Bris VegasBris Vegas was originally a derogatory term employed by southern-Australians, in particular, to deride the apparent tackiness and unsophisticatedness of the northern city of Brisbane, Queensland. Though it is still used in this sense, more recently, however, the term has been adopted by Brisbanites as an endearing soubriquet for the city in which they reside. In this later sense, the term represents Brisbanes new-found vibrancy and active night-life as it continues to absorb migrants, both inter-state and foreign, exponentially as Australias fastest growing capital.
