In my capacity as director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, I recently helped to host a group of visiting MBA students from London’s Cass Business School here in Las Vegas. While in town, they heard presentations from strategic development, operations, and marketing executives from several casino operators, and participated in lively question-and-answer sessions with each. Their acceptance in the executive offices of Las Vegas highlights the critical role that outside input can play in the continuing viability of Nevada’s gaming industry.
