Nevada Business in Tourism

Film crews boost state revenue
Nevada's tourist volume slumped in 2008, but a select group of visitors kept on coming -- and they even spent more money here than they dropped statewide before the recession began. Producers and directors of film and television projects spent $110 million shooting and finishing shows in the Silver State in 2008. The results surpassed the $103.3 million the Nevada Film Office counted in 2007, when a writers' strike in November and December brought production nationwide to a halt. The writers' walkout ended in February 2008.
