Las Vegas Startups Watch a 175-Acre Data Center Filing | Startup Trends

Las Vegas startups just got a 175-acre reminder of who else is bidding for this valley's power.Switch has filed plans with North Las Vegas for Core 2.0: phase one is 175.8 acres across 14 parcels in the Apex Industrial Park, 486,250 square feet, two data centers, plus its own substation and switching station. Filed in August; the city still has not scheduled it for Planning Commission or City Council — so the land-and-power fight every Southern Nevada founder builds inside gets argued in public on a date nobody set.The number nobody had put on Zero Labs: nine cohorts, 145 companies, 200-plus founders through a free, no-equity, three-day Las Vegas startup accelerator with UNLV Economic Development and GOED. Not a program — startup ecosystem infrastructure.What Las Vegas startups can act on now:Zero Labs 2027 Innovation Launchpad — applications open. Ten-minute application, free, no equity, keep your IP.
