I just went through something similar. Here's how I'll do it next time. Capture each tape whole. Then go through it in the trimer and mark out regions. As you make the regions, also create subclips. Make sure you allow reasonable heads and tails on the subclips because Vegas (quite inconveniently and rather stupidly) Makes the ends of the subclip finite. It's kind of hard to drag them out if you need to.

You can name the subclips as you create them if you make them in the trimmer. Then in the media pool you can add comments.

Finally, consider getting the Veggie Toolkit script package. This thing can help you make logs of your project and recapture the subclips as new clips if you every need to do so.

Much of the time I get logs with the tapes. In that case I can use Veggie toolkit to import the log files and base a capture session on that. That gives me individual files with names created from the logged descriptions. Just goes to show there's more than one way to skin a cat.
