Meaning & Story

Vegas is a short form of Las Vegas, Nevada — from the Spanish 'las vegas' meaning 'the meadows.' The city's reputation for energy, spectacle, and round-the-clock excitement has made it an evocative name for pets with a big, flashy personality.

Vegas is a name for a pet who does nothing halfway. The city is synonymous with big lights, big energy, and an infectious sense that something exciting is always about to happen — which describes a certain type of pet perfectly. It suits a high-energy, attention-loving dog who is the life of every party and never seems to get tired. The meadows origin meaning is a charming contrast to the neon-and-slot-machines associations, suggesting there is depth beneath the spectacle.
