I was to the library for a roundtable discussion so I can't review the books nor the study areas. What I can say is that it is a beautiful building, unlike any library I've ever been in. I noticed on the way in that the dedication plaque read 2001 so it's somewhat new.
I knew I was going to the Goldfield Room on the 3rd floor. I saw the stairs on entering, and I made my way to the 3rd floor. I studied the map and then saw a sign with an arrow showing visitors where the roundtable was being held.
The roundtable was sponsored by the UNLV Special Collections Division. This division collects and preserves the history of Southern Nevada and especially Las Vegas. The moderator of the event was Dr. David Schwartz, the Director of the Center For Gaming Research at UNLV. The Center is part of the UNLV Special Collections Division.
The room was large, bright, and the sound system for the discussion was excellent. What a super place for an event like this. I hope to go back to the library some day when I have nothing planned and just walk around and browse.
