VINTAGE VEGAS: TALLYHO TRANSFORMED
KEN JONES/LAS VEGAS SUN ARCHIVES
In 1962, Edwin S. Lowe, inventor of the dice game Yahtzee, invested on the east side of the Strip by building a $12 million, 322-room English Tudor-style property named Tallyho. Built without a casino, the property quickly failed and shut its doors a year later.
Hotel developer Milton Prell bought the property and renovated it, adding a casino and a 500-seat theater, and infusing the resort with Mediterranean touches.
The Aladdin opened at midnight April 1, 1966, with a black-tie affair. Pictured here is the property under construction in 1964 . Behind the new addition is the original hotel featuring English Tudor architecture.
On April 27, 1998, the property was imploded to make way for a new megaresort, known today as Planet Hollywood .

oct. 11 - oct. 17
What is the best business advice you’ve received, and whom did it come from?
My mentor, Ray Wilkinson, said: “Do what you say you are going to do.” That’s very simple — manage expec-tations.
If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be?
I absolutely love Southern Nevada but I would love to enhance entrepre-neurial exposure for our elementary and middle school children. I believe we need to reach them early. If you can’t get a job, create one. I started my first business at 14 years old.
What challenges do small-busi-ness owners face in Southern Nevada?
Things are getting a lot better for our small businesses. However, we still have a challenge with access to capital for innovative and technolog-ical companies. Smaller and minor-ity-owned companies still struggle with contracting opportunities with government and public agencies. We are working toward solutions in that area.
What issues did you address at the Small Business Leadership Summit? What policies do you think need to change to encour-age small business?
We addressed opportunities for small businesses to compete in a global market, access to capital with major banks and increased oppor-tunities for federal, state and local contracting for small businesses. We have to understand that small busi-nesses are the answer to high unem-ployment rates in all states. We hire faster. We develop happy work envi-ronments. We give our employees a better opportunity to build a career or another small business.
What has been your most excit-ing professional project to date?
We are working on a project that builds small businesses, state infra-structure and careers in construction
with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. Working with small- and minority-owned businesses on Fuel Revenue Indexing projects throughout South-ern Nevada has helped secure proj-ects for 71 local small businesses. Approximately 3,378 jobs were either created, secured or regained in the market. Plus, we have 109 design and construction projects to date fixing our community’s roads.
What advice would you give to emerging entrepreneurs?
I would give them a Scripture. Thessalonians 3:10 states, “If a man is not willing to work, he shall not eat.” As an employee, you get paid for showing up to work every two weeks. Entrepreneurs must understand that compensation might not be in-stant. A proverb that I would change is: “Give a man a fish. Feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish. Feed him for a lifetime.” Dennis Kimbro, au-thor of “The Wealth Choice: Success Secrets of Black Millionaires,” said, “Teach a man to own a pond, and he can help his entire community!” En-trepreneurs should focus on building a business to build their community.
What are you reading?I am reading two books — “Good to
Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don’t” by Jim Collins, and I just started reading “Mastering the Rockefeller Habits” by Verne Harnish.
What do you do after work?I spend a lot time with my wife.
I play golf and watch sports or The History Channel. I am active in my church as a youth Bible school in-structor. My wife and I have eight children and 11 grandchildren to hang with too.
Describe your management style. How did you refine your management approach?
I use the empowerment style of management. I spend a lot of time teaching and training the Sumnu approach to everything. Strategy is first. Why are we doing it? Tactics are second. What resources are avail-able? Execution is next. How are we going to achieve excellence in our execution? Finally, planning always is essential. The first letters of each step spells “STEP.”
Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years?
I am building Sumnu Marketing to be a legacy. Our family-owned busi-ness includes my wife, daughter and
niece as the principals. We will pass the torch to the next generation. Our grandchildren, nephews and nieces should follow.
What is your dream job, outside of your current field?
I would enjoy being a high school football coach. I love to mentor, teach and inspire. I choose high school football because our country and the world needs good, strong, Christian men.
If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?
I would love to live in different ar-eas in and out of the country spon-taneously, depending on my mood. I just want that freedom before I leave this Earth.
Whom do you admire and why?I admire my entrepreneurial men-
tor, Michael Collins. I admire my dad for his African-American pride. I admire my mom for her incredible strength. I admire my wife for her loyalty. Finally, I admire my pastor for his spiritual knowledge and the ability to transfer that knowledge to others.
What is your biggest pet peeve?Excuses! I don’t believe in excuses.
Excuses become a hindrance to ex-cellence. You can make an excuse for anything.
Where do you like to go for busi-ness lunches?
My choice for a business lunch de-pends on my mood. I use Gritz Café because it’s a family-owned small business. Or, I will invite people to Jamms Restaurant on Rainbow Bou-levard for a similar reason and the potted bread.
What is something people might not know about you?
I was a teenage father who took the responsibility to raise my daughter and my other three children. Later, I became a single father of four. I mar-ried a single mother of four. That was 21 years ago.

