Las Vegas CityLife, founded in August 1996, was the oldest alternative weekly newspaper in Southern Nevada and covered news about the Las Vegas Valley and surrounding areas. Coverage included news, politics, arts, and culture reporting in print and online formats. The publication is owned by Stephens Media Group but was formerly owned by Wick Communications. Its primary competitors were Las Vegas Weekly (founded in 1998) and Vegas Seven (founded in 2010). Publication ceased on January 30, 2014.
Its editor, Scott Dickensheets, took the position in February 2011 after then-Editor Steve Sebelius returned to the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a political columnist. Former managing editors include Larry Lane, Bill Hughes, Geoff Schumacher, Hugh Jackson, Matthew O'Brien and Steve Sebelius. Former writers include Sarah Jane Woodall, Chad Plummer, Launce Rake, Pj Perez and Heidi Walters. Current writers include: Amy Kingsley, Chip Mosher, George Knapp, and Mike Prevatt. Syndicated columns include Savage Love and Free Will Astrology by Rob Brezsny. Also, from 2004 through 2007, true crime author and freelance journalist Cathy Scott wrote a column for the weekly titled "Crime & Punishment." O'Brien expanded a feature article he wrote in CityLife, about killer TJ Weber who hid out in the storm tunnels before his arrest, into the book Beneath the Neon.
In September 2006, CityLife earned more awards than the other weekly newspapers in the state in the Nevada Press Association's annual Better Newspapers Contest. The NPA has 60 member publications of which 40 are weeklies.
