💪 Mark Wahlberg Brings New Fitness Venture to Las Vegas
Mark Wahlberg has unveiled his latest project in Las Vegas: a high-end fitness facility set to redefine the gym experience. The acclaimed actor and entrepreneur announced early Friday on Instagram that he signed a lease for Municipal Gym Fitness and Recovery, powered by EōS Fitness, in Downtown Summerlin.
“This will be the first time in history that luxury and serious fitness meet,” Wahlberg said in the video post, hinting at a groundbreaking approach to fitness and recovery.
A Multifaceted Gym Experience
The gym, named after Wahlberg’s sportswear company Municipal, promises more than just a place to work out. It will combine cutting-edge fitness and recovery options with a suite of luxury amenities, including:
Juice bars and cafés offering health-focused refreshments
Retail and apparel featuring the latest Municipal gear
Vitamins and supplements to support a holistic wellness approach
The focus on blending luxury with fitness aims to set Municipal Gym apart from traditional gyms, creating a destination for both dedicated fitness enthusiasts and those seeking an upscale lifestyle experience.
Wahlberg’s Growing Vegas Footprint
This latest venture is one of several Wahlberg has embarked on since moving to Las Vegas in 2022. His presence in the city is rapidly expanding:
Flecha Cantina: A vibrant restaurant opened in Town Square, blending modern dining with casual sophistication.
Sony Entertainment Film Studio Proposal: Wahlberg is a key advocate for the proposed film studio in Summerlin, aiming to transform Las Vegas into a hub for entertainment production.
Wahlberg’s move to Las Vegas reflects his enthusiasm for the city’s dynamic growth and business-friendly environment. His investments align with his vision of turning the region into a premier destination for entertainment, lifestyle, and wellness.
Community Impact
Wahlberg’s Municipal Gym has the potential to not only elevate the local fitness scene but also contribute to the continued development of Downtown Summerlin as a thriving community hub. By combining luxury amenities with a focus on health and recovery, the gym is poised to attract a diverse clientele, from serious athletes to health-conscious locals.
Wahlberg has yet to announce an official opening date, but anticipation is already building as fans and fitness enthusiasts look forward to experiencing this innovative facility.
🏈 Barry Odom Leads UNLV Football to Historic Success, Eyes Mountain West Championship
Barry Odom, head coach of the UNLV Rebels, delivered an emotional message Saturday night, reflecting on resilience and perseverance. Five years after being fired from his head coaching job at the University of Missouri, Odom has transformed UNLV’s football program into a national contender.
The Rebels, now 10-2, secured their spot in the Mountain West Championship by defeating UNR 38-14 at Allegiant Stadium, keeping the Fremont Cannon red for another year. Their next challenge? A rematch against Boise State in Boise on Friday, with immense stakes: a chance to secure a berth in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff.
A Historic Turnaround
UNLV’s turnaround under Odom has been nothing short of remarkable. The program, historically associated with losing seasons, has achieved its first 10-win campaign in 40 years. Ranked No. 19 nationally, the Rebels are on the cusp of joining college football’s elite in pursuit of a national championship.
“When (athletic director Erick Harper) and I started talking about this job, we talked about the opportunities that were here,” Odom said. “It started with hope, vision, and belief. Then you win some early games, and some of the things you talked about become validated.”
While Odom credits the players, coaching staff, and administration for the success, his leadership has been pivotal. From hiring a strong coaching staff to instilling a winning mindset, Odom has set a new standard for UNLV football.
Lessons in Leadership
Odom’s approach has resonated deeply with his players. Senior linebacker Jackson Woodard, who followed Odom to UNLV from Arkansas, emphasized the coach’s impact.
“Believing in (Odom) made me believe in myself,” Woodard said. “I knew he was going to be a winner. Coming here, I didn’t even think about losing. I knew we were going to win.”
Odom’s philosophy of focusing on the present—going “1-0” in every practice, play, or game—has become the team’s mantra. This mindset will be critical as the Rebels prepare to face No. 10 Boise State, a team that edged them 29-24 earlier this season.
Everything on the Line
The stakes couldn’t be higher for UNLV. A win in Boise would not only secure the Mountain West Championship but also propel the Rebels into the national spotlight with a spot in the College Football Playoff.
The journey from a struggling program to potential national contender in just two seasons highlights the cultural shift Odom has brought to UNLV.
“For now, it’s all about No. 10 Boise State,” Odom said. “For all those lessons to take hold and play out on the road against a more-than-formidable opponent.”
The Road Ahead
While Odom’s success has drawn interest from other programs, his focus remains on the task at hand: defeating Boise State and continuing to rewrite UNLV’s football narrative.
As the Rebels prepare for Friday’s championship game, one thing is clear: Odom has given UNLV football a new identity, one built on hope, vision, and belief.

🧑⚖️ Proposed Tariffs by President-elect Trump Could Trigger Price Hikes Across Key Sectors
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to impose sweeping tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China, potentially leading to sharp price increases on a wide range of consumer goods. Trump’s proposals include a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada and a 10% tariff on goods from China, which he framed as measures to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
While Trump argues the tariffs will make trade partners “pay a very big price,” experts warn that American consumers could bear the brunt of the cost increases as companies pass these expenses along to customers.
