C'mon, can it really stay in Vegas?
Of course you've heard the now infamous, and intriguing, phrase: "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Makes you want to escape to Vegas just to get away with doing something naughty, doesn't it? But that's only true if you plead, and remain faithful, to the fifth. You can't come home from Vegas and then sit around contemplating if you should confess. You just have to keep your mouth shut to make the expression a reality.
Consider this situation...
A bunch of twenty-something girlfriends go to Vegas. Half of the girls have boyfriends. While in Vegas, the girl group meets a twenty-something guy group and they hit it off. Yes, just as friends, nothing more. Promise. Really, I promise. Get your mind out of the gutter.
Anyway, they hang out during the vacation, have tons of fun, laughs, and drinks. At vacation-end, they all exchange contact info, and go home to their respective states.
A few weeks later, the guys call the girls, inviting them to visit a few states away, where the guys live. The guys were fun and friendly, so the girls agree to go. Why not, right?
Suddenly, though, Vegas is no longer staying in Vegas, contrary to the popular motto. So, one of the "attached" girls, Amber, develops a conscience - apparently because the Vegas locale can’t protect her anymore – and tells her boyfriend of the harmless plan to visit the guys. As you can imagine, he gets extremely upset and accuses her of wanting to cheat. Basically, he flips out. But, can you blame him?
After witnessing the catastrophe of her friend, one of the other girls, Mandy, ponders the decision of telling her own boyfriend, Tim, of the intended visit. One option is to be honest and dish the details, alleviating her guilty conscience. However, Mandy is predicting a displeased reaction (to say the least) and wants to avoid upsetting her beau and having him worry while she's away. So maybe she should keep quiet.
If what happens in Vegas really stays in Vegas, should Mandy keep secret this visit to the new guy friends? At least she would spare her boyfriend's feelings.
Or should the innocent, friendly trip – yes, I’m still sticking to the just friends and nothing more – spill into the confession zone? Does Tim need to know every time Mandy visits friends, whether they're male or female? Whether they met in Vegas or a local bar?
Ok, so maybe we know the most moral and ethical thing to do. The question is, what would you do in this situation?

Give me a break! What stays in Vegas, um, stays ARBITRARY! But I have to agree - keeping it real is the best way to avoid any "lapses in judgment" or at least be open and honest with your partner about what you are about to do, so that there won't be any secrets. Besides this creates a healthy relationship with him/her.
We've all been burned. We feel "alive" when we venture into naughty territory, but is it all worth it? "It happened one night." What if you really, really love this person?
