Big Picture

People usually react negatively when I tell them that I attend UNLV; some are even shocked that Las Vegas actually has a university. A wide-spread misconception is that Las Vegas only consists of "The Strip" and that the city's residents are either casino-workers or professional gamblers, so it is understandable why it isn't taken seriously as an academic institution. Those that are aware of UNLV's existence think that the student body is only being primed to serve the gaming industry (something I reluctantly agree with), so it is very difficult for other students to gain recognition.
