The area was named Las Vegas, which is Spanish for "the meadows", as it featured abundant wild grasses, as well as the desert spring waters needed by westward travelers.

Las Vegas means the meadows  in Spanish. It was named as such because of the desert meadows across the valley where Las Vegas is located.

The characters are flat, the dialogue is bad, and the plot is absurd; it fails to build any suspense and therefore lacks the stakes that make a psychological horror film scary. But Terrifier 2 is not a psychological thriller, nor is it pretending to be. And that's why it's fantastic.

To say that Terrifier 2 exceeded profit expectations would be an understatement. The sequel ended up turning overR$11 million at the domestic box office during its original run, andR$15.4 million worldwide.
