IF NOT A CASINO EXECUTIVE, SHE’D LIKE TO OWN A WINERY

How do you decompress after a long week?

I like to spend time with my husband. Walking is my escape, and I try to walk at least 40 minutes straight every day.

If you could change one thing about Southern Nevada, what would it be?

I would change all the careless drivers on our roads, because they put us all at risk.

What is your dream job, outside of your current field?

I would love to own a winery. I love to drink wine, and we go to Paso Robles in California a lot. We belong to a couple of the wineries there, and have met many of those owners. We love that atmosphere. It includes two things that I love — wine and meeting new people.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself either on a beach or traveling. We go on cruises a lot, and I’d love to go on a world cruise to be able to spend time wherever I feel like. I look forward to meeting people from all over the world and experiencing different cultures. I just love the freedom of not worrying about everything. It’s all positive when you’re out there on the water.

If you could live anywhere else in the world, where would it be?

I’d love to live in Barcelona. We’ve been there a number of times and it has become one of my favorite places. It really is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s right at the mouth of the Mediterranean, and it’s accessible from most anywhere. The food is wonderful, and the city is serene. We like to enjoy all the different foods. And of course the Sangria is amazing. I actually wanted to visit there initially because I had learned about Antoni Gaudi from Sunset Station. The Gaudi Bar there is named for him and reflects his style. I wanted to visit Barcelona and see more of his works in person. I arrived in the city and learned more of his story, and I realized how amazing his art is. His buildings are all over the city and I felt a connection to his art. There’s this park near his home that is breathtakingly beautiful. The paths reflect his unique designs, and I want to be there and relax and take it all in. When I retire, maybe I’d like to go there every six months.

What is something that people might not know about you?

I listen to spa music all the time in my car. I like peaceful, calm music, and it really relaxes me. I like Andrea Bocelli. I’m excited to see him in December. I’ll probably cry during the concert, I’m that excited.
