Las Vegas Magazine

What Las Vegas Magazine does

Las Vegas Magazine is a free weekly entertainment guide for visitors to Las Vegas, distributed in print in 98% of Las Vegas hotel rooms and reaching more than 3 million visitors per month. Operated by Greenspun Media Group, LLC (a Nevada-based LLC headquartered in Henderson, NV), the magazine covers entertainment, dining, nightlife, shows, attractions, and celebrity/local interviews, and is published alongside sister Greenspun Media Group properties including Las Vegas Sun, Vegas Inc, Las Vegas Weekly, and the Vegas2Go mobile application. The publisher is Katie Dixon.

The underlying technology stack is conventional publishing infrastructure rather than proprietary technology: a CMS-driven website at lasvegasmagazine.com, an Issuu-hosted digital flipbook edition, AddToAny social sharing, Constant Contact for email newsletters, and a CafePress-hosted merchandise storefront. Recurring editorial franchises (Hall of Fame, Friends With Benefits, Celebrity Q&A, 7 Days) and a members-only ELITE program for front-of-house hospitality professionals function as differentiated content and community assets.

The business model is primarily advertising-led: print and digital ad sales to Las Vegas hospitality, entertainment, dining, and nightlife venues are packaged through the parent company's media kit and sold on multi-year contracts at undisclosed rates. Secondary revenue lines include affiliate ticket commissions (e.g., Caesars Show Week, concert ticket links), an ELITE membership/events program, and branded merchandise sales. The company's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for readers (free magazine in hotel rooms, free app, free digital edition) and direct-to-advertiser for revenue (B2B media sales through Greenspun Media Group).

Direct peers

• Time Out: Time Out is a global city-guide media brand covering dining, nightlife, entertainment, and things to do. Its Las Vegas and other city editions directly overlap with Las Vegas Magazine's editorial scope (entertainment, dining, nightlife) and advertiser base, although Time Out is digital-first and global.
• Where Magazine: Where Magazine (now Where Traveler) is a longstanding in-room hotel city magazine distributed in hotels worldwide. It is the closest functional peer to Las Vegas Magazine — same in-room free distribution model, same advertiser base (restaurants, attractions, hotels), and same audience of in-destination travelers.
• Las Vegas Weekly: Las Vegas Weekly is a sister publication under Greenspun Media Group covering Las Vegas entertainment and nightlife. Despite the shared parent, it competes with Las Vegas Magazine for the same Las Vegas hospitality advertisers and overlapping audiences.
• The Infatuation: The Infatuation is a digital city-guide publication focused on restaurants, bars, and things to do, with strong social and editorial reach. It directly competes with Las Vegas Magazine's dining and nightlife editorial verticals for both readers and advertisers.
• Vegas Inc: Vegas Inc is Greenspun Media Group's Las Vegas business news publication. It targets a more B2B-oriented Las Vegas audience but competes for overlapping Las Vegas hospitality advertiser spend.
• Las Vegas Sun: Las Vegas Sun is the legacy daily news publication under Greenspun Media Group. It overlaps with Las Vegas Magazine for Las Vegas hospitality advertising dollars and shares the same parent company's sales infrastructure.
• AFAR Media: AFAR is a travel media brand covering destinations, dining, and local experiences. It targets similar experiential traveler audiences as Las Vegas Magazine, with comparable advertising verticals (hotels, restaurants, attractions).

Broad incumbents

• Travel + Leisure: Travel + Leisure is a large national travel magazine and website covering destinations, hotels, dining, and attractions. It competes for the same Las Vegas hospitality advertiser dollars at a national scale, but serves a pre-trip planning audience rather than in-destination visitors.
• Condé Nast Traveler: Condé Nast Traveler is a global premium travel publication covering destinations, hotels, restaurants, and culture. It overlaps with Las Vegas Magazine for advertisers seeking affluent Las Vegas visitors and competes for travel content attention.

Emerging players

• Thrillist: Thrillist is a digital media brand focused on food, travel, and entertainment for younger audiences. It covers Las Vegas among many destinations and competes for the same restaurant, nightlife, and attraction advertisers as Las Vegas Magazine, with a heavier digital/social tilt.
