I think that the phrase "Heaven or Las Vegas" arose in a much earlier Cocteau Twins song. Lawrence, the singer of Felt, told the band how much he loved that phrase, in that it's so ambiguous: Is it saying that Las Vegas is heaven or hell or both?
I don't think it was inspired by them going to Las Vegas--at least I've never heard that. Naturally, though, they ended their US tour of that album in Las Vegas.
