Las Vegas is The Only Place Where 'What Happens Here, Stays Here'

Visit Las Vegas has tried out a few different ads to woo visitors to Sin City during these rough economic times but what still resonates the best is the "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" catchphrase.

And now Las Vegas is bringing it back, although with a twist. The new ad shows folks around America (in mostly Midwestern settings) trying to apply the "What Happens Here, Stays Here" to other places and events. Like, "What Happens in Billups County, Stays in Billups County" (apparently pigs get awarded blue ribbons) or "What Happens at the Caribou Lodge, Stays at The Caribou Lodge" (the Caribou Lodge is like an Elks Lodge.)

There's also a nervous patient at the doctor's before he gets bent over for an "exam" and two chicks trying to find excitement at a bar in Lincoln (probably Lincoln, Nebraska.) Oh and don't forget the sad man on a bench.

The ad then concludes with the simple tagline "What Happens Here, Stays Here"--a gentle reminder to vacationers that there is no place as exciting as Las Vegas for your next vacation. They don't even need to show an actual shot of Vegas in this new commercial because the public at large already knows how crazy Vegas is. So c'mon, give up those staycation plans already! (That's what we imagine the LVCVA would have liked to add.) The new ads will hit your TV sets on Monday.
