    Besides VMB, of course, which is awesome!

    I am too cheap to pay for an on-line subscription to the LVRJ. I read a lot on the forums who also make reference to other articles such as Vital Vegas, Las Vegas Advisor, etc. which I then check out.

    The Nevada Independent is doing great work as a free (please donate!!) source for Nevada news. People who remember the pre-Sheldon LVRJ will recognize names like Jon Ralston and John L Smith. And many of their young reporters are doing amazing work on a shoestring.

    They don't. Although they maintain separate websites, the Sun is an insert in the print version of the RJ.

    Mostly I get it here... tell you the truth I think I get Vegas news faster here then news paper.

    I hate to bring it up - but few years ago when shooting occurred I was already on VMB page and ppl whom were at Vegas .. posting live and Was very informative. As I recall blondewalsh (I cant recall VMB members name but she’s here lots of times and you guys know who she is, I believe she’s from Britain) was at Vegas and she was posting lively what was going on.

    I watch local Las Vegas news stations to keep track of what's happening in Vegas daily. I also visually watch the live webcams of the Strip. Been doing this since the 80's.

    Strictly VMB.
    If it's not on VMB, it's probably not worth knowing about.

    I've never encountered a pay-wall when reading LVRJ articles (yet).

    I just look in occasionally on the MyVegas site. Seems pretty calm with those people walking up and down the Strip and the traffic flow. Never see any police or fire equipment responding so it must be pretty safe there! That's all the news I need right there!!

    VMB of course, and LVRJ, but not that often.
