David G. Schwartz “The First 100 Days,” Page 30 Our weekly Green Felt Journal columnist is the director of the Center for Gaming Research at UNLV. Schwartz has written extensively about gambling and casinos, including the award-winning Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling (Gotham, 2006). His academic interest in the industry grew after working in casino security and surveillance, but it was a youth spent in Atlantic City that planted the seed. “I was born five years before the first casino opened, so I can barely remember life before gaming,” he says. “When I was growing up, hotel implosions and casino construction were just the coolest things imaginable.” He has lived in Las Vegas since 2001.