Describe your business.
Zydeco Po-Boys is a restaurant offering southwest Louisiana style po’boy sandwiches, gumbo and red beans and rice. We also have beer and Louisiana daiquiris.
Is there a market for po’boys in
Las Vegas?
Las Vegas is an adventurous cu-linary city. It’s a city that likes to try new things and experience new fl avors, and authentic, quality food is appreciated here. There were people here just waiting for Zydeco to open because it’s food they al-ready have experienced and love. There also have been a lot of customers who are experiencing Cajun cuisine for the fi rst time and discovering they love it.
My fi rst experiences in the kitchen were watching my mama prepare some of the dishes I serve at Zydeco Po-Boys, and I think that authenticity and tradition comes through in our food.
What is the hardest part about doing business in Las
Vegas?
Diffi culty in fi nding certain authentic Cajun ingredients . Things like the type of quality, affordable seafood you can get easily on the Louisiana coast are obviously much more diffi cult to source in the desert.
What is the best part about doing business here?
Our tourist traffi c allows me to introduce authentic Ca-jun food to people from across the globe, and that’s pretty inspiring and fulfi lling.
You lost your home, businesses and livelihood to Hur-
ricane Rita in 2005. What happened?
I had a 6,000-square-foot commercial laundry that I
lived above, and a 10,000-square-foot property I was refurbishing into a new commercial laundry facility. Hurricane Rita lifted the 6,000-square-foot building and left behind only a cement slab. The 10,000-square-foot facility was re-duced to a shell and fi lled with debris. All of the work I put into that new fa-cility literally was washed away. My former business was destroyed, so I
had a choice — try to rebuild with limited insurance funds or start over and do something completely new.
That’s when I decided to follow my life long passion for food and go to culinary school. I enrolled at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, then moved to Las Vegas in 2007 for an externship at Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House. After that, I worked at Emeril’s Table 10 in the Venetian, then Marche Bacchus, then I started working for a small catering business and doing personal chef work. That led me to Downtown Project, which is my partner in Zydeco Po-Boys.
What did that experience teach you?
When I owned the laundry, it was all about work and money. The more money I made, the more I spent, and the more things I had. I had personal relationships, but business always came fi rst and the people in my life came second. What I’ve learned from losing everything is that it’s not about how much money you can make, and it’s not about the amount of stuff in your life; it’s about the quality in your life. It’s about being happy in what you do for a liv-ing and enjoying life, it’s about creating memories . Money makes life easier, and it gives you security, but it doesn’t make life happier. I run Zydeco differently than the laun-dry because I love this business . Another thing I learned : Have a good insurance agent.
He lost everything, and found himself

