About me:
In April 2007, Mayor Oscar B. Goodman, the 19th mayor of Las Vegas, captured 84 percent of the vote in his re-election effort to a third 4-year term.
As mayor, I was successful in acquiring a large piece of urban real estate in the city without resorting to eminent domain. Union Park, a phenomenal 61-acre planned development, will include the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, a 350,000 square-foot Smith Center for the Performing Arts, multiple high residential units, business and retail opportunities. Downtown is undergoing a dramatic change, evolving into a vibrant place for living, working and enjoying entertainment and art venues. Bounding Union Park are the World Market Center and the Las Vegas Premium Outlets mall. The World Market Center is a state-of-the-art home furnishings trade show facility. When complete, the complex will exceed 12 million square feet with eight buildings. The outlet mall is the most successful of its kind for dollar-per-square-foot income. In addition, there are almost 18,000 living spaces being planned for construction in downtown. Also, for the first time in many years, multi-million dollar casino and hotel renovations and expansions are currently underway.
I have been a champion of downtown revitalization, focusing his efforts on creating a downtown urban village filled with small businesses, boutiques, fine restaurants, bookstores and an art component where the public can have social dialogue and exchange ideas.
I serves as the chairman of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and feverishly works to promote the enticing destination of Las Vegas. I has also started OPAC, Oscar’s Political Action Committee, to promote and protect the interests of Las Vegas. My first action was to donate $50,000 to the Keep Memory Alive Foundation, the “think tank” foundation for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute.
The self-proclaimed “happiest mayor in the universe,” Goodman was born and raised in Philadelphia, graduating from Haverford College and receiving his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has become one of the nation’s premier criminal defense attorneys, having been named one of the “15 Best Trial Lawyers in America” by the National Law Journal. I have also been featured in numerous publications such as “Of Rats and Men” and even portrayed in the movie “Casino.” I also serves on the Advisory Board of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
My wife of 45 years and I, Carolyn, moved to Las Vegas in 1964 with $87 in our pockets. We raised four children in Las Vegas. All four currently make Las Vegas their home. All were educated in Las Vegas and went on to acquire college and graduate level degrees.
