The cs.unlv.edu domain has the following record:

cs.unlv.edu. IN NS	egr-stu-fs.egr.unlv.edu.

Since NS records are supposed to point to primary names,
egr-stu-fs.egr.unlv.edu should have an A record, but instead it has a CNAME
record:

egr-stu-fs.egr.unlv.edu.  IN CNAME  egr-fac-fs-18.egr.unlv.edu.

Unless you're the administrator of the egr.unlv.edu domain, this isn't your
problem.  However, it looks like they've already fixed it; the CNAME record
showed up in my server's cache the first time i looked, but then it went
away.