Stakes too high to be complacent about cybersecurity
A s reminders go, National Cyber Security Month, being observed for the 12th consecutive year this month, is a double-edged sword.
It reminds us first that this is a dangerous world and there are bad actors out there.
If you doubt that, consider what happened to a top computer security outfit not long ago. A single employee ignored established procedures and opened an email attachment from an unknown source. The result was the infiltration of malware that compromised the company’s principal product. This created a problem that took millions of dollars to fix.
Or consider the Silicon Valley firm with an employee who was taken in by an executive impersonation and wired nearly $50 million overseas, where it disappeared.
These were sophisticated technology companies, so you have to wonder whether anyone can be safe.
In fact, however, we are not helpless. The positive message of National Cyber Security Month is that there are things we all can do to protect ourselves online. This applies to small businesses as well as to individuals and families.
As a business owner, your first step is to have a prevention plan in place, one that identifies policies and procedures to reduce the risk of cyberattacks.
Where can you find help creating a plan?n Consult online resources, such as the Small Biz Cyber
Planner maintained by the Federal Communications Commission (fcc.gov).
n Talk to your Internet service provider. Many have services devoted to helping business customers.
n Reach out to the company that provides your security software. Many have special
services for small businesses.n Talk to your banker. Treasury management specialists
can help you identify ways to protect against cyberfraud.A good plan will cover both data and network security.
Procedures pertaining to email, mobile devices and the company’s website will be spelled out.
Once a plan is in hand, it’s time for the all-important step of educating employees. Actually, it’s more than education; it’s a question of creating a culture of cyberawareness and the willingness to comply that comes from understanding just how high the stakes are. Cybersecurity should be the focus of a continuing dialogue.
An employee who has been educated and who understand the risks will delete suspicious emails instead of clicking on attachments. When the right policies and procedures are in place, well-informed employees will follow them. An employee who understands the breadth of wire fraud schemes is is less likely to fall for a masquerade and more likely to comply with procedures such as enhanced authentication designed to defeat the fraud.
As National Cyber Security Month reminds us, it can be done.John Wilcox is the Nevada regional executive at City
National Bank.

North Las Vegas officials touted the opening of a new plastic manu-facturing plant recently as a sign of positive economic growth in the city.
Employees of the company, Park-er Plastics, gathered with city and state officials, customers and oth-ers to celebrate the opening of its 70,000-square-foot plant, the com-pany’s fourth in the nation and first in the West. The company hopes the Southern Nevada plant will help ex-pand its business on the West Coast.
“We’re excited to be here in Ne-
vada, and we just want to share that excitement with you,” said Parker Plastics President Jim Parker.
Parker Plastics produces custom sizes and shapes of bottles by taking small, preform plastic bottles, warm-ing them up, and blowing them into a mold under high pressure. The company got its start in 1989 making honeybear-shaped bottles for a cus-tomer in Southern California.
“They’re entrusting the well-being of their employees to our commu-nity,” said Councilman Isaac Barron, whose ward encompasses the plant. “There’s no bigger endorsement than
to entrust your business to the com-munity.”
At the opening, Mayor John Lee made a pitch to all the businesspeo-ple in the room: Come do business in North Las Vegas.
“The Strip and Fremont Street are the boutiques of the valley,” Lee said. “North Las Vegas is the breadbasket.”
The plant employs about 15 people, but the company hopes to increase the number to 60 to 70 over the next three years, said Matt O’Neill, new projects manager for the company. At peak operation, the plant has the capacity to produce about 80,000
bottles in an eight-hour shift, plant manager John Garland said.
The hope is that Parker Plastics will help fill the supply chain for other manufacturers in the area and keep as much business as possible within the city, said Terri Sheridan, economic development specialist for the city.
“Congratulations for one of the best decisions you’ve made in your life,” Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison said at the opening. “Vegas and Nevada will always be the gaming city and gaming state. But we know how important it is to diversify our economy.”

Nearly six years have passed since soft-ware behemoth Oracle sued Las Vegas tech company Rimini Street for copyright in-fringement in a Nevada federal court. With attorneys offering closing arguments recent-ly, the trial could be nearing an end.
The long-term health of Rimini Street hinges on an outcome that chief information officers across the technology industry will be watching closely.
Previously, Judge Larry Hicks found that the Vegas tech firm violated Oracle’s copy-rights in providing maintenance to com-panies running the software of the tech gi-ant founded by Larry Ellison. A jury is now tasked with determining damages. Oracle seeks $245.9 million; Rimini believes that number should be no more than $9.3 mil-lion. The jury also must decide whether the Las Vegas firm is liable for violating the copy-right of two additional Oracle products and assessing resultant damages.
Oracle makes a majority of its sales from annual payments on maintenance and up-grades. Rimini Street is one of few third-party companies that provides maintenance on Oracle products — at a steep comparative discount.
“This case is going to establish the ground rules upon which a third party can operate within legal restraints,” said Frank Scavo, who runs a California-based consulting firm that helps companies evaluate software vendors.
Oracle argued that the lawsuit would not be an assault on third-party maintenance providers as a whole but limited only to Ri-mini Street, which has 1,080 clients and re-cently expanded its Las Vegas office.

