A poolside barbecue, a pre-game tailgate party, and a football game pitting the UNLV Rebels against the Utah Utes are among the activities awaiting participants in UNLV's Family Weekend '99 next month. Too often, families don't get to spend much time sharing in their children's college experiences. That's true not only of the families who live outside Southern Nevada, but for Las Vegas families as well. This is the second year we've done this and if last year was any indication, this year's family weekend should be a blast.
Family members can choose to participate in all the events or select individual events.
There participants can pick up their welcome package as well as their tickets for the weekend's events. That night, families are invited to gather at the Hard Rock Hotel and Resort for a Caribbean Poolside Family Feast from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. A barbecue buffet will be served. Saturday's activities will revolve around football. It's the UNLV Rebels vs. the Utah Utes at 7 p.m. at the newly renovated Sam Boyd Stadium.
