LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas will be playing for attention in a place it once was banned when tourism officials roll out an ad featuring an updated “What happens, only happens here” slogan during the run-up to the NFL Super Bowl on Sunday.
A publicity blitz surrounding the new phrase was toned down last week following the death of basketball star Kobe Bryant and others in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles.
The 30-second spot updates a “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” campaign.
