Circa, medical school exemplify Las Vegas’ tradition of thinking big
In one amazing 48-hour span last week, Las Vegas celebrated two landmark events that served as a tribute to the ingenuity, boldness and resiliency that put our community on the global map.
The first came when the spectacular Circa resort opened Wednesday on Fremont Street, marking the completion of the first ground-up casino-hotel project downtown in four decades. That gala occasion was followed Thursday mid-morning with a groundbreaking ceremony for the new academic building for the UNLV School of Medicine, located on the Shadow Ridge campus not far away from the new resort.