A Las Vegas mobile application startup that creates tools to prevent people from texting while driving placed first in a busi-ness-pitch competition this month.
The contest was modeled after the hit ABC show “Shark Tank.”
After judges grilled six local entrepre-neurs at Cox Communications’ second an-nual Get Started Las Vegas contest at the Palms, they awarded $15,000 in prize money to Text Safe Teens. The company also will be featured in a story on the website of Inc. magazine, a sponsor of the event. VEGAS INC also was a sponsor.
Text Safe Teens, which won a local startup competition in July, is next turning its at-tention to obtaining outside investment and seeking to establish relationships with or-ganizations that it sees as natural partners: schools, insurance companies and compa-nies that manage drivers.
“It makes me feel great that we’re going to be able to help more people with this,” said Leon Wilde, the company’s CEO,\.
The finalists, selected from about 60 entrants, had about two minutes to make their pitches to five panelists. The judges included a senior edi-tor from Inc., a partner at VegasTechFund, an executive from Cox, and last year’s contest win-ner, a Las Vegas-based entrepreneur.
The panel also included Daymond John, a host from “Shark Tank” and the CEO of ap-parel company FUBU.
The panel selected Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, which hosts food tours on the Strip and downtown, as runner-up. Judges graded the firms on originality, pitch and potential benefit to the community.

Regulators have approved an agreement that ensures data storage company Switch remains an NV Energy customer.
The Nevada Public Utilities Commission approved the deal this month, ending an at-tempt by Switch to leave the utility and pur-chase energy on the open market.
The agreement will allow Switch to tap into energy from a planned 100-megawatt solar array in North Las Vegas and, in some cases, sources already generated by Nevada Power, a subsidiary of NV Energy.
First Solar will partner with NV Energy to build the solar array, expected to provide power for Switch by 2016. The facility will be called Switch Station.
In June, commissioners denied Switch’s petition to leave NV Energy over concerns the departure would result in rate hikes for other utility customers.
Switch wanted to leave the utility so it could move to 100 percent renewable energy and bring down costs. The agreement satis-fies concerns of both parties and the PUC.
A 2001 law — passed when NV Energy did not control a large amount of its energy generation and wanted to encourage private companies to purchase from independent sources or generate their own electricity — allows large companies to move off the elec-trical grid if they meet certain conditions, pay an exit fee and obtain PUC approval.
But this poses a problem for the utility, which now produces the majority of its own electricity and relies on revenue from large consumers. Three major casino companies also filed exit applications, which are pend-ing before the PUC.

