UNLV is coming to the UAE



"Regents give go-ahead to explore UNLV campus in U.A.E." by Vegas News - Las Vegas Sun

So first came Michigan State University (MSU) to Dubai, then New York University (NYU) in Abu Dhabi, now UNLV is opening a satellite campus in Ras al Khaimah. Well, its been approved anyways. It makes sense for the Vegas based campus to come to this region. Las Vegas and Dubai have already partnered up in business ventures with MGM/Mirage and Dubai World investing 50% of the equity needed to fund the City Center project, and Zabeel Investments buying a 50% stake into hospitality group The Light Group. UNLV already has a satellite campus in Singapore. The campus will be focusing on hotel administration and hospitality administration. The UAE is similar to Vegas with all the posh clubs, hotels, shops, and amenities that The Strip offers. Someone who graduates from UNLV's program can be promised a similar lifestyle to that of Sin City, minus Moose Diesel.
