It was a Killer
Season for Clark County. . .
Just follow the
evidence through "CSI: Crime Scene
Investigation" the CBS television show. The season
finale filmed here and was directed by the famous
Quentin Terrentino--Clark County provided the perfect
backdrop for the whodunit episode. One of the most
popular television shows, "American Idol",
continues to make Clark County one of their premiere
locations. The latest sure-to-be blockbuster "Rocky
Balboa" wrapped filming at the Mandalay Bay in
December 2005. This year film projects were plentiful
from television commercials, music videos, feature films
and independent projects.
The Nevada Film Office (NFO)
announced that filming revenues for calendar year 2005
reached approximately $102.5 million, which continues a
six-year trend for Nevada of exceeding the $100 million
mark. Of this total, Unincorporated Clark County
manages, issues and processes more than 50% of all film
projects for the entire state.
