Biographical / Historical Note
The Department of Hotel Administration was created in 1967 in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Business School. In 1969, Jerry Vallen advocated for a separate College of Hotel Administration. The school moved into the Frank and Estella Beam Hall in 1984, and was renamed the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration in 1989 after benefactor and founder of Harrah's Entertainment Inc., William F. Harrah. In 1993, Faculty members created the International Gaming Institute within the Stan Fulton Building, and the Bob Boughner funded the creation of the Boughner Career Service Center in 2007. In 2018, the college moved into the Hospitality Hall, and is currently known as the Harrah College of Hospitality.
