Did Las Vegas Uber drivers, hotel clerks and restaurant workers pick up on sudden increase in North Dakota accents this week?

We’re pretty sure they did, judging by the high numbers of UND fans who have flocked to Las Vegas to follow the Frozen Four fortunes of the Fighting Hawks.

Below is a selection of photos and video shorts compiled by UND staffers who are documenting the Championship Week activities. The photos are by Senior University Photographer Shawna Schill, the videos are by Senior Video Producer Matt Schill and the great times are obviously being experienced by all. Enjoy!
