Top Law Schools

I am curious as to how many graduates from UNLV actually enter into a career as a gaming attorney. I am even more curious about in house counsel for Hotel & Casinos. I am interested in pursuing a career in this field, but am not sure how achievable this is from UNLV. Does anyone have any insight on this question?

I'm also interested in this area of law.

Follow up to OP's question - what other schools would be best to get into gaming law besides UNLV? For example, an attorney in CA who wanted to work with Indian casinos, etc.

I've spoken with some attorneys in the field. Most of them worked as counsel for hotel/hospitality companies and then transitioned into gaming, which is a really niche field. I dont know how UNLV's program is but I imagine it's probably pretty good. The attorneys I spoked to mostly went to law school in the DC area, where much of the hotel industry's big players are located.

The only gaming attorney I know of is I. Nelson Rose. He went to HLS and now teaches at Whittier. His bio indicates, in part, "While on sabbatical from Whittier Law School in 1993-1994, he became the first Visiting Scholar at the University of Nevada-Reno and taught the only course of gaming law in the state of Nevada."

I think it is an interesting field, especially if one wants to learn UIGEA and banking law to help a poker website like PokerStars reintegrate state-by-state into the US market. But, it's very niche.
