It is widely believed that Mr. Zuiker was developing his ideas for the television show while working at Steve Wynn's first megaresort, The Mirage, as a valet attendant/bellhop/tram host.
On October 25, 2007, he received the Big Brother Award Austria 2007 in the category of communication and marketing. The jury stated among other things, "The CSI television series present computer surveillance, DNA-analysis and the overthrow of civil rights in an uncritical, trivialized and dangerously onesided kind of way". Furthermore the rights of people in general and the suspects in particular would be pictured primarily as impediments of investigations.
