Vegas Wants Its Tagline Back

“Hello, Thoroughbred Owners of California? This is Vegas calling. We want our tagline back!”

“Vegas, this is Thoroughbred Owners of California calling. We didn’t steal your tagline, we just had fun with it. Come on. Can’t you take a joke?”

“Thoroughbred Owners of California, we’re casinos. We never joke. Besides, every one knows ‘what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.’ You can’t tell people ‘sometimes things don’t stay in Vegas.’ It’s just not right.”

“Vegas, what – are you some sort Bermuda Triangle where things enter and never leave?”

“Well, yes, Thoroughbred Owners of California. We do have a lot of dead bodies buried in the desert here but since corporate America bought everything, the body count seems to have dropped. Besides, our only claim to fame now is NBC’s Las Vegas and that damn tagline you’re fucking with!”

“OK, fine, Vegas. After we let the commercials run a few times so RPA creatives, with help from Tool, can enter them into 2,387 award shows, we’ll pull the spots. Fair?”

“Agreed, horse lovers. Otherwise James Caan will be knocking on your door.”

The reason the kindest person you know is also the loneliest isn’t a paradox — it’s a transaction they set up in childhood where they traded being loved for being useful and now they’re fifty-seven and everyone around them adores what they do but nobody has any idea who they actually are
