Las Vegas Weekly is a free alternative weekly newspaper based in Henderson, Nevada, covering Las Vegas arts, entertainment, culture and news. Las Vegas Weekly is published by Greenspun Media Group. The paper was founded in 1992 by James P. Reza, Greg Ryan and Robert Ringle as a free monthly publication called Scope Magazine covering Southern Nevada's culture, arts, music and lifestyle from a decidedly Generation X perspective.[2] Scope published its first issue in April 1992, and the 2021 documentary "Parkway of Broken Dreams" (directed by Pj Perez) highlights the rise and fall of alternative culture in Las Vegas.[3] Anticipating this decline, and wishing to broaden the paper's reach and coverage, in 1996 Reza partnered with Daniel Greenspun, forming a new company (Radiant City Publications LLC) to publish Scope. During this partnership, Reza continued on as Managing Editor, expanding the coverage to a more traditional alternative newsweekly style, and accelerated the publishing schedule to biweekly. In 1998, Reza sold his remaining interest in Scope to The Greenspun Corporation, who retooled it and renamed it Las Vegas Weekly.[4] As of December 2009, Las Vegas Weekly had a circulation of 65,000.[1] In 2018, Greenspun merged sister publication The Sunday into Las Vegas Weekly.[5]
