What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!! - Cross your fingers and hope your secrets won't ever get out!
Las Vegas被称为sin city（罪恶之城），位在内华达州里的沙漠城市，是成人版的Disneyland。进入Vegas就像走入另一个世界，一个令人着迷的世界，美食、美酒、豪华不已的饭店、令人眼花撩乱的秀、灯光闪烁的赌场。好莱坞多少明星在那闪电结婚又离婚？多少电影以它为主题？一个充满故事性、戏剧性的城市，它的魅力无人能挡。这个沙漠中的海市蜃楼能让人暂时忘却现实，暂时跳入另一个角色里，做出疯狂举动，因为这一切就是一场叫做Vegas的戏。
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas大概最能够形容拉斯维加斯的一句话。赌博、酒店、大型歌舞秀、购物商场、高级跑车、召妓、烟火、水舞、超大型饭店、吃角子老虎、数不清的赌客，这就是Las Vegas。Las Vegas纵容一切行为，但离开了就当作没有这件事，把这些都留在拉斯维加斯吧。
Cross your fingers是一个美国迷信的做法，希望把两只手指头交叉可以让自己心想事成，这句说法美国人时常用。
Example: I don't know what I will get for my birthday, but I am crossing my fingers that it will be an iPhone.
Guess what? Las Vegas names itself as "The Entertainment Capital of the World." Don't ever doubt it! This desert oasis is truly the place that takes you out of your real world and into a fantasy world. Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city for gambling, shopping, fine dining, and entertainment. You can be wearing the most luxurious designer clothes and sipping a glass of Louis XIII de Remy Martin while gambling at the prestigious Bellagio. Or you can be having dinner at the renowned Tao restaurant and later on partying at the Pure club in Caesars Palace with Paris Hilton. Even better, you can be watching the most unforgettable Cirque du Soleil O show and enjoying the rest of the night walking down the strip. In the daytime, just relax by the pool and enjoy a glass of Margarita while waiting for the sun to go down. And yet another fun night begins. The city never sleeps. It's the place to be if you're ready for some real fun! So, next time you are in Vegas, remember- "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!"
Guess what: 你知道吗？
Example: Guess what? I just went to see Avatar and loved it!
The place to be: 一定要去的地方
Example: Taiwan is the place to be if you want to taste some delicious local dishes.
The city never sleeps: 不夜城
Example: Taipei is a city that never sleeps. Therefore, you can always find something to do 24/7.
在Vegas有一些字你不可不知，它看起来有点面熟，但拼凑起来却好像又不是太知道它的意思。
Casino:
The term "Casino" is of Italian origin, the root word being "Casa" (house.) The word changed to refer to a building built for pleasure, usually for dancing, music listening and gambling.
这个字其实是源自于义大利文的房子，之后的意思变成为一个专为娱乐（通常是跳舞听音乐或赌博）而建立的场所，在Las Vegas里也就是所谓的赌场。
High Roller:
A high roller is a gambler who wagers large amounts of money. High rollers often receive lavish "perks" from casinos to lure them onto the gambling floors, such as free private jet transfers, limousine use and use of the casinos' best suites.
High Roller是形容在赌场里出手阔气的赌客，通常赌场都会派出私人专机、加长型礼车和提供饭店里最好的套房来诱惑这些赌客们去他们的赌场豪赌一翻。
Slot Machine:
A slot machine is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed. It is the most commonly seen gambling machine in Las Vegas. But you have to be over 21 to even get near the machines or any kind of gambling forms.
它是我们俗称吃角子老虎的机器，在Las Vegas处处可见，从机场就可开始看到它们的存在，但要记得，法律规定要年满21岁才可以赌博喔!在美国，他们可是非常严格执行规定！
