In summary, UNLV got control of all of the tickets other than a small block for staff and family friends etc. UNLV is selling them to all their season ticket holders and donors first. The Orleans doesn't hold a lot (7,500 iirc) and there is some concern that tickets will be hard to come by. I e-mailed the AD office and McGuffin is going to try to get ahold of some more. Some of those with experience with UNLV games at the Orleans are saying tickets will become available eventually. Also, there is always ebay, craigslist, stubhub, etc. I would prolly e-mail mcguffin and tell him how many you need and see if he can get some.
