We’ve got two great talks scheduled for the Center for Gaming Research later this month.
The first, “Commercialization, Crime, and Casinos: Legacies of 18th Century Gambling,” is by Dr. Nicholas Tosney, our April visiting fellow and a really cool guy to boot. You can see the flyer here. Dr. Tosney is speaking in Special Collections at Lied Library on Wednesday, April 22 at 12:15. If you’re on campus, I strongly urge you to stop by.
A mere eight days later, we’re having casino superhost Steve Cyr, currently senior director of player development at the Hard Rock Las Vegas, give a talk called “From Hotel School to the Celebrity Suite: My Career in the Casino Industry.” You can see the flyer here. Cyr is speaking at 2 PM on Thursday, April 30, in the Extended Study Area, which is on the first floor of Lied Library.
Lied Library is, of course, on UNLV’s campus, on the Swenson/Paradise side of Harmon.
Both events will be podcasted for the benefit of those who are unable to attend.
Read more about CGR events right here.
These look like good talks. I’ll listen via podcast.
BTW: Both of those links go to the Tosney page.
I read steve’s book. He seems to be very successful at getting people to gamble big. I will definitely want to hear his talk via podcast.
The link to Cyr’s flyer is fixed.