G2E highlights transition to skill-based products
Sam Nazarian’s SBE Entertainment will no longer manage SLS
By j.d. morrisStaff Writer
Skill and interactivity were the key words on the showroom floor of this year’s Global Gaming Expo.
The annual casino industry confer-ence, also known as G2E, wrapped up after several days showcasing some of the most cutting-edge products from gambling companies. Set against the backdrop of Nevada’s recent moves to regulate the development of skill-based slot machines, the conference’s showroom provided a window into how companies have reacted to the new environment.
What was shown off at G2E repre-sents only the beginning of how game companies will make products that give casino floors a more arcade-like feel. After all, the regulations were finalized only last month, and more work — namely, the approval of tech-nical standards — remains.
Nonetheless, it was no coincidence that some of the most interesting products in the G2E showroom con-tained an element of skill — or at least a level of player interaction beyond what traditional slot machines have offered.
To illustrate, here’s a brief look at how several companies explored those characteristics at G2E.
Scientific GameSThe Space Invaders slot machine
from one of the industry’s most domi-nant companies goes beyond a simple theme based on the classic arcade game. In essence, it’s part traditional slot machine, part skill-based throw-back: Customers spin virtual reels un-til they get to a bonus round, in which they’re given the option of trying their luck or testing their skill.
Choosing luck brings the player to a traditional round of free spins; skill requires him or her to basically
play a short video game. Players earn points by shooting down rows of en-emy aliens while trying to avoid their incoming missiles. Company spokes-man Mike Trask noted that the game was reminiscent of the Total Blast slot developed by Bally Technologies, which Scientific Games acquired last year.
Scientific Games also displayed a slot game based on the television show “The Simpsons.” It is not exactly a skill-based game, but it does contain an element in which players can stick their hand in front of a motion sensor to move a virtual hand on the screen. Doing so allows them to engage with a bonus round by catching sprinkles as they fall, for example.
international Game technoloGy
IGT exhibited a version of its Tex-as Tea game, which plays like a tra-ditional slot machine until players reach the bonus round, at which point
it becomes a virtual pinball game. The company’s TMZ slot machine
incorporates a photo booth feature that allows players to take a selfie and integrate that into the game, includ-ing into a bonus round. And its Or-ange is the New Black slot, based on the Netflix show of the same name, was rolled out simultaneously on IGT’s DoubleDown social casino.
Gamblit GaminGThe company has been a prominent
voice in discussions about Nevada’s embrace of skill in slot machines, but its products are not yet available on casino floors in the state. They’re coming, company executives say, and in the meantime Gamblit offered a preview of what may eventually be in store for Nevada players.
One game, Smoothie Blast, requires players to match different kinds of fruits — similar to Candy Crush — which then go into a blender. A wager runs when the blender is full, and pay-
outs vary depending on the blender’s contents. Gamblit showed that game in a station meant for single players.
Gamblit also showed games that were featured on interactive tables meant for multiple players. One of those games was Grab Poker, in which players try to build a winning hand by competing to choose cards as they rapidly appear on the table. It’s meant for up to four players, and the winner takes the pot.
next GaminG/G2These two companies partnered
to display games that look more like they would be found in a living room than on a casino floor. One of their products, which combines skill and chance, is similar to the classic Gui-tar Hero game: Players attempt to hit notes as they move past on a screen to successfully play a song.
Hitting notes translates into an op-portunity to win cash, and the players also earn skill points that could be used to create rankings on a leader-board. A casino might theoretically use that leaderboard to reward play-ers with entry into a tournament, said Mike Darley, CEO of Next Gaming.
Another game the companies showed, in first-person-shooter style, involved a similar blending of skill and chance to award payouts.
interblockSlot machine-style games were not
the only places where companies at G2E were focusing on interactivity. Interblock displayed an arena for elec-tronic table games in which numer-ous tables could be situated around a few live dealers and large electronic screens. At their station, gamblers can play with one of the live dealers or choose an automated version of a table game. The setup also featured a DJ and a virtual emcee on the screen.

Sam Nazarian, the businessman who led the creation of SLS Las Vegas, is sell-ing his ownership stake in the finan-cially struggling resort and his company will no longer manage the property.
San Francisco-based real estate in-vestment firm Stockbridge Capital Partners, which owns 90 percent of the resort, is buying the 10 percent that
Nazarian and his family own.Nazarian’s company, SBE Enter-
tainment Group, will transition from a management agreement to a licensing agreement with the hotel. That will al-low the SLS branding and operations to continue unchanged, but SBE will not be involved with running the resort.
Terry Fancher, executive managing director of Stockbridge, said the change “benefits all parties involved,” includ-
ing guests, employees and the compa-nies behind the resort.
Nazarian was once the public face of SLS Las Vegas, but he stepped back from day-to-day operations amid dra-matic appearances before Nevada gam-ing regulators at the end of last year. Since then, he has apparently shifted his focus to larger projects for his com-pany, including a possible merger with Morgans Hotel Group Co.
Since its opening in August 2014, SLS has fought to overcome its out-of-the-way location on the far end of the north Strip, among other challenges. The resort has made numerous high-profile changes — such as hiring a new president, closing its buffet and re-vamping its loyalty club — while facing strong financial turbulence.
The resort’s net loss for the first half of 2015 was about $84 million.

