what happens in vegasThe phrase "What happens in Vegas" is a well-known tagline associated with Las Vegas, a popular city in Nevada, United States, renowned for its vibrant entertainment, casinos, nightlife, and various forms of adult-oriented entertainment. The phrase implies that Las Vegas is a place where people can engage in activities and experiences that may be considered unconventional, exciting, or indulgent, without judgment or consequences following them outside of the city. It conveys a sense of freedom, privacy, and discretion regarding one's actions and experiences while visiting Las Vegas. However, it's important to remember that responsible behavior and adherence to legal and ethical standards should always be maintained, even in a city known for its entertainment and lively atmosphere.added

sell in may and go away"Sell in May and go away" is a popular adage or saying in the stock market that suggests investors should sell their stocks or investments in May and stay out of the market until the end of October. The idea behind this saying is that the stock market tends to experience weaker performance during the summer months, particularly from May to October. This pattern is often attributed to factors such as reduced trading activity, lower corporate earnings reports, or investors' vacation periods.added
