As I relay my walk down the casino district there are many obvious differences from University of Nevada Reno. Its as if you walk down the street from reality and a safe place, it begins to vastly differ, transitioning into a completely new world. There are many lights to draw the tourists in, you could tell they were really soaking it up and indulging in it by taking picture after picture out the windows of their cars. I do have to admit they were pretty flashy and caught your eye. It was unlike any other part of Reno. Including the part where you felt you were a little paranoid as to the events that had the possibility of occurring, yet that is the beauty of a car. I have to admit I didn't really get out of the car to physically walk down the casino district, but I observed it and absorbed the environment from within the confounds of my friends car. The district was obviously geared towards grasping the attention of adults and inviting them in to gamble or drink, with lights galore and signs displaying their new promotions. It appears as though the values of the casino district are to lure people into their casinos and for them to spend money; as for UNR, there are no apparent goals or values other than getting involved in the community and getting an education. Their values are directed to students.
I had no idea that the casino district was once "off-limits" to university students. In the present, it seems like that is not held true anymore and they attempt to attract everyone from all crowds as well as making the casino district a slight more college student friendly. Especially those over the age of 21. Yet, there are still activities to do for the underage as well, just not as much.
