The Maurine Jackson Smith Memorial Organ, located inside the Dr. Arturo Rando-Grillot Hall, celebrated 20 years since installation. Through a four-year building process, its 10,000 pieces were handmade in Hamburg, Germany, and shipped to Las Vegas. The instrument features three keyboards, 38 stops, and 3,000 pipes arranged into 53 sets. The organ is the largest in the state, and was made possible by a $500,000 donation from the family of the late Maurine Jackson Smith.
