The 19th International Conference on Gambling & Risk Taking will convene on May 26-29, 2026 at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Eadington was the founding academic in gaming research and host this first-of-its-kind gathering, which has reconvened every three years. Since Eadington’s passing in 2013, UNLV’s International Gaming Institute has produced the conference.

More than 60 people have died on Las Vegas valley roads while in or crossing streets, leading road safety advocates to once again sound the alarm.

Officers across the Las Vegas valley handed out the kind of holiday “stuffing” no driver wants. Police used a giant turkey mascot to enforce crosswalk laws. The operation took place near 4622 West Desert Inn Road, just east of Decatur Boulevard outside James Cashman Middle School. Officers from CCSD Police, LVMPD Traffic, North Las Vegas Police, Henderson Police, and UNLV Police took part in the effort. In just a few hours, officers conducted 145 traffic stops and issued 109 citations to drivers who failed to yield to the oversized turkey in the crosswalk. One vehicle was also towed.
