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.

It conveys a sense of freedom, privacy, and discretion regarding one's actions and experiences while visiting Las Vegas.
