Narrative:

Received multiple vectors from approach in speed and altitude. Last instruction was verified by both pilots and read back as 2000 ft. Upon leveling off at assigned altitude; approach advised us of low altitude alert. Altitude was immediately corrected to 2500 ft. Even when being vectored in VMC; always have the sa to verify that if issued a lower altitude than published; I should always inquire!
