Shaping Las Vegas Through a Culture of Contribution

The Southern Nevada Jewish Heritage Project at UNLV University Libraries documents the rich history of our region’s Jewish people and a city they transformed.

Among the materials collected for the Southern Nevada Jewish Heritage Project is this image from the 1961 opening of the Stardust Golf Course. Burying a time capsule are, from left, Tommy McDonald, Merv Adelson, Gaby Whitaker, Irwin Molasky, Valda Boyne Esau, and Howard Capps.
