Narrative:

Upon departure from las on the oveto 3 departure I began a right hand turn at 4 DME. The departure controller gave us a left turn to 150 degrees. We questioned it and were informed that we had been cleared on the aaces 1 departure. I told the controller that our pre departure clearance said oveto 3. He went to check the tapes and then remarked that it was a clerical error from the clearance delivery. We apologized and he said no problem. We had only turned about 20 degrees when we got the turn back to 150 degrees. Upon closer inspection I noted the small print said aaces 1.
