Editorial Policy

Vegas Report publishes author-led reporting, guides and explainers about Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Our editorial work is built around usefulness, local context and verifiable detail.

How we select stories

We prioritize subjects that affect how people experience Las Vegas: restaurant openings, entertainment calendars, hotel changes, neighborhood growth, transportation, resort business, sports weekends and public decisions that shape visitors and residents.

News value comes from impact, timeliness, reader utility, distinct local context, public record value and whether a topic changes decisions readers make.

Formats we publish

A news story reports what happened and why it matters. An analysis explains causes, trade-offs and consequences. An opinion is clearly framed as a viewpoint. A guide helps readers choose, plan or compare. A profile follows a person, venue, company or neighborhood through evidence and interviews.

Evidence and sources

We use public records, official announcements, venue materials, company filings, event calendars, direct observation, interviews, archived pages and reputable local reporting. We link or cite the strongest available source inside articles when it helps readers verify the claim.

Updates and corrections

When a material fact changes, we update the article and mark the change inside the story. When an error is identified, we correct it promptly and add a note where the correction materially changes the reader’s understanding.

Archive standards

Older Vegas Report materials are treated as part of the publication record. When we revisit an archived topic, we explain what has changed, preserve the historical context and avoid rewriting the past as if new facts had always been known.
