Lauren Gatto (Student Success) and Marla Stafford (Marketing and International Business) coauthored an article titled “When Fun Turns Risky,” published in Global Gaming Business Magazine. The article examines the darker side of consumption in cities like Las Vegas, where indulgence, risk, and immersive experiences often converge. The authors highlight how attractions rooted in gambling, substance use, and dark tourism are both glamorized and normalized, raising important questions about public health, marketing ethics, and harm reduction.
