Nevada Lt. Gov. Stavros Anthony has an unusual plan to rev up the Silver State’s entertainment business: space tourism. With Elon Musk having significant business interests in the state, Anthony believes Musk could be the man to make it happen.

Space Tourism in Nevada

Anthony’s background has been anything but boring. He had a nearly three-decade career in law enforcement, was a regent in the state’s higher education system, and served as a longtime Las Vegas city councilman. He ran a spirited campaign for mayor of Las Vegas and, since 2022, has served alongside Gov. Joe Lombardo, leading the Silver State.

Anthony sat down with Fox News Digital at FreedomFest in Las Vegas to discuss his career, the Nevada economy, and electoral prospects in 2026. He promotes the state as a mecca for the entertainment business, touting a light regulatory touch and a thriving climate for entrepreneurship. He’s particularly bullish on professional sports and the nascent space tourism industry.

Anthony credits his lengthy career with the Las Vegas Metro Police for giving him the problem-solving foundation to launch a successful political career. He believes that his immigrant parents from Cyprus instilled the values of hard work, self-reliance, and fiscal responsibility, which have shaped his political philosophy.
