History and Background of the .VEGAS Domain

Its use was largely limited to organizations and projects that wanted a clear connection to Las Vegas, especially for tourism, entertainment, and local services.

Why you might not choose .VEGAS

Before choosing a .VEGAS domain, consider clarity, recognition, and long-term fit.

  • Clarity: Some visitors may interpret it as theme-based rather than location-based.
  • Recognition: Some visitors may still default to a .com address.
  • Scope: It may not fit projects that are not connected to Las Vegas.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG. .VEGAS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
