Editor’s note: Welcome to the new Las Vegas Weekly magazine

Welcome to the new Las Vegas Weekly. That’s a grand statement, for sure, but one justified by the changes debuting in this week’s issue.

For the first time in more than a decade, our magazine has a new shape. We asked our barber to take an inch off the top, stripping away a bit of old bulk for a sleeker, sturdier and more practical size. Take it for a spin—roll it and stuff it into your back pocket, or try stashing it upright on a bookshelf (it fits!).

And for the first time ever, our pages are glossy—not just here and there but all the way through, a rarity for weekly publications anywhere and unique in this market among magazines of its kind. Those loud noises you’ve been hearing are our photographers celebrating the way their work will now pop off the page.

Our designers also deserve a party, for the tireless efforts they’ve put into giving the Weekly its fresh feel, artistic and bold. Our content has never looked better, and we’re confident you’ll find its new presentations more useful and informative than ever.

You’ll surely also notice our new section flow. Trust Us—our picks for each week’s absolute musts—now gets things started, followed by the Intersection, where reports on our Valley, its people and their untold stories reside. Longer-form Features come next, and then our delectable Food & Drink pages, the perfect lead-in to Industry Weekly, our trusted guide to the nightlife world. The back of the book remains dedicated to the A&E sections that built the Weekly brand: Screen, Noise, Fine Art, our Calendar listings and more.

So dig in and get to know your Weekly all over again. As we grow into our new self in the weeks ahead, expect a few more cosmetic tweaks, all of them devised with one goal: providing you with the best vantage point on the Valley—the one you’ve relied on for close to 20 years.

We think you’ll enjoy it more than ever.
