We've all heard the title slogan before. Hell, if you've been to Vegas you've probably uttered those words atleast once yourself.
What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas
It is one heck of a marketing tagline.
It promotes exactly what the merchants in the town want - people throwing caution to the wind.
Spending that money, going to that show, placing that big bet, hitting that strip club, doing bottle service at the dance club and on and on.
Las Vegas = Vacation Fun. In fact, I just got back. Now I just need a full day to recover. hahaha. I've been many times of the past 10 years and honestly, for all the fun we have and I see others have there is an ugly side to that dynamic of whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
Because here's the thing.....
What happens in Vegas still happened!
Many I'm too old fashioned. Maybe monogamy is dying and marriage does not mean a monogamous commitment anymore. I don't know, but the level of infidelity I see each trip seems to increase with each passing visit.
The most interesting thing I have noticed over the years is that the women are as bad as the men now. In fact, they may be getting worse.
Not Even Hiding Rings
Cannot even tell you the number of married women we interacted with. They rock their rings front and center, but act like one isn't on their hand.
I personally will never mess around with a married women. Sadly, I had two opportunities to do so in just a 3 day weekend trip.
That is not said to brag. I certainly have never been accused of being a ladies man, but I am lucky enough to have some rhythm on the dance floor so for a women that likes to dance, well - I just may get their attention.
And that is what happened both nights I went out!
The first night I found me a dance partner, mixed in a little conversation and was attracted to the women. However, I checked that left ring finger and sure enough there it was. Casually brought it up to verify if she was actually married and found now resistance receiving confirmation. Basically I was told- "it's not a big deal."
So clearly her suggesting we "get out of there together" was not an issue. To which I shook my head, smirked and told her it was nice meeting her.
That same scenario pretty much played out the next night. Different dance club, different girl. Same reaction of me shaking my head. Oh, and neither of the them were "working girls" if that happened to cross your mind.
Anyway, I probably sound like a party pooper and considering my one buddy calls me the "human party favor" you would think I'm down for whatever, but there are certain things I believe you just shouldn't do.
People Love Strange
If you've heard the saying then you know that for some reason people want a different piece of ass then what's at home - apparently Vegas is the #1 tourist destination for it.
In the end - To each their own.
People can do whatever they like, it's their life. Just don't expect me to participate in certain things, even if I really am a human party favor! hahaha :-)
Me - I go to play craps (I swear I'm gonna roll that fire bet next trip!) and party with my buddies I don't get to see often anymore.
Vegas Baby!

Great post! That is sad that our society values marriage so little... I hope that you just found a couple easy targets and the human race in general is not trending in this direction...
Thanks for sharing though! I nominated you for Project Curie :)

Good for you! It's great to see someone with morals that can still have fun!
I'm married but can't wear my wedding ring on my left hand (damaged ligaments mean two fingers are permanently, if slightly bent) BUT I know I'm married and to me, it IS a big deal <3

Agree, good for you! Yes, the moral compass seems to point due south in Vegas. Proud I can wild out and still have morals :-)
