  • Expert Commentary on the Future of Esports from Seth Schorr
    EXPERT COMMENTARY ON ESPORTS FROM SETH SCHORR (DO NOT DELETE) 11/22/2017 11:35 AM EXPERT COMMENTARY ON THE FUTURE OF ESPORTS FROM SETH SCHORR Seth Schorr is the chief executive officer of Fifth Street Gaming, LLC., which operates the Downtown Grand Las Vegas, as well as The Lucky Club Casino and Hotel and the Silver Nugget Casino and Event Center. Schorr is additionally known to be something of an eSports pioneer — serving as a board member of Millennial eSports, and organizer of various eSports events and tournaments in Downtown Las Vegas. _________________________________________________ I. BACKGROUND Will you tell us about your background and how you got into the gaming business? I moved to Las Vegas in 1983, where I lived in room number 1027 at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino with my family. My dad was working for Steve Wynn at the time, so I was very much exposed to the casino industry at a very young age. I was six years old, living in a casino, which was a pretty good way to get exposed to the casino world and find things like slot machines and casino buffets to be very normal. The Meadows School bus would pick me up under the hotel porte cochère, so it was a very unique life, even for a kid growing up in Las Vegas. I had my first job in 1990 at the Golden Nugget Laughlin. I was about thirteen years old, and obviously worked in a non-gaming capacity. I was exposed to the casino-resort organization at a very young age.

  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.
