Scott Dickensheets

Currently editor in chief of the Las Vegas Weekly, Scott has previously served Greenspun Media Group as interim editor of Las Vegas Life magazine, as well as that magazine’s managing editor, senior editor and staff writer. Before that he was an editor and columnist for the Las Vegas Sun. Outside the Greenspun companies he has been a publicist and editor for the (now defunct) Allied Arts Council of Southern Nevada and special projects editor of Las Vegas CityLife. His freelance writing has appeared in Esquire, Playboy and numerous other publications. Favorite album: “Electric Rosary,” by The Living Daylights. Says Scott, “If some jazz intellectual with a Ph.D in Being Better Than Everyone Else sniffs that ‘Electric Rosary’ is ‘smooth jazz,’ just before you snap his turtled neck by yanking his goatee sideways, be sure to look him in his wire-rimmed eyes and say, ‘Yeah, so?’ In any case, it’s not smooth---it’s avant-smooth, and that makes all the difference.”
