In 2002, I wrote the original “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” campaign with a former partner, at agency R&R Partners. It’s one of the most famous ad lines ever. In 2023, we celebrated a 20th anniversary, and have a chapter in James Patterson’s 2024 book, ‘What Really Happens in Vegas.’ I was also honored at the University of Colorado commencement speech alongside Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and South Park creators Trey Parker & Matt Stone, for cementing my place in Buffs history with the Vegas tagline.
