You buying it in Spanish or in English?

I am still going to call it five Vegas.

I prefer to buy in English whenever possible.

I've just noticed that on sites like CI, they actually note next to the title (pronounced cinco vegas).

This is what I had in mind when I posted.

Scroll up: Dark Jester found out his local B&M was owned by Dion Giolito and asked him. Apparently, it's pronounced just like illusion.

Yeah, confirmed it with them on Friday. Dion himself wasn't in the store at the time, but the person that runs the shop when he's out confirmed it's just 'Eh Loo-Zee-Own'. (Actually, Might be better like 'Eh-Loo-She-Un')

I'll confirm with Dion himself next time I catch him in store. Will probably be this week sometime. I guess there is a slim change the person he leaves in charge might be clueless.

I stand corrected. Illusion (as in optical illusion) is pronounced "ill-oo-jhun".

Me fail English? Unpossible.

So, apparently the stand-in store clerk was mistaken. Talked to Dion himself a bit ago and he said it's "Eh-Loo-She-Own-Ay", kindof with an italian accent on it. From the owner's mouth, that's difinitive enough for me. Told him he needs to set the other guy straight.

That's what I figured initially, with a name like Giolito. Thanks for following up.

I would hope so as far as the Italian accent part.
Illusion in Spanish is spelled the very same way as in English, just pronounced a bit differently.
Illusione as it is spelled for the brand is the Italian version of the word Illusion.

Now let's get back to this link and how badly it pronounces "Hijo de Puta".
I think it is shameful.

My spanish is a bit rusty (meaning it's been like 15 years since my spanish class in High School), but isn't 'Puta' a swear word in spanish? Means something like ***** (Female Reproductive Organ)?

Edit: Nevermind, looked it up on urban dictionary. Still don't know that I want to smoke something called that.