internships, from page 1
Recession left companies starving for workerslearned in nursing classes at UNLV and during her internship.
She tried to wrap the man in a warm blanket as he wished out loud to be with his dead wife, free from pain.
“Maybe if we find the source of your pain, we can help you,” Arizabal told him.
A few weeks later, Arizabal, 22, was hired full time at MountainView.
Nowadays, it’s common for interns to be hired at the end of an internship. About 71 percent of employers aim to transition interns into full-time em-ployees, and 63 percent of companies hope to hire interns for entry level po-sitions, a 2015 study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers found.
That’s because the recession left many companies starving for work-ers after layoffs. Employers also scaled back on hiring and accepting interns during the downturn.
With improvement in the economy came the need for employers to start staffing again.
“It’s a much better time for students to get internships,” said Rebecca Met-ty-Burns, director of the Career and Professional Development Office at UNLV’s Lee Business School. “More and more companies are able to com-mit the time to interns. They’re inter-ested in creating a potential pool for open positions that they have.”
Since Cosmopolitan Las Vegas opened in 2010, for example, the resort has hired about 25 percent of its interns. A number of attorneys at Fennemore Craig also once were interns, director Karl Nielson said.
“We have good relationships with lo-cal high schools and UNLV,” said Daniel Espino, the Cosmopolitan’s senior vice president of people. “We also attend events at other colleges throughout the country.”
Before Fennemore Craig begins its two-month interview process with po-tential interns, recruiters travel to uni-versities to meet candidates.
Hiring interns “is an important pro-cess for the firm,” Nielson said. “We’re basically hiring for the future of our firm.”
At the Lee Business School, employ-ers often contact the development of-fice with descriptions of internships. Metty-Burns and her colleagues make students aware of the opportunities, then company officials interview the students who have the qualifications
needed. Once employers and students make
contact, it’s a matter of both sides mak-ing a good first impression.
“We hire interns who can identify
areas where we can improve,” Espino said.
At MountainView, where Arizabal interned, the ability to work with pa-tients is paramount.
“We want to make sure they come in and are not only committed to the suc-cess of their function but understand the weight of our responsibility to pa-tients,” said Brian Wood, the hospital’s vice president of human resources.
But the onus of sparking interest isn’t just on students. When Maria Ramos, a UNLV doctoral student in mechani-cal engineering, attends career fairs at the university, she looks for businesses with detailed descriptions of opportu-nities for interns.
“If they don’t (have that), I move on,” said Ramos, 24.
The benefits of an internship can be mutual for employers and employees. About 84 percent of employers said hir-ing interns was a positive experience, while 87 percent of students said their internship experience was positive, In-ternships.com found.
“Businesses get to sample the prod-uct of the university,” UNLV business professor Stephen Miller said. “Intern-ships are another way of getting looks at people.”
For many interns, time at a company offers a glimpse of what to expect after graduation.
“I think it’s very different from just learning theories in the class,” said Sta-cy Acquista, a former intern at North Florida Regional Medical Center who now works for HCA Far West Division, the parent company of Sunrise Health. “It was great to take the skills I learned in school and apply them in a real-world environment.”
Though Arizabal was unable to learn what had appened to the patient she treated during her internship, she said that moment with him was invaluable.
“You run into patients who are very emotional,” she said. “You just have to mentally prepare yourself for things like that. You don’t learn that in school.”
Perhaps most important for busi-nesses, interns often become quasi marketers for companies and firms.
“The students are terrific brand am-bassadors,” Metty-Burns said. “They come back and tell others about their experience. It helps businesses not only get potential employees but also have this pipeline of marketing.”
Wood said a number of internship candidates have contacted Mountain-View after hearing from previous in-terns.
“They’re able to vouch for us,” Wood said. “It’s probably the most important marketing tool that we have.”

Unpaid vs. paid internshipsThe average hourly wage this
year for an intern with a bach-elor’s degree is $17.20, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
But students don’t always get paid during internships.
The U.S. Department of Labor lists six criteria that must be met for an internship to qualify as un-paid; essentially, the intern must benefit more than the company:
n The internship is similar to training that would be given in an educational environment.
n The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.
n The intern does not displace
regular employees but works un-der close supervision of existing staffers.
n The employer that provides the training derives no advantage from the activities of the intern, and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.
n The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship.
n The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
VEGAS INC asked several local interns about being paid for their work.
Maria ramos, 24, former intern at iMi precision engineering n Paid $15 an hour
“I think people now look for paid internships because people our
age have bills to pay. I don’t think I could take that luxury of working
and not being paid.”
Briana Martinez, 22, former intern at sen. harry reid’s Las vegas office n Unpaid
“It was eight hours a week... . The experience I got was worth more than money. It was worth my time.”
alora Gillogly, 21, intern at the World affairs Council n Paid $10 an hour
“When I first found out about this opportunity, I didn’t care about getting paid. I think the experience and what you get out of the expe-rience would be the same either way. But I think it depends highly on what your life circumstances are.”
