The Huntridge Project Is Going Full Steam Ahead! Goal For Money!

By the close of the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign on Wednesday evening, Huntridge Revival, LLC had exceeded their initial fundraising goal of $150,000 through eager supporters far and wide, including hometown notable names such as The Killers and Gold & Silver Pawn, home of the hit TV show Pawn Stars.

The group also received an outpouring of support from community partners that have collectively given the project an additional $500,000 in professional services and pre-construction efforts to further assist in the renovation. The PENTA Building Group, E320 Entertainment Group, Rich Wightman Company, Raster Media, Reynolds and Associates Law, Augustus West Furniture and Finishings, Desert Fire Protection, and Alios Entertainment and Architectural Lighting have all given letters of credit to Huntridge Revival, LLC for initial work and set up of interior and exterior lighting, sound, A/V elements, initial construction efforts and design layout.

“The Indiegogo campaign was a tremendous success and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing volunteers who put together events, spread the word and contributed their time to increase awareness and contributions. It’s the initial step that shows our future investors the power of the people of Las Vegas and their desire to have The Huntridge up and running again. We’ve assembled an incredible team with some of the most talented people and top companies in our city as partners and advisors in the project.  The fact the community continues to support with goods, services, time and energy – is just amazing and inspiring,” said Huntridge Revival, LLC partner Joey Vanas.

“As a Las Vegas based company, The PENTA Building Group has helped shape the Las Vegas skyline for over a decade and we’re excited about the opportunity to help restore this part of the downtown community. On initial walks through the theatre, and the furniture store next door, the buildings seem to be in good shape and we look forward to partnering with Joey and Michael in bringing the Huntridge back to life,” said Tony Cornell of The PENTA Building Group.

The group plans to return the iconic building to its original glory and more, restoring its place as Las Vegas’ favorite venue for live music, performing arts and cinema. Also included in the early discussions are a food and beverage outlet, a music education facility, a permanent exhibit curated by the Huntridge Foundation to preserve and continue the history of this cultural landmark, and flexible-use spaces for community-driven programming.
