Have you played around with the "Light Rays" filter?

EDIT: I haven't watched the video yet, my work computer isn't liking it.

IF you can do this in Vegas, it would be an insanely laborous & detailed process (masking, keyframing, etc.), and I don't believe it would be quite as robust an effect as they have here.

As Edweirdo said, check out fxhome, or Particle Illusion ... both of which should be able to do that, and do it well.

Otherwise, consider After Effects, though the previously two mentioned products are MUCH less expensive.

It's probably After Effects; I don;t see this being done in Vegas
