New Directories - Along With DexKnows.com - Provide Updated Information on Thousands of Local Businesses LAS VEGAS, Dec. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- From the Strip to Summerlin, Las Vegas residents no longer need to roll the dice to find information on the right local businesses for their needs. That's because the January 2009 Las Vegas EMBARQ(R) Yellow Pages Brought to You by Dex are now being delivered throughout the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The directories - as well as DexKnows.com(TM), Dex's online local search site - provide updated information on thousands of area businesses, as well as local area maps, coupons, details on some of Vegas' hottest shopping areas, and more. "Things change quickly in Las Vegas, and the EMBARQ(R) Yellow Pages Brought to You by Dex is a reliable resource that residents and visitors alike can turn to in order to find the latest information about Las Vegas businesses," said John White, regional marketing manager, Dex. "These directories, combined with the information and features on DexKnows.com, provide consumers with all the information they need to identify the businesses and community resources that are right for them." Included within the new print directories is an updated Community Pages section. This section features information on cultural and sporting locations, hotels, shopping centers, local parks and recreation, and more. One change residents will notice with this year's directory distribution is that the EMBARQ(R) Residential White Pages are not being issued with the Yellow Pages. Dex will distribute the 2009 Las Vegas EMBARQ(R) Residential White Pages in April as opposed to January. In the meantime, Las Vegas residents can refer to the 2008 edition or log onto DexKnows.com for residential listings.
