🌤 Summerlin South, Las Vegas Weather
🎥 Summerlin Production Studios Project Gains Momentum with Sony Pictures Partnership
The ambitious plan to construct a movie studio in Summerlin, Las Vegas, is making significant progress. Howard Hughes Holdings and Sony Pictures Entertainment have joined forces to develop the Summerlin Production Studios Project on a 31-acre site near South Town Center Drive and West Flamingo Road, adjacent to the RC Willey store. The proposal, which has been submitted to Clark County for review, envisions a sprawling 500,000-square-foot facility comprising 13 buildings and two open lots. This setup is designed to accommodate stage space, offices, a commissary, flex space, and areas for prop and equipment manufacturing.
Set for consideration by the Clark County Zoning Commission on March 20, the project promises to be a boom for Nevada's economy. The venture aims to diversify the state's economic base, boost job creation, and establish educational and training opportunities in the film industry. Despite the project's scale being slightly reduced from initial discussions, Howard Hughes and Sony Pictures are committed to pursuing approvals as part of a broader strategy to stimulate private investment and generate employment.
The proposal comes in the wake of a failed attempt to expand Nevada's film tax credit program in 2023, with future plans for the project potentially hinging on legislative support for enhanced tax incentives. The Nevada Film Office underscores the need for more studio space and competitive tax credits to realize the vision of transforming Las Vegas into a new hub for film production, dubbed "Hollywood 2.0."
✈ Flight Delays Soar at Harry Reid International Amid Windy Forecast
Flight delays at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas have surged dramatically, with a reported 378 flights delayed by Friday afternoon. The spike in delays coincides with the onset of strong winds in the Las Vegas valley, heralding a weekend forecasted to be significantly windy. Despite the substantial increase in delays, no flight cancellations have been reported thus far.
The National Weather Service has issued a high wind advisory for Las Vegas and most of Southern Nevada, effective from Friday afternoon to early Saturday morning, which will escalate to a wind warning throughout the weekend. Wind gusts could reach up to 65 mph on Saturday, with sustained winds of 40 to 50 mph expected.
These adverse weather conditions are anticipated to cause not only further flight delays but also environmental impacts such as blowing dust, downed trees, and potential power outages across the region.
⚾ UNLV Baseball Sets Record with Explosive First Inning in Victory over San Jose State
The UNLV baseball team made history by scoring 16 runs in the first inning, setting a school record during their 23-5 win against San Jose State at Wilson Stadium. This remarkable start was highlighted by Paul Myro, Bailey Seeger, and Chase Ditmar hitting consecutive home runs, contributing to the team's impressive performance in their Mountain West baseball opener.
Bailey Seeger and Ditmar also added a two-run double and an RBI single, respectively, in the same inning, contributing to the total of 11 hits and four walks that propelled UNLV (8-1, 1-0) to its eighth consecutive victory. Austin Cates, the Rebels' starting pitcher, dominated the Spartans (3-6, 0-1), allowing no runs on five hits and achieving 11 strikeouts over five innings.
This game broke the previous UNLV record of 14 runs in a single inning, set during an 18-0 victory against U.S. International on May 2, 1981. The Rebels have twice before scored 13 runs in an inning, marking this occasion as a standout achievement in the team's history.
