Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UNLV is a fairly new school compared to other more established universities, and it shows. A few of UNLV’s buildings look like they were built when the school was founded in 1957, but rather than adding character, they look worse for wear. Grant Hall, which was built in 1959, is especially pathetic. The good news is that a lot of money has been put into renewal efforts. School officials are slowly updating amenities such as furniture and technology, to freshen up the campus. The new student union, Recreation and Wellness Center, and updated Lied Library are all hits with the students. UNLV’s master plan has a list of future renovation projects and additions, which includes five much-anticipated parking garages already in construction.

UNLV’s main campus is landlocked. It makes the administration more efficient in its planning, but it also means there cannot be any drastic increases in campus size. The dental school is located away from campus, and UNLV officials are planning to expand the main campus to the north side of the Las Vegas Valley, but by the time that’s built, you’ll have long since graduated.

Facilities at UNLV

I would say for the most part UNLV is kept up. Some buildings are older and can tell by design, but are kept clean. Newer buildings are very nice and pleasant. All buildings have well open space, and have a great comfort level

Clean Campus and Nice Gym~

When you walk on campus you will never see trash anywhere. The campus is always cleaned up. There are staff members who excessively drive around campus with trash buckets picking up as much trash as possible. The landscape is amazing and the overall environment is wonderful. The gym at UNLV is gigantic! It has five stories of pure relaxation and enjoyment. We have everything from yoga classes, cycling class, and even the track on the top floor. UNLV is absolutely amazing!

The Facilities

The facilities on campus are great. There's always something to do. The library and student center are a very popular hang out for students and staff.

Favorite Things To Do

As a rule, most students don’t hang out on campus. Those who do go to the MSU where students like to play pool, table tennis, and arcade games, hang out on the numerous couches and at Starbucks, or attend a lecture in the theatre. Students also like to work out or enjoy a smoothie at the Recreation and Wellness Center. Also, there's an event every month at the SU called Rebels After Dark. Bands and comedians are invited to perform, and students come to watch, play videogames together, make crafts, eat, and socialize.

Escape the heat inside the MSU, watch sporting events, go to concerts and other events in the Thomas & Mack Center, write for UNLV’s newspaper (The Rebel Yell) or other UNLV publications, submit literature or artwork to UNLV’s creative magazine (Vagus Nerve), play tennis, work out in the gym, swim, join a team, play games in the game room, watch lecturers brought to campus by the Barbara Greenspun Lecture Series and the Barrick Lecture Series, or go to see perfomers at the Charles Vanda Master Series.

Did You Know? In 1964, Elvis Presley and Ann-Margaret danced in the university's original gym in a famous scene from the film Viva Las Vegas.
