When the women's tennis team and I arrived in Las Vegas last week, the first that came to mind was my Mythology class. The slogan, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", has found its way into pop culture, everyday speech, almost every TV show about Vegas, not to mention many ads for strip clubs. This may be short but extremely effective and is becoming a bit of a myth itself. Here's the reality, not everything that happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... That doesn't necessarily mean that things will come back to haunt you, but it does mean that if you get married here, it is a legal marriage everywhere in the world (some paperwork required for abroad), and not just in Vegas. If you get a DUI in Vegas, that record will not stay in Vegas, either, even if you would like it to. And if you are a celebrity, you can pretty much guarantee that any crazy antics you pull while here will definitely be reported outside Vegas.
We took a walk down the Strip of Vegas one night after dinner. Vegas is also known for their luxurious hotels and casinos, so we had to check at least a couple of them out. New York-New York, Luxor, Bellagio, MGM, Monte Carlo, Caesars Palace! The name Caesars Palace came to be as the owner thought it would evoke thoughts of royalty because of the Roman general Julius Caesar. Guests of this hotel should feel as if they are in a King's home. Note that it is called Caesars not Caesar's because every guest of this hotel is a Caesar.
