From the President

"Thrilled to welcome science advocate and icon Bill Nye 'The Science Guy' to UNLV for the Barrick Lecture Series! Alongside Commissioner Segerblom and Clark County NV, we are proud to honor Bill Nye with a key to the World-Famous Las Vegas Strip. Amazing time celebrating science at UNLV!"

A Worldwide Destination

Dripping in the golden desert sun and spread across 335 acres in the heart of Las Vegas, UNLV provides nowhere-else opportunities in this 24-hour metropolis. And while Las Vegas might be the center of it all, it doesn't take long to slip the bonds of this little oasis and get out into the desert, as we are just minutes from natural getaways and less than a day's drive from the entire American Southwest.

"Being a Rebel means I can make whatever I wish to achieve happen. I have no doubts. Just sit back and watch me become exceptional just like my peers."
