino and 22,000 square feet of retail space. “Through this renovation the Lady Luck will reposition itself as an upscale boutique hotel with a destination pool, spa and other amenities not found in the downtown area,” according to CIM.

In addition to the hotel itself, the transformation of the Lady Luck will spill over into the surrounding block and morph Third Street into a true destination. The CIM group is in an exclusive negotiating agreement with the city of Las Vegas for the redevelopment of the post office block as well. Third Street between Ogden and Stewart—now home to Triple George, Sidebar, Celebrity, and Hogs & Heifers—will explode into a major retail destination downtown. Think Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica (also a CIM project) and you get an idea of what the future will bring. The historic post office building, which the city now owns, will be renovated and become the home of a new Mob Museum promising to attract locals and tourists alike.

Project Live/Work: A project by Forest City Enterprises and Mitchell Holdings, this five-block area in the office district has a deadline with the city to reach a development agreement by June of this year. This mixed-use project will be home to the RTC’s bus terminal (now located on the post office block slated for redevelopment) as well as the new City Hall. This would mean that three of the five blocks would be left for private development and become home to retail, office and residential space. Currently negotiations are underway for a potential land swap with the city for parcel P/Q in Union Park. Construction on this project could be as early as 2009.

The Bulldog Site: This one-acre parcel on the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Clark is currently under an exclusive negotiating agreement with the city of Las Vegas (who now owns the site) and City Mark (the developers of Juhl). This would be a residential project, possibly offering rental options above a retailer, preferably a grocer. The challenge with this site is the size of the lot and the difficulty with parking. Stay tuned to see what comes of this site.

Gold Spike/Travel Inn: The two declining properties on Ogden directly east of Las Vegas Boulevard are getting a new lease on life. Both properties were acquired in the last six months by two separate owners. These owners have now come together and presented plans to the city to completely renovate the property with a high-end, very exclusive look and feel.

The ACE Downtown Connector: As for public transportation progress in Las Vegas, CAT, MAX and The Deuce have all been a success, but when it comes to an environmentally friendly addition connecting and transporting people to and within our urban core, there’s been a missing piece of the puzzle. Can I just say, it’s about time! The Regional Transportation Commission has started construction on the first phase of the ACE rapid transit system. The ACE Downtown Connector will run along Grand Central Parkway (alongside Union Park, World Market Center, the Molasky Corporate Center and the IRS building) and down Casino Center Boulevard, making its way to the Sahara Monorail station, the Las Vegas Convention Center and eventually McCarran airport. Word on the street is that within the downtown area the system will be free, and the trip to the airport will be about $2. Total cost for this project is estimated at $75 million and it is scheduled to be operational in 2009. For more information and maps go to http://www.rtcnv.com/.

Union Park: Last, but definitely not least, is Union Park. The “predicted core of the city” is destined to become the place to live, work and play. The city of Las Vegas has a lot riding on this project, and so far the future looks bright and progress can already be seen. The 61-acre, $6 billion project will be anchored by two key tenants: the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute and the Smith Center for the Performing Arts.

The Frank Gehry-designed Lou Ruvo Brain Institute is currently under construction and should be completed later this year. The project will be a world-class medical research and treatment facility dedicated to brain degenerative diseases. The design is architecturally fascinating, and more information is available in our article on Larry Ruvo (May, 2007).

The Smith Center for the Performing Arts will become home to the Nevada Ballet, the Las Vegas Philharmonic, Broadway shows and other traveling productions. Every true city should have a cultural center such as this and it can’t come soon enough. Construction will commence in 2009 and be completed by 2011. For more information about this project, please visit www.thesmithcenter.com.
