I know flair held a modified tag belt after he sent the wcw title back, but wasn't there another belt before the modified tag belt?

This was from a site called belttalk, with the history of the Big Gold, and this is the entry they have for the Vegas belt.
Another belt sometimes confused with the original, is referred to the “Vegas” Big Gold. It was introduced by Ric Flair doing a promo in a casino referring to himself as the “real world’s champion”. This belt was used on WWF programming while WCW sued Ric Flair to get the original belt back. This was due to Flair and Bobby Heenan using the belt on WWF programming. WCW received the original Big Gold back after the lawsuit and Flair received his deposit back. In those days, the champion had to put a deposit on the belt for various reasons. WWF had the “Vegas” Big Gold created by Reggie Parks during this legal battle. For a few weeks while this new belt was being made, Flair used an old WWF tag team belt in place of the Big Gold. In Ric Flair’s book, he mentioned giving Triple H a belt, saying he wished he could have dropped it to him a decade ago. Many people believe he is referring to the “Vegas” Big Gold belt, despite what many casual fans assume is the original Big Gold or original Domed Globe. Part of the WCW lawsuit settlement was that WWF could not use a similar looking belt either which is why the “Vegas” Big Gold did not last long.

I saw the Vegas belt at a house show. It looked cool in person.

I'm glad Flair never got the chance to drop the belt to HHH.

I personally like the never designed original version of the Big Gold belt. Something about those NWA letters that just looked awesome
