Viva Las Vegas!

What was I doing 32 years ago today, 1984-12-16?  I was sitting in a seat at the newly completed Thomas & Mack Center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas watching Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Diana Ross at the grand opening ceremony.  I think I remarked at the time, 4 days from graduation, that now all the students who wanted to watch the Runnin’ Rebels pay basketball should be able to do so, since there were now 18,000 seats instead of the approximately 1,000 seats that that were available to students when the Rebs played at the Las Vegas Convention Center
