LAS VEGAS (AP) — What happens in Vegas … doesn’t stay in Vegas. It is a marketing ploy, people. Really.

Oh sure, you’ve seen the commercials, the ones that say anything goes here. Even the straight-laced are seen smoking cheap cigars and playing slots before they’ve left the airport.

But Prince Harry is not alone. Everyone is fair game, especially when cameras are standard equipment on smartphones and Facebook is just a click away.

Note these examples:

— After a September 2010 concert at the Hard Rock’s Wasted Space nightclub, a bathroom attendant noticed Bruno Mars was taking a long time in a stall — accompanied by a little bag of white powder. A security guard confronted him as he left, and Mars ended up getting probation and community service for a cocaine charge — all as his song “Just the Way You Are” climbed the Billboard charts.
