Former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh passed away due to complications, caused by a house fire he was recently in.  Tony has done a lot to revitalize Downtown Las Vegas.  He called Downtown Las Vegas his home and made Zappos headquarters there!  A petition was recently made to name a Vegas Street after Tony, to honor him.  We talked with Mayor Carolyn Goodman about this and got her thoughts.
