Las Vegas: Rejected Slogans
I don’t gamble. I don’t drink alcohol. I’m faithful to my wife. If I stay up too late, Adult Swim has something to do with it. My idea of a vacation is to stay home for half of it to work on the house, then go to a place of natural beauty for the rest of it. So the “What Happens in Vegas… Stays in Vegas.” ad campaign isn’t targeted to me. However, I thought the ads were cute at first.
After awhile though they start seem sleazy, don’t they? Today I saw an ad at a bus stop that read “We did it until we dropped. (Shopping can be your alibi).”
I suppose “I did it until I caught the clap” while truthful just doesn’t resonate as well. Neither does “I got so drunk I puked on the carpet after I lost my 401K at Blackjack and passed out.” – Accurate but just doesn’t have that naughty vibe to it…
or
Las Vegas: About as attractive as a coke whore in a dimly lit bar after 15 shots of Jaegermeister. – Too accurate. Way too accurate.
ditto this one:
Las Vegas: All 12 Step Programs Begin Here; Come and Learn Why That’s similar to this one:
“My name is __ and I’m a ____.” Come to Las Vegas and Fill in the ‘Blanks’.
Las Vegas: The World’s Largest BF Skinner Experiment - appeals to the logical minded. It would probably work on most college campuses – at least, those that actually teach something.
Las Vegas: What God Practiced on Saddam & Gomorrah For – nice Biblical ring. Might work with the Jewish crowd.
