what happens in vegas	The 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 1 year ago
