Who needs a studio? The Las Vegas film industry is having an eventful summer. Despite the stalled film bill during this year's legislative session, local movie creatives and figures are releasing summer titles and expanding the capabilities of their industry. Also: Alex Honnold...

Always a pleasure to join @mikeprevatt.bsky.social on @knpr.org's State of Nevada to chat about local film happenings. Check out the segment here or listen again tonight at 7.

Celebrated oboist retiring from UNLV after 38 years of teaching One academic area in which Las Vegas excels is music education, and a lot of the credit goes to teachers like Stephen Caplan.

Celebrated musician/professor Stephen Caplan is going out on a high note.

Remembering Las Vegas resort leader and philanthropist Elaine Wynn Elaine Wynn, who, with her ex-husband Steve Wynn, co-founded Mirage Resorts and Wynn Resorts, has died at age 82. She made as much of an impact in the Las Vegas community as she did on the Strip.

John L Smith and Heather Harmon on Elaine Wynn.

How artist and author James Stanford was influenced by an atomic Las Vegas The history of atomic weapon testing is a big part of Southern Nevadaโ€™s lore. It especially made an impression on one Las Vegan who grew up during the Atomic Age.

My chat with Las Vegas artist James Stanford.

New exhibit at lesser-known museum showcases work of important Nevada artist Locals have heard it said so many times: Las Vegas doesnโ€™t have an art museum. But that simply isnโ€™t true.

If you haven't already: It's time for you to check out the Rita Deanin Abbey Museum in Las Vegas.

How and what do you recycle in Southern Nevada? We'll tell you Between Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve, the EPA estimates that waste in the U.S. increases by more than 25%, or by about 1 million tons. Thatโ€™s 2 billion pounds of garbage.

Seriously, what the heck can you recycle in Southern Nevada? Depending on your waste, it's sometimes simple and sometimes ... a lot more difficult. knpr.org/show/knprs-...

Las Vegas plans expanded 'immersive' entertainment district near Area15 In September 2020, Area15 opened to enthusiastic crowds tired of pandemic quarantine. Four years and 13 million guests later, its growth has led to a full-blown entertainment district.

Two standout films this year put Las Vegas in the spotlight Oceanโ€™s 11. Mars Attacks. The Hangover. Las Vegas is no stranger to the big screen. Especially when it comes to spectacle movies, broad comedies, and camp films.

Absolutely loved hearing Mike and Josh discussing how "Anora," "The Last Showgirl," "Venom," and other films handle #LasVegas as a setting

Here's how Formula 1 disrupts the Las Vegas entertainment scene Though locals mostly avoid it, the Las Vegas Strip and businesses that support it employ hundreds of thousands of people and itโ€™s responsible for a big chunk of the stateโ€™s tax dollars.

I rarely promote my work. Maybe that should change here.

I produced a segment where @johnnykats.bsky.social talks about the big hit the entertainment industry is taking during race week.

Spiegelworld lost half a mil last year. And Adele is the *only* headliner with a show this weekend. Bonkers.
