It's common knowledge among everyone who pays attention to such things that Americans frequently dress super casually — and have for quite a while now.

Look around you, and you'll likely notice a sea of different outfits. You might see similar articles of clothing — even the same ones — worn by different people, but rarely do you find two pairings of tops, bottoms, shoes, and accessories that are exactly alike.

It might seem surprising that the road in North Las Vegas named for Tom Williams, who created that city, is such a short and unheralded thoroughfare.

UNLV and the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health have been awarded an $11.1 million federal grant to advance the understanding of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

I study one of the most profound cultural changes of the 20th century: the rise of casual dress.

Our friends in Boulder City—and around Nevada and Arizona and California—are justly proud of Hoover Dam. Its construction made the growth of these areas possible, or at least more possible. Certainly, Las Vegas couldn’t have the population it has without the water from Lake Mead. And we wouldn’t be having the debates we’re having about water and our future, either.
