Did you know that the original line was "Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in DALLAS with all that stuff"? They changed it to "Vegas" because JFK had just gotten shot, and they didn't want to remind people of it. If you watch his lips, he is clearly saying "Dallas" but it was dubbed "Vegas" afterward.
