The UNLV Campus

Posted by Mark Clawson

I decided to visit the campus at UNLV yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. UNLV was established as an Arboretum in 1985. The grounds are often referred to as the Emerald of the Desert.

Having attended the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, I was amazed by the green foliage and numerous native plants that were on display. This is expected in the Pacific Northwest; but I didn’t expect what I saw on the UNLV campus. Below is a photo of Lied Library. 

The campus is home to about 28,000 students including graduate studies. Most of you know that photos are important to me and my blogs; they draw the reader in.

This will be a photo post of the campus and I hope that you enjoy.
