Source: Swingers

Speaker: Trent Walker

"Vegas, baby, Vegas!"

Trent: They're gonna give daddy the Rainman suite, you dig that? We're going to Vegas, Mike. Vegas!

Mike: Do you think we'll get there by midnight?

Trent: Honey, we're going to be up five hundy by midnight!

Mike: Yeah!

Trent: Vegas, baby, Vegas!

Context

This line is spoken by Trent Walker, played by Vince Vaughn, in the film Swingers, directed by Doug Liman (1996).

This quote pops up at the start of the movie when Trent, one of the main characters, convinces his friend, Mike, to take an impromptu trip to Vegas—Vegas, baby!

See, Mike's girlfriend just dumped him. Plus, he's an out-of-work actor, so he's obviously feeling a little bummed. What's a better idea than hitting the tables and partying the night away in Sin City?

Seriously, what could go wrong?

Where you've heard it

Headed to the Gambling Capital of the World? Then you're gonna want to keep this handy little reference in your back pocket, just in case.

Additional Notable References:

  • In The Hangover, the guys yell "Vegas, baby!" to a little girl in a passing car. Not sure if she appreciated the reference.
  • Sheldon really doesn't care for Vegas on The Big Bang Theory. Luckily, Raj has seen Swingers.
  • This quote is also a pretty popular title for TV episodes as According to Jim, The Real Housewives of Orange County, and Cake Boss demonstrate. (Hey, if you're gonna take a trip to Vegas, do it in style.)

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Okay, this one depends. Are you currently on a road trip to Vegas? If so, you're good. Are you just randomly yelling this in the middle of a birthday party? Then sorry, you've entered Annoyingville. Better luck next time, friend.