Economic Impact and Consumer Costs
Economist Chris Thornberg of Beacon Economics described the tariffs as a “bully effort” but acknowledged their potential economic disruption. “It’s still a giant remains-to-be-seen whether these tariffs will be implemented,” Thornberg noted, “but if they are, consumer goods across the board could be dramatically affected.”
Here’s how different sectors may feel the impact:
1. Automobiles and Car Parts
Mexico is a major exporter of vehicles and parts to the U.S., with 88% of its automotive exports destined for American consumers. Automakers like General Motors, Ford, and Toyota have significant manufacturing operations in Mexico, and many have already warned of price increases.
AutoZone CEO Phil Daniele recently stated, “If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer.”
2. Toys
China accounts for 77% of U.S. toy imports, including dolls, games, and bicycles. According to a National Retail Federation study, proposed tariffs could increase toy prices by 36% to 56%. With U.S. producers accounting for less than 1% of the market, families may face higher costs for holiday and birthday gifts.
3. Apparel
Clothing items like shirts, socks, and underwear could see price hikes of up to 20.6%. Low-income families are expected to be disproportionately affected, as they spend three times as much of their income on apparel compared to wealthier households.
The National Retail Federation estimates that the tariffs would result in a net economic loss of $16 billion to $18 billion, with consumers shouldering much of the burden.
4. Produce
Fruits and vegetables from Mexico and Canada, including avocados, cucumbers, and mushrooms, would likely become more expensive. Jerry Nickelsburg, director of UCLA Anderson Forecast, said grocery prices would rise as producers pass tariffs along to consumers, particularly for items with no viable domestic substitutes.
5. Electronics and Appliances
Electronics like televisions, laptops, and smartphones, often manufactured in China or Mexico, would be affected. The U.S. imported $76 billion worth of computers and other electronics from Mexico in 2023, while Chinese-made electronics represent a significant portion of total imports.
6. Footwear
The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America warned that additional tariffs on imported shoes could strain family budgets. “We urge the President to consider the profound impact these tariffs will have on working families and the broader economy,” said Matt Priest, the group’s president.
California’s Unique Vulnerability
California, heavily reliant on trade with Mexico and China, could experience outsized economic impacts. Increased costs on imported goods are expected to hit the state’s economy particularly hard, especially in sectors like agriculture and technology.
What’s Next?
While the full extent of Trump’s proposed tariffs remains uncertain, their potential implementation would create significant economic challenges. Families and businesses are likely to feel the pinch as prices rise, making it crucial to monitor these developments closely.
📈 Markets Brace for November Jobs Report Amid Tariff and Interest Rate Speculation
While political developments surrounding President-elect Donald Trump dominate headlines, the financial markets are turning their focus to a critical economic event: November’s jobs report, due this Friday. The data will shape expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, influencing stock valuations, bond yields, and investor sentiment as markets close out the year.
Fed Rate-Cut Outlook Hangs in the Balance
Investors are hoping for a "goldilocks" jobs report—not too strong, not too weak. A robust report could cast doubt on the Federal Reserve’s willingness to continue its rate-cutting cycle, a factor underpinning optimism for a prolonged stock market rally into 2025.
“If it’s incredibly positive, then that raises questions about whether the Fed will actually cut rates,” said Brent Schutte, Chief Investment Officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has already delivered a series of rate cuts, including a half-point reduction in September and a quarter-point cut earlier this month. Futures markets currently assign a 66% probability of another 25-basis-point cut at the next meeting, according to CME FedWatch Tool data. However, stronger-than-expected labor market data could shift those odds and stall the Fed's easing campaign.
The Market’s Fragile Optimism
Equity markets have rallied in anticipation of further rate cuts and economic resilience. Last week, the S&P 500 rose 1.1%, marking its 53rd record close of the year with a 26.5% gain in 2024. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed the 45,000 milestone, while the Nasdaq Composite added over 6% in November.
At the same time, Treasury yields have eased, with the 10-year yield retreating to 4.192% after peaking above 4.5% earlier this month. The decline has provided relief to equity markets, as higher yields generally weigh on stock valuations by increasing borrowing costs and discounting future cash flows.
Despite the upbeat performance, some analysts caution against overconfidence. “If there’s one thing Americans seem to agree on, it is that stocks are going up,” said Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research. “From a contrarian perspective, this suggests that a pullback is likely.”
The Trump Factor
Trump’s return to the White House has created expectations for stronger economic growth fueled by potential tax cuts and deregulation. At the same time, his proposed tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China raise concerns about inflationary pressures that could complicate the Fed's monetary policy decisions.
“Markets care about real political change, not so much politics,” said Lauren Goodwin, economist at New York Life Investments. The market’s reaction to Trump’s policies aligns with existing trends, including resilient consumer spending and hotter-than-expected inflation data.
Key Questions for the Week
Will the Jobs Report Meet Expectations? A strong labor market could undermine the Fed’s argument for further rate cuts, raising concerns about stretched stock valuations.
How Will the Fed Respond? With inflation still elevated, the Fed’s challenge lies in balancing economic resilience with the need to maintain price stability.
What’s Next for Bond Yields? Lower yields have supported equities, but any reversal could pressure high-growth sectors like technology.
Conclusion
As November’s jobs report looms, financial markets remain finely balanced between optimism and caution. The interplay between economic data, Federal Reserve policy, and Trump’s upcoming presidency will continue to drive market trends into the new year.
