Preservation Spotlight: Brian Paco Alvarez
Brian "Paco" Alvarez is one of those guys that everyone seems to know. Mention his name to a group of people, and the chances are pretty good that someone in the group knows Paco. Paco is a native son, born and raised. He has lived Downtown for many years and has been extolling the advantages of Downtown life and the history of Downtown for twice as long. He has worked at the the Liberace Foundation, the City of Las Vegas Office of Cultural Affairs, the Neon Museum, the Las Vegas News Bureau and now is working at Zappos .
He has curated various exhibits on the history of Las Vegas, can be found at gallery openings, museum galas and all around town where ever history and preservation are being discussed.
Despite his busy schedule, he carved out some time to talk about two of his favorite subjects- history and preservation in Las Vegas.
