Narrative:
During descent transition the departure airport ATIS was referenced instead of the arrival airport ATIS resulting in an incorrect altimeter setting on approach. The flight accomplished a visual approach to runway 25L as cleared by ATC. Radio navigation of the ILS was tuned and monitored as backup navigation. During the approach the pilots noticed an incorrect or absent automatic altimeter calls outs. The first officer made the calls in substitution. After block in and investigation we found out error.this was a factor of not reading the ATIS carefully enough and an absence of ATC to pilot verification of ATIS.
