June 13, 2025Episode 0120: More Than Fun
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo

June 06, 2025Episode 0119: Keeping It Fun
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The Regular 2025 Nevada Legislative Session ended on Monday this week, without either of the proposed and so-called Film Tax Credit bills making it, which means Hollywood 2.0 might not happen just yet.

May 30, 2025Episode 0118: Better Vegas Incentives
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Another stop on the path toward the end of this Nevada legislative session, which includes two pieces of the Hollywood 2.0 puzzle. Will they fit, and should they? Good questions both, and what else might be on the horizon?

Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: Somewhere between serendipitous collisions and all-day gatherings with free food is a thing that worked well here in the Downtown Vegas area back in the Downtown Project days, bringing together an ad hoc group of entrepreneurial types now and then to break bread and talk about what was up, what was down, and maybe a little bit of gossip.

May 02, 2025Episode 0114: Critical Mass
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: While this topic can apply anywhere to a variety of scenarios, the low hanging fruit in the Greater Vegas region, famously connected to development of nuclear stuff a few decades ago at The Nevada Test Site, where critical mass was a very important thing to be aware of.
