I first heard "Manch Vegas" when I was working at Center of NH. The coffee shop (Rachel's?) had it on the side of his van. I don't know about the underground betting part, but I think it was originally about how there was nothing to do, but now has grown in popularity with the Arena and the Ball Park bringing A-list acts (Aerosmith, Bob Dylan). I wished they'd used the term during the West Wing, as Bartlet was from Manchester.

The Union Leader is evil...but I heard ManchVegas nonstop growing up there....it was an inside joke about how the state's largest city had nothing to do.

The nickname "Manchvegas" was popularized by Union Leader Columnist and author John Clayton. It is probably derived from all the underground betting that was always an open secret in town.
