When Macau outstripped Las Vegas...the two business models that are driven by such fundamentally different dynamics that they are unlikely ever to converge, let alone replicate one another.

On August 10, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas announced an oral-history project profiling 10 Nevada bookmakers, still to be named. The interviews will be conducted by gaming historian David G. Schwartz and  veteran casino executive and regulator Richard Schuetz.

The Mob Museum will host "Not Built in a Day: The Epic Story of Caesars Palace," a panel discussion marking the 60th anniversary of the iconic Strip resort. The panel will feature Jay Sarno Jr., Bill Weinberger Jr., and UNLV gaming historian David G. Schwartz, who will explain how Caesars Palace helped transform Las Vegas into an international destination.
