UNLV Las Vegas Themed Football Field

UNLV has a new Las Vegas themed football field. It appears to be inspired by the Googie architecture that was present in so many classic Las Vegas hotels.

The field's yard line numbers feature diamonds reminiscent of the old Stardust sign.

The 50 yard line has a star similar to the one on the famous Welcome To Las Vegas sign. The sign itself is also painted in each end-zone.

UNLV's football coach tweeted this picture of the field before their first home game of the season a few weeks ago:

Camp Vegas Videos

I turned on the TV this morning and caught the very end of a Camp Vegas commercial. I wanted to see the whole commercial so I went searching for the videos and this is what I found:







Whatever you think of the campaign (a lot of people have been criticizing) it looks like they are putting some effort into it, and spending some cash for a national advertising campaign.

Camp Vegas

Las Vegas is like a summer camp for adults. This is the premise behind the city's new "Camp Vegas" campaign.

Mayor Oscar Goodman, Holly Madison and Wayne Newton were on hand to "Effectively begin summer in The Entertainment Capital of the World almost two months ahead of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere."

As part of the campaign the famous Las Vegas Sign will be changed to read "Welcome to Fabulous Camp Vegas Nevada" which is sure to confuse many unsuspecting visitors arriving by car. The sign will remain this way for the next 36 hours, or until vandals rip it down, whichever comes first.

To cap off the festivities, traffic along Las Vegas Boulevard was stopped as bikini-clad skydivers descended upon the strip. Plans are in the works to also have skydivers at Wrigley Field and Dodger Stadium inviting fans to start their summer early in Las Vegas.
