What's Happening

iGaming Business

In Nevada, some of the most stable jobs in the field have been with the slot suppliers. For those seeking to become game developers, one challenge has been that students under 21 don’t have the opportunity to study a lot of games in the field. In Nevada and many states, the legal gambling age is 21.

University Business

To get more engineers to stay in the state after graduation, UNLV received $4 million from the GOED for a program that helps students obtain paid internships with startup and tech companies.

Las Vegas Weekly

Higher education is an investment, and the Legislature this year approved more than $74 million in budget restorations for the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), according to NSHE’s website.

KLAS-TV: 8 News Now
