When UNLV opened its Nevada Entertainer/Artist Hall of Fame in September 2003, film director George Sidney was the first inductee.

The UNLV Hall of Fame its award after him. Past inductees have included "CSI" creator Anthony E. Zuiker, impersonator Rich Little, dancer Nancy Houssels, singer Phyllis McGuire and actor Tony Curtis.
THE KILLERS
The Killers, an alternative rock band, was formed in 2002 and consists of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion).
During shows at Las Vegas clubs, the Killers attracted the attention of agents and signed with the independent British label Lizard King.
The band's 2004 debut album "Hot Fuss" was classified multiplatinum by the British Phonographic Industry and the Recording Industry Association of America. It included the hits "Mr. Brightside," "All These Things That I've Done" and "Somebody Told Me." Its second album, "Sam's Town," produced the hit single "When You Were Young" and "Bones." Those albums have sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. The band released a compilation of B-sides and other rarities as its third album, "Sawdust," last year.
The Killers have received more than 60 award nominations and have won more than a dozen awards from the likes of MTV, Britain's New Musical Express and the National Association of Recording Merchandisers. The group has seven Grammy nominations but no wins.
The Killers ya son parte oficialmente del Salón de la Fama de Entretenimiento en la Universidad de Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV)
Solo Ronnie y Mark estuvieron presentes en la ceremonia, ya que Dave se encontraba celebrando el cumpleaños de su hijo, mientras que Brandon estaba terminando de grabar la voz en la ultima canción que faltaba de Day and Age
