I think this is a relatively recent sobriquet, contrived by the LV Chamber of Commerce to promote the notion that you can indulge every impulse in LV, at least since the gambling casinos became legal after WW2, and "what happens in Vegas" remains a secret.
Chicago was called The WIndy City as early as 1885 but the name stuck when NYC newspapers started calling it that over Chicago's bragging and promotion of its 1893 Columbian Exposition World's Fair. The name refers to Chicago bragging, not to the weather.

As much as I love the city being as as I was born there I'm not sure that this qualifies since Philadelphia translates directly to "City of Brotherly Love"
