The UNLV Libraries Collection of Articles on Gaming and Las Vegas, Nevada Topics consists of photocopied periodicals and book chapters on a wide variety of gaming and general Las Vegas, Nevada topics. The majority of the collection material focuses on problem gambling and were copied from psychology, psychiatry, and addiction journals originating in the United States and Europe. Original dates of publication range from approximately 1837 to 1999. Other topics include tourism, southern Nevada history, and Howard Hughes' influence in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The National Gambling Impact Study Commission (NGISC) files document NGISC’s efforts to survey gambling in the United States dating from approximately 1980 to 2002, with the bulk of materials dating from 1997 to 1999. Spilde worked on a subcommittee of the commission that researched the impacts of Native American gaming and non-Native American gaming on Native American and non-Native American communities. The materials include NGISC testimonies; agendas; memos from NGISC, the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA), and the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC); correspondence from corporations and private communities regarding their support of Native American gaming; socioeconomic reports; journal articles; and newspaper articles. The socioeconomic reports investigate a number of topics such as state lotteries, Native American gaming, and advertising.
