Chapter 2: What Happens in Vegas… Well, Not Exactly

You’ve probably heard some stories or told a few of your own about running amok in Las Vegas and then heading home all non-descript but be warned there are limits.

Hollywood’s been pumping out movies about bachelor parties and reunions where the main character ties-one-on in an epic night of debauchery. The star always seems to return home completely unscathed, but don’t be lulled into a false sense of incognito. Las Vegas hotels and casinos have more video cameras in more locations than you can imagine. They’ve seen it all.

Word on the Street is…

Word travels fast in small circles. We’ve all heard stories about a guy or girl passing out in the hotel room with the bath water overflowing. Hey did you hear about….? Becomes commonplace at big events. You don’t have to know the person to join in the discussion.

The truth is people like to talk. You can hardly blame them. Someone screwing up and causing thousands of dollars in damages to a hotel room or nightclub is exactly the kind of incident that could doom an event in the early days.

Social Networking and Debauchery

Someone posted an apology on Facebook. Apparently this person had too much to drink and let off a little too much steam for the travel companions and ended up in jail. Waking-up behind bars bewildered and not remembering anything after attending a show the night before.

From the description posted and the vicious responses it was obvious a whole lot of people were pissed-off. It might have been a better strategy to just let it go instead of publicizing the mistake. Just saying…

Be aware with everyone carrying smart phones word travels fast. If you are one of the poor fools who runs amok in Las Vegas it’s likely you’ll be the talk-of-the-town and beyond. Depending on how crazy a time you have, they could be talking for a long time. The photo of you passed out on the hallway floor with your pants pulled down and a dookie near your hand is sure to go viral.

What could be worse? Video.
