From lotteries to casinos, horse tracks to mobile sports betting, tribal bingo halls to prediction markets, most of America is awash in gambling as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. But gambling was popular in America before there even WAS an America. Native Americans played games with sticks and dice, including a hide-the-stone-in-a-moccasin game that could be the precursor of the modern shell game. British settlers brought their country's love of gambling to the new world, betting on horse races, playing cards and dice games in taverns, and using lotteries to help finance public works projects, including the very establishment of some of the American colonies long before they declared independence in 1776.

She walks through the door. You already know this story. But here's what you don't: the femme fatale isn't a Hollywood invention — and she was never warning you about her.

When Fallon resident Kelli Kelly walks across the stage at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center tonight to receive her master’s degree in urban leadership, she’ll do so knowing her work created real change. She’s being recognized as one of six outstanding graduates from this year’s class, finishing with a near-perfect grade-point average and an impressive roster of professional achievements. Her crowning moment came last year when the Nevada Legislature passed Assembly Bill 352 — landmark legislation expanding cottage food sales regulations and establishing one of the first statewide frameworks for cottage cosmetics businesses in the country. The bill was Kelly’s passion project, and she’s quick to credit UNLV’s support as a driving force behind its passage.
