I recently transferred from the University of Nevada, Reno to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas because of financial reason, so I am unsure what UNLV is best known for. However, UNR has many traditions and was the first university to be established in Nevada. Some traditions include homecoming, Mackay Week, Painting the “N,” and the new creation of the Blue Crew to support fellow classmates at athletic events. School spirit is always in the air and they are super competitive when it comes to playing against UNLV.

Bryan

my favorite tradition by far is the unlv premier. at the beginning of every fall semester for one night there is a big get together on the north field. the main purpose of the event is to get new students and old students to mingle and come together as a university. there are always a ton of people present and there is a lot of free food and free items to get such as water bottles and t-shirts. there is a big stage with dancers and djs and a lot of other entertainment. the culmination of all of this is once it gets dark outside, all of the students either use their cell phones or glowsticks and form unlv with their bodies. freshman form the u and so on and so forth. once all is lit up and everybody is in position, fireworks go off and our picture is snapped. it is truly an awesome time. oh and everything there is free!
