The two principal daily newspapers in Las Vegas are the Las Vegas Review-Journal , which is published each morning and features a useful listings supplement, "Neon", on Fridays, and the Las Vegas Sun , which appears every afternoon. They combine for a joint edition on Sundays. City Life , a free "alternative" weekly, is the best source of up-to-date listings, but can be hard to find on the Strip - try the Virgin Megastore in Caesars Palace .

In addition, any number of freesheets and magazines - usually bursting with discount vouchers, plus details of accommodation, buffets, and the latest shows - provide local information. The fortnightly magazine What's On carries the most extensive reviews, while the weekly Today in Las Vegas offers the most accurate entertainment schedules and prices.

Stores in all the casinos sell local newspapers plus USA Today and the major Californian dailies, but for most out-of-town papers you'll need to head to one of the bookstores we've listed.
