Getting Lucky: Working Women and Sexual Fantasy in Las Vegas Dec. 4

Join the UNLV Libraries Special Collections and Archives for the next Eadington Fellow Colloquium with Chelsea Kai Roesch, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on Thursday, Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. in the Goldfield Room at Lied Library

This talk examines Las Vegas working women’s appearance management strategies at their jobs in the sex trade, entertainment, and service industries between the 1970s–2000s as a critical part of marketing a Las Vegas tourism fantasy in which a visitor might get lucky in more ways than one.

Please register.

The William R. Eadington Fellowship program is sponsored by the University Libraries Special Collections and Archives and funds scholarly research into our collections on gaming and Las Vegas.
