We’re having a great talk next Thursday night down at the library. It’s been on the gaming.unlv.edu schedule for a while, but I thought it would be nice to offer a friendly reminder:
"There Were Few Solid Facts to Get in the Way":
Popular Perceptions of Bugsy Siegel as Founding Father of Las Vegas
A Special Presentation for Nevada Archives Week 2008
Larry Gragg, Ph.D.
Curators’ Teaching Professor
History and Political Science
Missouri University of Science and Technology
Rolla, Missouri
March 2008 Visiting Gaming Research Fellow
Special Time: 7:30 PM
Special Location: Lied Library Extended Study Lounge–First Floor
Center for Gaming Research: Gaming Research Colloquium Series
Dr. Gragg has done some very deep research into the Siegel conundrum, and I think that this is as close as we’re going to get to an honest, accurate assessment of his impact. If you are interested in Las Vegas or history, or both, I welcome you to come to campus for this free event. Bonus–since it’s after 7, parking is totally free as well.
