More than 93,000 Nevada Democrats and nearly 58,000 Republicans participated in early voting for the presidential preference primary — numbers that are close to past caucus participation but are lower than previous primaries.

An 11th-hour effort last year in Carson City to greatly expand state tax breaks for the movie business died without a vote, but proponents of the handouts haven’t given up. At a UNLV forum last week, local film industry experts touted the proposal — for up to $5 billion in credits — as a viable economic development tool.

Chastened by a series of economic downturns that punished the hospitality industry, state leaders are working to broaden the economy.

When it comes to spectacle and celebration, few events can top the Super Bowl, and few cities can match Las Vegas. Yet over the big game’s 58-year history, the gambling mecca remained sidelined as host. Until now.

Former President Donald Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are each participating in Nevada’s two different Republican nominating contests. However, they will not be competing against one another.

About three years ago, as the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority made a bid to host the city’s first Super Bowl—now just days away—it commissioned local analytics firm Applied Analysis to create an economic impact statement on the event.

In the days leading up to kickoff, users of Fliff, a popular mobile gaming app, placed more than 200,000 “bets” on last month’s NFL conference championship games. They bet on Patrick Mahomes throwing for at least 240 yards, on Christian McCaffrey scoring the first touchdown and on the usual array of money line, point spread and over-under offerings. They did it, in many cases, without verifying their age or even spending a dollar.

Nevada Republicans will caucus to decide how to apportion their delegates for president. But their caucus comes two days after a primary. And that’s only the start of the confusion.
