VEGAS SEVEN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER LAUNCHES IN LAS VEGAS

LAS VEGAS – Vegas Seven, an innovative and unique weekly newspaper covering all things Las Vegas from dining and entertainment to politics and profiles will make its official debut on Thursday, February 4. Conceived by Las Vegas-based WENDOH Media Companies, Vegas Seven will merge lifestyle with hard news into one publication that is unlike any other print medium.

"Vegas Seven was in development for years to perfect an efficient, visually engaging weekly newspaper that provides all of the news and information dynamic, socially active people are looking for," said Ryan Doherty, co-founder and partner of Vegas Seven. "Whether readers are looking for a quick reference or fascinating, in-depth profiles, Vegas Seven will become the trusted news source for Las Vegas residents and visitors alike."

Each issue of Vegas Seven will feature content on a vast array of subjects such as arts and entertainment, local, national and international news, dining, community affairs, sports, gaming, style, environmental causes and initiatives, music, architecture and more. Merging the print publication with strong online, social media and mobile technology features, Vegas Seven will encompass all aspects of traditional and new media. Vegas Seven will also be the first Las Vegas-based publication to incorporate 2D bar-coding, a revolutionary, interactive system that provides readers with instant access to continued editorial and advertorial information through capturing an image with a mobile phone.

"With Vegas Seven, we wanted to give locals a one-of-a-kind publication with a fresh approach to news and information," said Justin Weniger, co-founder and partner of Vegas Seven. "It is our goal to ensure Vegas Seven becomes the must-read weekly newspaper in Las Vegas and to provide our readers with exceptional content. In addition, Vegas Seven will expand WENDOH Media's presence in the publishing and media industries and allow us to widen our reach locally and nationally."

Vegas Seven seeks to capture and engage readers with highly visual pages featuring captivating art and design elements to go along with equally impressive, informative and entertaining writing. Along with a variety of editorial pieces and local information on WeeklySeven.com, Vegas Seven will offer up-to-the-minute information and breaking news. Providing a go-to guide for Las Vegas' stacked entertainment line-up, Vegas Seven will contain a broad spectrum of on-and-off-the-Strip events, supplying something of interest for everyone in the community. With a number of highly-skilled staff photographers scouring the Strip, Vegas Seven will feature photographs readers won't find anywhere else.

Setting itself apart from other publications, each issue of Vegas Seven will be comprised of three different paper stocks: standard, salmon-hued and glossy-finished paper, allowing the reader to easily locate specific sections. Vegas Seven will blanket the city with 62,000 copies being distributed every Thursday at a number of locations around the Las Vegas area and surrounding suburbs.

WENDOH Media was founded by Ryan Doherty and Justin Weniger, who began their careers in the nightlife industry and have gone on to expand their enterprise with a wide range of companies. The duo launched their first venture, Las Vegas Printing Press, in 2003, and have since developed a portfolio of businesses under the WENDOH Media umbrella. In July of 2005, Doherty and Weniger saw the opportunity to partner with up-and-coming 944 Magazine and launch the publication in the company's then third market, Las Vegas. WENDOH Media, along with Marc Lotenberg, founder and CEO of 944 Media, have cultivated 944 Magazine's Las Vegas edition into a must-read lifestyle magazine and propelled the publication to expand in several additional cities across the country. On Feb. 4, WENDOH Media will launch Vegas Seven, an innovative and unique weekly newspaper covering a vast array of topics from dining and entertainment to politics and profiles. Currently, WENDOH Media is comprised of the widely popular nightlife website and events company SpyOnVegas.com, eco-friendly printing facility Environmental Ink, VIP nightlife concierge Vegas Passport, Las Vegas nightlife and entertainment blog DailyFiasco.com, 944 Magazine, Vegas Seven and CIRQUE Magazine.
