Reach for the stars, Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Valley continues to grow in many sectors, including more conventions, retail space, technology companies, housing and professional sports.

So how come we don't have more motion picture facilities? Building more, including an animation facility, would create another niche economic market that would bring major employment opportunities for those who would like to or presently work in that field.

It would increase other short-term opportunities such as construction positions on those projects, plus bring more film and television series productions to Southern Nevada. We already have some but with more facilities available, the area would be more attractive to major studios across the country and around the world.

This could also possibly lead to a major acting school. Building more motion picture production facilities would be a major coup for the valley and have a domino effect. Hopefully, at some point, this will be accomplished.
