Record-Journal relaunching business newsletter with new features

The Las Vegas Review-Journal plans to relaunch its business news newsletter next week with new features.

A story on its website states, “The digital newsletter known as Your Business Update will become Business Brief, offering important, timely Las Vegas Valley business news in a new, engaging format similar to our popular morning newsletter, Starting Point.

“Existing business newsletter subscribers will receive the new version automatically. If you’re not already a regular reader, you can sign up at reviewjournal.com/newsletters.

“New features include a market watch section that also highlights publicly traded companies with a significant presence in the Las Vegas Valley, such as Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International. Also on the way: more in-depth coverage into the valley’s red hot housing market; our new Q&A feature Talking Points; and a section alerting readers to upcoming conventions and trade shows.

“Subscribers will still receive the latest business news — gaming and tourism, new businesses, real estate and more — from our award-winning team of reporters and editors.”
