    As a born-and-bred resident of Vegas who lived through the late 90's attempt at making the 702 a family destination, I can safely say that the city is far more palatable when you don't have to stumble over children in order to blow high-grade yayo off a Cristal-sedated white tiger. Ah, home.

    The "What Happens Here" campaign nods to Las Vegas's reputation as a party town where visitors can enjoy some forbidden fun, or indulge in extreme behavior like conspicuous consumption. But a little more than a year ago, as the economy soured and visits to Las Vegas began to taper off, the city tried to adjust its image to something more in keeping with the prevailing mood of thrift.

    Marketers ginned up messages touting the city's affordability, suggesting that Las Vegas was just the place for hard-working people to get some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Last year, they used residents of tiny Cranfills Gap, Texas, in a campaign showing mostly blue-collar Americans enjoying Las Vegas activities like indoor skydiving.

    Wait, Hamno, how is this new? The "What Happens" campaign has been in force for a couple of years. The city abandoned the family angle almost 8 years ago.

    That ad sucks. Additionally, that might be the smallest pool outside of an out-of-ground on someone's front lawn in the Ozarks.

    @SpicyMeatball: To be fair, that's one of two pools they have at Bare and really; one doesn't go to Bare for the pool, one goes to Bare for the topless bathing and club atmosphere.

    @iplaudius: True story: Back in the early 90's, I stayed at a hotel in downtown LV next to the Golden Nugget. The place was not exactly shady, but surprised was I when the doorman/check-in guy actually said to me, "If you need broads or blow, just dial 0."


    It felt like that scene from Highlander.

    I really wish the whole "What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas" referred to the whole foreclosure tsunami there and not hookers. Because honestly, hookers are always a great time... well, unless you're Spitzer. Or Hugh Grant. Or if the hooker was Eileen Wormus.


    ...Forget I said anything.

    I call bullshit on the hookers. The most popular thing in Vegas, next to the slots, is those gigantic, cheap buffets. Maybe they should just show videos of old people filling up on lasagna.

    That's an armadillo, and the thought is based on an allegation about Frank Sinatra in his younger years, though in his case it allegedly involved eggs.

    @cdmunch: I was there recently, and the buffets are really not that cheap. I used to have this idea that in Vegas at least *something* would be cheap, sort of a loss leader, be it drinks, food, or lodging. It doesn't seem so any longer; everything there is a profit center.
