The University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) operates a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is affiliated with the Physics Department at UNLV. Students are recruited nationally, with preference for students from the western US, students from underrepresented groups, and students from institutions with limited research facilities. Ten students per summer participate in the program of laboratory research, a seminar series, and a student poster session at the end of the summer. Students live in the dorms and eat their meals together, thus fostering a sense of group interaction. The students join other undergraduate student researchers from other fields in a combined summer research program of nearly thirty students. Students have an opportunity to visit major national facilities at the Nevada Test Site and at either the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory or the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. Many of the students participate in research at the ALS or APS, using UNLV's research facilities. Students thus get a research experience in both "small science" and "big science".

内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校（UNLV）设有本科生研究经验（REU）网站。REU网站隶属于UNLV的物理系。学生在全国范围内招募，优先考虑来自美国西部的学生，来自代表性不足群体的学生以及来自研究设施有限的机构的学生。每年夏天有10名学生参加实验室研究计划，一系列研讨会和夏季结束时的学生海报会议。学生们住在宿舍里，一起吃饭，从而培养了一种群体互动感。学生加入其他领域的其他本科生研究人员在近30名学生的综合夏季研究计划。学生有机会参观内华达州试验场的主要国家设施，以及劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的先进光源（ALS）或阿贡国家实验室的先进光子源（APS）。许多学生参加ALS或APS的研究，使用UNLV的研究设施。因此，学生可以在“小科学”和“大科学”中获得研究经验。
