“Casino” is an Italian word meaning “small house.” That’s why you hear people say, “The house always wins.” It doesn’t, or nobody would gamble, but they say it anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThere’s a cost, of course: It’s estimated 30-60% of total gambling revenue is derived from problem gamblers.<\/p>\n
Can you have fun in a casino knowing those things? Sure. Just see through the lie of casinos being “committed to responsible gaming.” It’s lip service. They’re committed to extracting money from our bank accounts, and they’re really good at it.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas Lie #11: What happens here, stays here.<\/strong><\/p>\nIt’s not just a catchy slogan, it’s a promise.<\/p>\n
Shockingly, 66% of Las Vegas visitors in a recent poll (taken by this very Las Vegas blog, as a matter of fact) believe that famous tourism tagline is true.<\/p>\n

Beyond everyone on the planet having a smartphone with a camera, there are credit card receipts, security cameras, browser histories, the list goes on and on.<\/p>\nTruth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe “what happens here, stays here” mentality is a romantic one if you’re looking to misbehave in Sin City, but realize the reality is that your lapses in judgement are likely to live in perpetuity on the Internet and beyond. Just ask Prince Harry.<\/p>\n
