Western Stage Props Poised to Lead as Las Vegas Becomes “Hollywood 2.0”
LAS VEGAS, NV — [April 25, 2025] — As Las Vegas attracts national attention for its growing role in the film and television industry, one local business has already been laying the groundwork for decades. Western Stage Props, a veteran supplier of props, replica weaponry, and special effects gear, is uniquely positioned to support the region’s explosive entertainment production growth.
Founded in the 1980s and relocated to Las Vegas in 1994 by Mark Allen, known to many as the prop expert from the hit TV series Pawn Stars, Western Stage Props has built a national reputation for supplying high-quality materials to major productions. Since 2015, the business has been operated by the husband-and-wife team of Kyle Petersen and Kristine Petrucione, both with deep ties to the entertainment industry and the Las Vegas creative community.
“We’ve been here supporting local and national productions long before anyone was talking about Las Vegas as the next Hollywood,” said Kyle Petersen, Marketing Lead and Co-Owner. “Now that the spotlight is shifting here, we’re ready to help lead the charge.”
