Spanish: the adjective and noun senses referring to a person who comes from Las Vegas. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 00:55, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- vegano refers to a person who comes from La Vega (Dominican Republic). The word for a person who comes from Las Vegas is veguense. These words are not widely known, and it would be natural for someone to "invent" the term vegano on the fly for someone from Las Vegas. I would consider it incorrect, but I know that some people will say it. —Stephen (Talk) 01:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- The confusion is wider than that. The entry for English vegan says it means someone from Vega. Sense "someone from Las Vegas" is not mentioned. Thus, the disputed sense might be incorrect on two counts, i.e. in Spanish and in English. BTW, if there's an English noun for "someone from Las Vegas" and an adjective for "of, from or relating to Las Vegas", we should link them to the entry for Las Vegas. --Hekaheka (talk) 03:38, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- But there's a mistake there: the entire etymology 2 section of English vegan should be at Vegan with a capital V. —Angr 09:41, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

- We have a GB snippet: "... indiani che proliferano in California, il panorama di Las Vegas, Nevada, si sta ingolfando di ulteriori hotel-colosso. ... l 'Aladdin music project, da altre 1.000 stanze, sarà la volta del grattacielo che lo zar vegano Steve Wynn costruirà al posto ..." from Panorama, Issues 1789-1795, Page 211. google books:"vegano" from las vegas doesn't turn up anything else.--Prosfilaes (talk) 11:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
