What Is the History of .vegas?
The .vegas domain was applied for by Dot Vegas, Inc. in 2007 and received formal support from the City of Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and other local entities. ICANN delegated the TLD to the Root Zone on March 31, 2014. Although initially proposed as a geographic TLD, ICANN’s Geographic Names Panel later concluded that 'Vegas' does not qualify as a geographic area under its formal definition. Despite this, the domain was approved and launched with a unique policy allowing the registry to intervene in cases of harmful activity to protect the Las Vegas brand.
