Then again, UNLV is to universities about like Trump steaks are to meat. Serviceable, but promising lots more than was/is delivered. I used to live in LV and my wife taught classes at UNLV for a couple semesters. It was more a community college w delusions of grandeur than a university with all that label implies. At least that was true back in the 1990s; I’m not so sure about today. ---
