The next major film studios could be in Nevada if some unions have their way
Nevada unions seek $95 million in tax credits to lure Sony and Warner Bros., aiming to create 19,000 construction jobs and boost tourism amid declining visitors, officials said.
- Nevada labor unions are pushing to revive a proposal for up to $95 million in tax credits during next month’s special session, supporting film industry growth in the Vegas suburbs.
- Nevada labor unions say the plan targets job and tourism growth by bringing more Hollywood filmmaking to Nevada amid an 11.3% visitor decline in Las Vegas between June 2024 and June 2025.
- The plan calls for a complex with 10 movie stages, hotels, a medical center in West Las Vegas, requiring $400 million for studios and $1.8 billion for mixed-use development.
- Opponents called the plan `fiscally irresponsible and politically indefensible`, citing a May 2025 state-commissioned report that it would generate $0.52 per $1 credit, diverting funds from mental health and education.
- Trade unions formed Nevada Jobs Now and raised over $1 million for ads, while supporters say the project could create 19,000 construction jobs and attract tourists.
