"Vegas, baby!"

Anybody who knows me... wait, scratch that. Anybody who has talked to me more than 10 minutes knows that my #1 obsession and favorite place in the whole world is Las Vegas.


Now, why do we say "Vegas, baby" ? Explanation right here:


The expression came from an old TV commercial for an now defunct discount organization called "Players Club". In the commercial, a popular TV personality, Telly Savalis (he played a tough detective named "Kojak" on a TV show by the same name) and part of his pitch was to explain where the Players Club card could be used. He said, "Its Vegas, Baby". It was a play on an expression he always used as detective Kojak. He would often say, "Who loves ya, Baby?"So, a lot of people started saying it then and still say it today but few remember the origin of it.


Interesting, right? Well there you have it baby.
