Is this going to effect the .vegas extension? What are your thoughts?

Simple answer is no it wont.

Alexa US rank of 3,536, which is pretty serious for a single destination travel site.

The business, not just the domain I guess and maybe associated companies?

Awesome news for .com, thank you! that's why we all should stick to .com.

Congrats on both sides.

Vegas.com, as a business, will continue to increase in value and Dot Vegas (.vegas) is only going to help as it grows: free traffic for Vegas.com!

I'm pretty sure a big portion of this sale was because of the business behind Vegas.com, not just the domain. This is a great sale, but I don't see it having any impact on the other similar extensions such as .vegas, .poker, and .casino..

Man Vegas was a good TV show way back when

LOL

Guess the buyer of vegas.com was willing to roll the dice and take the gamble.

This is a great domain.
