'''.vegas''' is a proposed new [[GeoTLD]] to [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD expansion program]], the application was submitted by [[Dot Vegas Inc.]] with the support of the city of Las Vegas. The name was applied for as a [[GeoTLD]], which includes obtaining the respective government support, but ICANN deemed that the term in question does not in fact refer to a geographic area as defined by its standards. The ruling was made by the [[Geographic Names Panel]], and has no necessarily overt, negative repercussions for the application.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/12166-told-you-so-four-new-gtlds-given-geographic-surprise-others-given-a-pass Told You So, Four New gTLDs Given Geographic Surprise Others Given a Pass, DomainIncite.com] Published and Retrieved 7 Mar 2013</ref>
