Summary
Stavros Anthony said Nevada could turn its vast open land into a space-tourism hub, floating the idea of launches by “somebody like Elon Musk” as a new draw for the state’s entertainment economy.
Anthony framed the push as an extension of Nevada’s light-regulation, entrepreneur-friendly model, saying the private sector—not state government—should build the next big tourism business.
He pointed to Nevada’s rapid sports expansion over the past 10 years, saying the state went from having no major teams to becoming what he called the “sports capital of the world.”
Looking toward the 2026 race, Anthony tied the Lombardo-Anthony ticket to President Trump’s endorsement and said the no-tax-on-tips policy could resonate strongly in Nevada’s service-heavy economy.
