Jim,

Great location, great idea!

Let me know if you need a Red Ranch hand!

That's awesome! Do you have any conceptual plats or artist's renderings you could share with us? We are, as you know, visual people.
 
"RED Ranch"!??! In Las Vegas...

You really need to drop the word "ranch" Jim...

RED Light District, Las Vegas, RANCH... You get my point.
Go north to San Francisco and you can be Lucas' neighbor then having Skywalker Ranch and RED Ranch will make a little more sense.

RED Campus

REDStudios

Something but not ranch please.

:)

Can you explain the logic of leaving the town that is geared around the film, errr... cinema industry?

Also, if you move to Vegas how will this impact your productivity? It can't help but drop just a little with all the distractions around.

Are you guys tied to organized crime? Maybe that's the reason...

I'd imagine real estate in las Vegas is a hell of a lot cheaper than where they are now

Well, with property values down 20-30% in the area, I'd say it's probably not a bad time to buy in Vegas.
 
Pretty tough crowd, some of your customers.
I thought I had a hard time pleasing people.
I look forward to visiting your new digs someday.
 
That's all just an excuse for saving on NAB expenses... :-)

Congrats, guys.
 
Since none of us know where manufacturing is actually happening, my comment might not be totally applicable, but the less humidity a location has, the easier it is to have an electronic manufacturing facility there. As shutter said, we would have loved to have you here in UT, but I can understand Vegas too. Pretty sweet you'll be 3-4 hours closer (by car).

Congratulations on your continued success! I can't wait to see Leo's tree at the new facility.

One more reason to attend NAB.

There better be one hell of a Red family reunion at the ranch.
An annual Red Rocks Vegas.

Hah, now the party will switch over to the RED ranch. Who the hell
needs NAB anymore? I also imagine many companies are pulling
up stakes and leaving California.

Businesses leaving California... Duh!
Who's shocked that businesses restricted job growth in one of the most taxed and most regulated states in the union?
These trends will be exacerbated in San Francisco which is even more hostile to industry, and if the country chooses
protectionism against free trade and outsourcing, businesses will leave the country.
From the SF Chronicle: Jobs moving out of state / Cost, complex regulations cited by firms.
Excerpts:

Discouraged by high costs and strict regulations, just under 60 percent of California business leaders interviewed
for a new study said they have policies to restrict job growth in the state or move jobs to other locations in the United States....
The consulting firm [Bain] interviewed chief executives or senior managers of about 50 small, medium and large companies
with extensive operations in the state.

About 40 percent said their companies have an explicit policy to move jobs elsewhere in the United States,
with Texas cited as the most frequent destination. Not counting those companies that must stay in California,
such as retailers or health care providers, the proportion of businesses that said their policy is to move jobs rose to 55 percent.

Another group of executives, just under 20 percent of those interviewed, said their policy is to avoid adding jobs in California,
except when absolutely necessary.

Businesses are clamping down on California job growth because of high costs and a burdensome regulatory environment, Bain concluded.

The cost of doing business in California is about 30 percent higher than in the average Western state, largely because of higher wages and benefits,
according to the study.

Bain also attempted to measure the cost, uncertainty and complexity of California's environmental, labor and other regulations.
It constructed what it called a regulatory hassle index that took into account such factors as compliance costs,
the threat of lawsuits and delays in obtaining permits that hamper operations.

The index showed that "California is far worse than any other state in the union, by a very significant margin,"
said Jeff Melton, a partner in Bain's San Francisco office.
