Las Vegas, baby. Las Vegas! They were not lying: what happens in Vegas ... stays in Vegas!
How many times have you heard these phrases? Well, we agree - that are both very overstated. But really a great experience in Las Vegas. Briefly: Las Vegas is the control of their husbands, wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc. at the door and cut you loose from all moral concerns, conscience. This is the place where everyone seems to think that "anything goes" - and usually no! People actually do enjoy pretending they are someone else. Even the most conservative woman in your office will allow your hair and give in to one night - is in Las Vegas, after all!
With all those poker faces and bluffs in the casino scene, everyone thinks that someone else long after leaving the tables.
Vegas is a place to act as the friend who always tells the best stories. It is a place to be beyond her bedtime, playing their entire paycheck, just act crazy or do things that always dares to do in the real world. "It's a place where you're supposed to get into trouble and mixing things up. It is a city of bling-bling and dreams - cause you never know when your luck is going to catch fire.
Somehow, despite all this craziness just nonsense, Vegas is still a city big enough to offer plenty of options for alterna-yuppie couples too. You can get all clean and enjoy a delicious meal or brilliant spectacle. They can run the tables with the best of them and waste away the afternoon in the pool or spa. Things get boring in the bedroom? Try a champagne party, a swanky hotel, part of Las Vegas and will be again as a hare. Just not too much liquor above, can you just wake up the next morning and learned that they got married by Elvis in the little white chapel, with plastic flowers. Class ey? I bet the parents love hearing that one!
