Vegas Inc. magazine launches Monday

Vegas Inc., a new weekly magazine covering business in Las Vegas, will publish its first issue on Monday.

The magazine is from the parent company of the Las Vegas Sun newspaper, and it replaces In Business Las Vegas, a weekly newspaper.

A story on its site states, “The publication, which will have the distinctive character of a magazine as opposed to a newspaper tabloid, will feature stories, columns, polls, interviews and profiles relevant to corporate executives, managers and entrepreneurs, reflecting on the region’s progress in emerging from the recession and mapping its future.

“‘The in-depth news that was published in In Business will find a new home in VEGAS INC, which will also provide comprehensive coverage, longer-form stories and a creative design that will appeal to busy executives and business owners who rely on their BlackBerrys and iPhones for news and information,’ VEGAS INC Editor-in-Chief Richard Pérez-Feria said. ‘It will not only stand unique among the business publications in this region, but will hold its own against the very best in the country.’

“Pérez-Feria, who brings to Las Vegas a successful history editing and publishing award-winning magazines in New York, Miami and San Francisco, will be assisted by an expanded editorial staff, including the In Business team of journalists as well as other Greenspun Media Group writers.”
