Las Vegas Weekly

Las Vegas Weekly is a no-cost alternative weekly newspaper located in Henderson, Nevada, that focuses on the arts, entertainment, culture, and news in Las Vegas. It is published by Greenspun Media Group. The publication began in 1992, created by James P. Reza, Greg Ryan, and Robert Ringle, originally as a monthly magazine called Scope Magazine. This magazine highlighted the culture, arts, music, and lifestyle of Southern Nevada from a Generation X viewpoint. The first issue of Scope was released in April 1992. In 1996, Reza teamed up with Daniel Greenspun to establish Radiant City Publications LLC, which took over the publication of Scope. During this time, Reza served as Managing Editor and shifted the magazine's format to resemble a traditional alternative newsweekly, increasing its frequency to biweekly. In 1998, Reza sold his remaining stake in Scope to The Greenspun Corporation, which revamped the publication and rebranded it as Las Vegas Weekly. By December 2009, the circulation of Las Vegas Weekly reached 65,000.

It wasn’t a boom, but the Strip did have a surge in supper clubs before and during the pandemic era, a time when it just made sense to combine live entertainment and dining in a fun, flashy, somewhat nostalgic way. Some of those venues are still around and still our favorites, and their influence can be felt in new restaurants and clubs all over Las Vegas. Perhaps Rose. Rabbit.
