Why does a teaching hospital in LAS VEGAS have to be affiliated with Reno!? Who said UNLV can't get funding. We are certainly able to get funding for basketball and the hotel school?

Why not plan and create a state-of-the-art teaching hospital and medical school for UNLV. Las Vegas is a much more attractive place to go to medical school than Reno is. If you build it, they will come.

We've built a successful law school in Vegas, we can build a successful medical school. The funds will come. Look forward... UNLV School of Medicine.

Hey Superbabd,not true. I saw signs that said UNR from UNR fans.

I think it's great that they are giving our state some good representation as "Nevada," but when they come down here they will always be UNR. They will always be RENO!

MWC Tournament.

"KING OF THE MOUNTAIN" The Mountain West Conference Football Championship!!! Only one can be at the top of the Mountain, only one can be KING!!!

Wow.. Lots of doom and gloom in this article. It's the stuff that we cannot foresee that will either keep Vegas stagnant or let it recover. I like to think that we have people in this town with the ideas to make this recovery happen in a big way.

There were so-called experts years ago that would say Las Vegas would remain a small gambling town.

Senator Reid is scratching Sig Rogich's back so that he can get his own back scratched even better come his next time up for election.

Senator Reid sold out. Rail to Victorville?!! That sounds so OLD. We have the opportunity to lead the way for maglev, maybe even using some solar power. Let's connect two major tourism powerhouses, Disneyland and Vegas! They may have old Sid and Harry, but we've got Walt and Mickey!

DesertXpress says they don't want to tap any of the proposed stimulus funds but instead want "loans." Do they REALLY intend to pay back the loans? They may come back saying they can't turn a profit and can't pay anymore of the loan. What if Sig Rogich pays himself as much as he can until the route has to get taken over by the government because they supposedly can't turn a profit?! "Experts say there are virtually no privately run rail lines in operation anywhere in the world because they cannot be built without public money, and cannot turn a profit."

GO MAGLEV! Forget Victorville..."I'm going to Disneyland!" The old high-powered politicians want to go 150mph. The PEOPLE want to go 310mph.

There's not problem with calling UNR, Nevada. We just think it should really be called by the name that best represents the university. You should be referred to as "Reno." There are other names but you probably wouldn't be able to publish those.

Whatever Homer! Who cares about what you think anyways. You sound bitter. You must be from Reno and probably didn't even go to college in the first place. (You obviously didn't. Otherwise you'd know that "no body" is one word and not two!)

GO REBELS!!! BEAT RENO!!!

You make a VERY good point SMB!

Okay, okay. Williamtomany1 and Wolf Pack fans, we're not going to call you UNR or Nevada-Reno. Heck, we won't even call you "The Team Up North." We're just going to call you... RENO!

Go Rebels! Beat RENO!

Even if the Rebels don't win at Utah this Saturday... that 27-0 SHUTOUT last year will still tasts so, so SWEET!

JohninMontana? What are you talking about? Las Vegas has been know to do very well during recession periods. Gaming companies have also done well during recession periods. I'd be more concerned for yourself in Montana then for us in Vegas.
