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. Distributed freely throughout the greater Las Vegas area at bars, cafes, record stores, and other retail outlets, Scope published its first monthly issue in April 1992, featuring a familiar format of band interviews, news features, columns, a venue guide, and a 30-day calendar of music and arts events, all geared toward alternative culture. The 2021 documentary "Parkway of Broken Dreams" (directed by Pj Perez) highlights the rise and fall of that alternative culture in Las Vegas, including interviews with Reza and multiple Scope staffers. In its first year, Scope's primary competitors were the similar free newsprint tabloids In Music, and later in 1992, the first version of Las Vegas Weekly (published by Patrick Gaffey, and independent of the Las Vegas Weekly discussed here). Both In Music and Gaffey's version of Las Vegas Weekly ceased publication in 1993. More information...
