Publishing Principles
A practical explanation of how Vegas Report selects, researches, reviews, labels, publishes and updates editorial material.
Vegas Report publishes editorial content about Las Vegas, Southern Nevada, hospitality, tourism, entertainment and the visitor economy for readers in the Las Vegas Valley and beyond. These principles explain how we select, review, label and update published material.
The focus of this page is the practical publishing process: how a relevant subject becomes editorial material and how readers are given context about the type, sourcing and current status of that material.
What We Publish
- News
- Explainers
- Analysis
- Guides
- Reviews
- Rankings and comparisons
- Interviews
- Expert commentary
- Opinion or commentary when clearly identified
These formats serve different purposes. A news report emphasizes a development, an explainer provides context, a guide addresses a practical question, and a review or ranking may include editorial assessment.
Vegas Report does not currently publish sponsored or partner content.
Topic Selection
Topics are prioritized according to relevance, reader usefulness, public interest, timeliness, available sourcing, practical impact and the need to clarify complex or misunderstood issues.
The existence of promotional material or a public announcement may make a subject visible, but it does not by itself determine whether the subject merits editorial coverage.
Source-Based Publishing
Primary sources are preferred where practical, including public records, government information, regulatory filings, company disclosures, official prices and policies, datasets and direct statements.
The purpose is to connect material claims to sources capable of supporting them. When primary sources are incomplete, additional context may be needed to explain what the available evidence does and does not establish.
Editorial Review
- Research relevant information.
- Draft the article.
- Review material facts and context.
- Check important sources and links.
- Apply additional scrutiny to sensitive claims.
- Make the final editorial publication decision.
This sequence describes the general logic of publishing rather than a guarantee that every article receives an identical form or volume of review.
Content Labels
Where useful, content may be identified as News, Analysis, Explainer, Guide, Review, Ranking, Methodology, Opinion or another accurate format label.
Labels help readers understand what kind of material they are reading and whether the article is primarily reporting facts, explaining a subject or presenting an editorial assessment.
If sponsored or paid partner material is introduced in the future, it must be clearly labeled.
Commercial Separation
Commercial relationships do not determine independent editorial conclusions. Paid visibility does not determine editorial ranking position.
The commercial environment around a page should therefore be understood separately from the editorial reasoning that produced the article itself.
AI Use
Vegas Report currently uses AI only for generated or AI-assisted imagery. It does not currently use generative AI for article drafting, translation, source summarization or source monitoring.
AI-generated imagery does not replace human editorial responsibility or serve as evidence supporting a factual claim.
Updates and Corrections
Outdated information may be updated. Verified factual errors are handled through the Corrections Policy.
Minor grammar, formatting and style edits that do not change substantive meaning may be made without a separate correction note.
The distinction between an update and a correction matters because information may change over time without having been inaccurate when originally published.
Reader Feedback
Reader feedback may help identify outdated information, possible factual errors or areas where existing material requires clearer explanation.
