Transcript of interview with Arte Nathan by Claytee White, December 11, 2014

Date

2014-12-11

Description

Arte Nathan is trained in Human Resources. He evolved the thinking in the casino industry to allow management and labor to work for the best interests of both. Educated at Cornell University, he worked with Jim Wilhelm of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226 to develop an unusually profitable relationship that served the casino owner and the people who maintained the cleanliness of the property. “Look, before I got here it was Al Bramlet. I mean the strike of '84 is something that's indelibly etched in all of our minds. The strike in '86 in Atlantic City was much the same. But that type of contentious labor relations is not the future. And there are progressive companies all over the U.S. whether it's General Motors or Ford or Steve Wynn and Mirage Resorts. That's really the story. Are there disconnects along the way? Are there fights and arguments and egos? Of course, there are. But the overriding story of the Culinary Union in Las Vegas between 1980 and 2014 is that they forged a different relationship, a different model that was unique and successful and helped people to live and achieve their dreams. You don't often get that opportunity.” “I'm not the smartest guy in any room. Never have been and I never will be. But I'm willing to try. I'm willing to be open. I have an opinion and I'll fight with my opinion; you fight with yours because two heads are better than one.” He made room for the disabled, ex-felons, and drug addicts. Arte believes that no person is better than another.

Film transparency of Las Vegas Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada, 1961

Date

1961

Description

Boats are moored at the marina, as well as offshore. Some boats are on the beach, waiting to launch. A few small islands are visible in the background. Las Vegas Bay is a bay at the western edge of Lake Mead, to the northeast of the city of Henderson, Nevada, near the junction of Lake Mead Drive and Lake Mead Boulevard. A public campground and boat access are available in Las Vegas Bay. Low water levels of Lake Mead have rendered the marina there inoperable, and it relocated to the Hemenway Boat Harbor, in the south end of the Boulder Basin in 2002. The launch ramp there has also been closed due to the water levels. The Lake Mead Marina was relocated to the Hemenway Boat Harbor in 2008. The bay is the natural discharge point for the Las Vegas Wash. Las Vegas Wash is in the southeastern portion of the Las Vegas Valley and is approximately 12 miles long, from its headwaters northwest of Las Vegas to its mouth at Las Vegas Bay on the western portion of Lake Mead. The bridge across the Wash on Northshore Road is approximately 1.2 miles north of the intersection of Lakeshore and Northshore Roads.
