This week, Ira Sternberg spoke with Melinda Sheckels, editorial director of OnTheStrip com and OffTheStrip com. In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Sheckells talks about her reporting and editing career in Las Vegas; switching her beat from housing to nightlife and entertainment; how the city is gearing up for the post COVID world; why she thrives on news and the fact that there’s no “off” switch in Las Vegas; how OnTheStrip com and OffTheStrip com became two of Las Vegas’ first all-digital news sources; the future success here in sports and live events; how social media has changed the way that visitors look at the city; and her favorite Las Vegas experience.

Melinda Sheckells is an award-winning editor, writer and content producer and Editorial Director of OffTheStrip.com and OnTheStrip.com.
